"GemRB (Game engine made with preRendered Background) is a portable open-source implementation of Bioware's Infinity Engine which was written to support pseudo-3D role playing games based on the Dungeons & Dragons ruleset. It should run on GNU/Linux, Microsoft Windows, OS X and possibly other UNIX derivatives. It is licensed under the GPL. " (http://linux.prinas.si/gemrb/doku.php)

yes. I play it on linux on pc now, it runs stable and fast...
wow! please some one make this work! i'll be a tester too! i love baldurs gate and if i can play it on my hermes it will be amazing!
hey! developers! nobody loves BG&PST? (
Great ideas Guys hope they post this soon while am waiting al just play Doom 1,2, TNT etc. and Dukenuken 3D on my WM cant wait for this lol
Seems to me it would be an easy job, as all you would need to do is have the proper dependencies. http://forums.gibberlings3.net/index.php?showtopic=16785
This forum has a post about it, with a link to installation instructions. I don't have time to hassle with it now, but looks like you need a few libs installed and thats it. If anyone wants to try gof or it! Seems like all we would need is a CAB to install dependencies, and that youtube vid was a year ago, I am sure there is a way now.
Baldur's Gate would be the best and looks like the entire focus of the development. Problem would be that it would be VGA only. I don't see this working on a qvga screen. The original game was 480x640 with BG2 being able to play at VGA or higher.
well, i searched for a version of gemrb for ppc but found nothing on google... if any of the developers could create one it would be great! i really want to play baldurs gate on my hermes!
Oh man this would be awesome on my Touch HD. Good find! Now hopefully the gurus around here will take a look and get it working.
The last (and only) time I tried to port a python game to Windows Mobile, I was stuck at getting pygame to run. This seems to have less dependencies so might be easier.
I love the 2D series of RPGs but GemRB is nowhere near complete yet.
Well am not a programming guru but you Guys keep saying that its easy to port thats Good but can you tell us if your porting right now and we should wait for it to get completed or no body started yet I really wish I can help but again am not a programer al leave this to the pros
wow, this would be AWESOME if someone could get it to work!
If someone wants to try porting, here is a post with links to WinCE versions of the required libraries. I haven't tried any of them and the link is in Russian.
... made by the original poster, no less
because i am not a programer, if you csn tell me what to do, i am will to try my self... and where to find the games?
The games? You have to buy and prepare them for GemRB yourself. There was some discussion of fanmade games for GemRB but it is a lot of work.
Porting such a program is not a trivial task and is impossible for a non programmer.
yes, i am sorry, i figure it out about the games after that post... it's good then i have all the series of bg and IWD in my home... so, if i can not do anything because i am not a programer, as i said before i am willing to beta test so please, anyone can make it happend?
anyone?
I want this to happen! There's gotta be somone out there who can do it!
This would...
This would change my life! (well my free time)
FOR EVER! (for at least 2 weeks until I complete it again.)
I have such warm fuzzy memories of this game. Imoen the theif girl who I am sure I managed to pull.....
Hours and hours of clicking frenzy.
Never Winter nights 2 just never grabbed me in the same way that these old games did.
I really hope that this can be done. I am unable to sit in front of my PC and replay this as I have so many things I wan to play and look at. Having this on mobile wouyld be perfect!!

Hello, Xda-developers....
I have been looking for interesting games for my Touch HD and Touch Pro and have sadly not been impressed by all of them... There have been some that stand out in my eyes, but not alot. So my plan is to create a group of developers to join in and make a series of great games for our Touch HD and (Touch Pro and Diamond). If anyone would like to help me in this process please do message me or post a reply... I have great graphic skills... but do not know much about developing windows mobile.
I have come up with a quick (outline of what some of the games will be) The shot is posted below...
again please contact me if you are interested in helping..
Current Developers:
*Me
I could be tempted to write either a TIME PILOT clone or a PINBALL game in either PPL (very easy) or C# if someone wanted to collaborate on graphics and Game play

There should be many games if we have VGA games emulator => WVGA fix (which already exist) which uses those 160x480 pixels as a virtual dpad like this
http://upload.csrune.com/files/dpadsip669.PNG
. So if you are really able to make some new game, then maybe you can this ? Because if you can, it would be much more usefull than one new game. With this, we can play loads of VGA games which needs dpad.
my hole point is to make a game specifically for the HD... which uses only hd functions so it can be fully optimized....
arent there any developers interested???
Hey.. Since no developer here seems to be too interested in creating a few Gsen games for the HD (i got a few ideas) I would like to start develop games.. However I would need some guidance in doing this since im a complete noob.. If any developer is willing to start working on this with me (eventhough im a noob) please write here.
I know pretty much about computers and stuff and I learn quick so it might be worth a shot.
Bump,,
Im just looking for some advice anyone?
I am no developer, but would suggest you look in to visual studio and the win mo 6.1 sdk. there are a few very good tutorials on the microsoft website which should get you started.
best of luck and let me know if you manage to develop anything.
Tyvm for the advice, will look into the things listed
I'd be interested to see what you find out.
I'm doing a games design degree at the moment.
if you can make something in flash and use an extra
bit of software to translate that to WM for controls
I'd love to mod the group project we did last year to
run on my phone, it'd be fun to wind up my mate in class
with an iphone
Yeah thats what i thought about too..
I know a few games written in flash that would work very well with the Gsen. Im going to work on in later to day so ill holla back
Ehm btw what project did you do last year? ^^

Hi Ghekua and ty for the reply!
Don't expect games too soon though, since im new to developing but you can almost be certain that something is going to be released because when I start working on something i won't stop untill it works
I'll post on this thread as soon as i have a little sucess ^^

you guys may want to reach out to Hekk: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=482359
His apps work on the Touch Pro (you just need to change he sensor.dll for the Touch Pro's and it works). I don't know him but I see he's been pretty active at developing gsen apps so he clearly knows his stuff.

