Default DROID does: EQ

EDIT: Go to page 2 to see new information, including video footage of Project 1999 pulling more than 15+FPS on a phone. Go to page 4 for a final full write up on the process, links, and everything else you need to know or might just be curious about! This first post is now outdated and left merely as a history reference for what DOES NOT work! Page 4 for new guide!

EDIT2: This is all rather outdated, im using APP assisted means now, getting 30-40 FPS in nearly all games with a few minor bugs still to be worked out. The app assisted route was the way to go for visual quality and speed. Considering recent news articles and getting posted on BluesNews I would like to say thanks to the P99 devs for an awesome server! Also, this type of gaming is not recomended for everyone, to optain my eventual goal of 50-60fps its going to take alot so if you melt your phone with a 4x overclock its not my fault! Also stay tuned for an eventual Custom ROM for DROID 1 owners, a stripped down superclocked naked rom that does nothing but play games.

So i got bored and wanted to see how P1999 performed on an android.

TOOLS:
Moto DROID
Bugless Beast 1.0 ROM
7x slot 1.2GHz overclock CPU kernel
SETCPU clocked and locked at 1.2 GHZ, performance power profile
101Mb system memory ram available at the time via AGGRESSIVE as hell system process cutting
Android VNC (DROID side) and TightVNC (PC side) across a wireless LAN (This also works off the lan over 3g btw, but its REALLLLY slow then)
Screenshot app used is ShootME.
PC SIDE: Yea i didnt think about it and left EQ maxed gfx wise, everything cranked up, video card running at 16x AA+AF. Poor choice.

I experimented running it in GrayScale, 8 color, 256 Color and 24bit color, and all the different scaling options (Hence why some screens are full scree and others are unscaled)

RESULT: Piss SLOWWWW....though honestly I dont think its as much to do with CPU speed at this point, most likely VNC itself is causing the bottleneck somewhere, bandwidth is definitely impacted though by leaving the client at insane settings that my ACER netbook gets 5-10 fps at also.

Total FPS: .0001 - 2 FPS depending on color depth and action on screen. Ill experiment more in the future with different servers to broadcast from. However everything does work, moving, mouse control, chat, spells (I tried some buffing there in oasis) everything except sound. BTW every app and program EXCEPT for SetCPU is a free download.

edit: Im sure the more technically astute will say "Theres no big deal in this" Except for a game to run, even marginally through a VC is on a damn PHONE is cool, and its a fun project. My goal, is 5 fps at all times on the droid, for shits and giggles. Well see how it goes eh?