1.unpack and copy coresponding ppc version (VGA OR WVGA) to your Storage Card root
2.unpack and copy pc version to your C:
3.insert original starcraft CD into drive

Good luck with it mate! Would love to see this happen.
oh boy, oh boy!!!
I was following this thread for (almost) 2 year on this forum:
http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=547989&page=22
They had little luck getting as far as you probably did... maybe they have some info that may be usefull to you...
Just out of curiosity, after its done will you consider vga/qvga resolutions too?
Keep up the great work and if you need any help on icons, graphics or something let me know.

vga and wvga is possible
qvga is not acceptable because you can not see what is happening on screen
desktop variant even loads the map
for the ppc texture is too big and i will need to reduce the texture to something smaller and with less tiles
i will need to redesigh all maps after this
so i will need your help but first we need to load an reduce map on the ppc
i have also on xperia forum in my kitchen the link for warcraft II and transport tycoon
please try them
br
hy all
alpha 2 is up
pc version works and load maps you can even play
for ppc we need to redesign the tile map so it will take time
i will do an test map to see if it loads it
br
I have a nike, so I wont be able to test anything, but give me the instructions of what files you need croped/resized/slashed and I'll send them to you or post them here.

you can help me using the pc version
is the same data for both versions
and scripts folder is used for developpement
please open scripts and try to make menus for secenario game
yo can use this editor http://www.flos-freeware.ch/zip/notepad2.zip
br
hmm...hehehe... Im not a programmer, only play around in flash because its very simple to use.
I was offering more on the edition of images department, sorry... :/
well everything is in LUA scripts the menus the interface ...
i will have to play a lot to make it work on qvga, BTW it starts on QVGA device but as you know the resolution is a lil high for it
Wooohooo, and there's the next great Desktop game coming to us!
BTW: I can test it on my Diamond for VGA users if you wish!
i think there is easyer way to do it for VGA - this is WVGA and all the graphics have their sizes fixed ....
i will have to find my starcraft cds ... to start experiment on this
OMG if you guys can get this working on VGA as good as warcraft2 runs and as bug free I (and im sure many others) will donate!!!!!!!!!! HUGE starcraft fan here =)
WOOHOO....HUGE Starcraft fan here too. I can't wait for Starcraft II to be released. I have both original CD's of Starcraft I and Brood Wars. I still play this today. I have many more missions (maps) from users on the internet. Some are awesome.
I swear I will buy a WVGA device just to be able to play this game!!! I will certainly use my wife's Xperia to test it once it's going.
bump.. no helpers? =)
Why dont you try to run it on VGA, it will start, but some of the things may be cutted from the both sides

I was a fan myself, and I guess I still am, so I would like to help, let me know what I can do.
my spare time is very limited but I'll try.
I cant program, so I can only help on the images...
Wouldn't it be easier to get a working VGA game, since StarCraft runs in VGA natively? And if you want to make it WVGA, you would stretch the aspect ratio of the game?
Normally I prefer to have correct aspect before full-screen, but perhaps it's different on such a small screen.
Anyway, StarCraft would be the NUMBER ONE GAME I'd like to have on PPC, bar none. And, I do have a Diamond - so I'm quite biased towards the VGA version...
Amazing! Can't wait to see it, I really hope you bring it to VGA. If you need someone to help test it on a VGA device, my Touch Pro is at your disposal.

i fully agree. There has been talk of this a long time, looks like we are finally getting somewhere. Keep up the good work, I am sure many would be willing to donate, I know I would.
Is anyone able to help me or point me in the right direction to get plants vs zomies working on my HTC.
Its a standalone .exe file, 30mb in total...there must be a way!
I agree it's a way too cool a game!
Someone else popped the same question before:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=514635
Perhaps you have more luck
There must be some sort of .exe emulator or some way of getting it to work.
Ive seen far more powerful things working on the HTC....this is nothing compared to them!
Come on developers, please please please help me!
Yeah..would love to see this game on our winmo
I would just be thankful for any new decent game releases on WinMo, ever since the iPhone has come along all other platforms seem to have been forgotten about
+1.... son wants that game
+1. want the game too
i suggest you guys take it to the developers although, tbh, i doubt they would make a game for wm6.x
maybe wp7 will get a version of the game.
there is a flash version on their site, cant someone download it and port it, becouse i cant even download it
i've seen the flash version, its only a demo - but still fun.
ill give this a go myself and see how i get on ... but remember it isnt the full version unfortunatly.
had a go at getting the .swf but no luck. used firefox and the only flash animations you can download (that work) are the banner ads. if you download what i think is the game itself, its just a white box.
would be nice to have this game...
This game is so fun to play on when your bored, it can keep you entertained for hours
*Link To Original*
There is a really well made Iphone version which my friend is always on, so I thought Id try and fine one for winmo devices, but I failed
Theres is an old version someone made, but its for VGA screen and so is not supported for me, + the project has been discontinued so no hope in the future.
*Link To Old Port*
So I thought, Im sure one of our many skilled developers here could work something up, so here I am, asking you what you think I would like to help to but I dont (yet) know the first thing about programming, sorry, however I could try and support other ways if at all possible
( It was suggested somewhere to install flashplayer lite and run a .swf of the game, I tried that but it is quite unresponsive to the touchscreen and messy)
Thanks,
