Cool bro. Guess you didnt read the very first line in the first post though, huh?

New Video: Running around oasis this time! Yep full movement up the beach to wave and sit with another group! Btw the FPS in game are better than the video shows, the ERIS i used to record with and youtube combined make it appear much slower than it actually is.

This is also running at 1024x768, 32 bit color, sky off, LOD on as the first performance tweaking tests.

well I'll be. Only thing I've ever seen of people doing stuff like this over VNC was was misery incarnate. that's pretty playable.

Interesting. I wouldn't have thought to run the game on my Droid. I'm guessing your phone is rooted? Since the 2.1 patch the performance of the phone has gone down slightly, in an effort no doubt to help with battery conservation. I've not tried to play Quake yet either.

Hate to break this to you, but he's close. The only thing that PhoneMyPC offers that your generic VNC client wont is SSL. It's the same thing tbh.

While impressive, all you've really done is overclock the piss out of your phone and put an optimized VNC-type program on it. When a phone can run EQ natively, I'll be impressed. No dedicated video = Always being tethered to a PC. You are dependent on that PC working, not dropping connection, etc, or else you can't do anything.

For now, a Droid "running" eq is nothing more than a remote control imho, and it's worth is debatable at best because of the lack of a Bazaar or central trade hub.

Maybe, but again its fun, and thats worth something.
I did make a few hundred plat buffing lowbies and others today in a few zones using the setup.
The key difference is speed between this implementation and a generic VNC client. This is perfectly playable as it with relatively few bugs, VNC even on wireless is not.
As for EQ installed natively on an Android phone, ill l;eave THAT task to someone who wants to engineer the os itself and find a way to make a WINE equivalent emulation setup run on it, which may or may not run any better than this does.

Nicely Done

Ok heres the video proof.

Ok, bad video quality I had to use my wife's ERIS to record this, but at least you can be relatively sure its not a fake eh? If someone actually doubts this THAT much ill record chatting and buffing them via the phone.

Temps hit 104 F at the highest for the phone. A tad warm but not dangerously unsafe. Again the phone was clocked at 1.2 GHz, wireless connection (54MBs).

Everything works EXCEPT for some reason i cant get the arrow keys to translate properly, but casting, chatting, jumping, buffing, combat everything works.

Average FPS was about 15ish and maybe quite a bit higher when zoomed in. Multi touch works.

The app that enables this kind of gameplay is PhoneMyPC via the market, but i strongly recommend a good OC and a custom performance rooted ROM to get anything approaching playable performance like this.

Also an insanely fast MicroSD care swap like the Kingston CLASS 10 16Gb is well worth it, its responsible for seriously speeding up swap and load times. (For comparison, the MicroSD in all stock cell phones is a class 2, meaning 2 MB/s max, where a Class 10 is 10 MB/s rate).

First video attempt, outside the gates of East Freeport
TEMP INFO: Temps got up to 40c during this test, and stabilized

Second video attempt, on the oasis docks. More going on, a group is fighting (I cast a few spells as well), particles, spell effects, combat, and zooms and pans.
TEMP INFO: Temperature again got up t0 44c (104f) during this test and stabilized. FYI the droid is rated by motorola up to 70c (200f)!

Last Video: This time i start with the keyboard closed and the client in vertical mode, then demonstrate the client rotation to landscape..aaaaand some random clicking and zooming around because im tired and its late and i need sleep.
TEMP INFO: 42c this time, HOWEVER something caused a lovely crash right after i finished filming and rebooted the phone totally. Upon reboot the temp was already back to 36c so im figuring a client error and not temperature.

the official specs on the droid's ARM cortex a8 processor, the operating temperature is 0c to 90c (standard applications), and -40c to 105c (extreme applications). Either way the minimum max temp is 90C (194F).

drang just told me about this. . .

WOW BADASS!

it looks like it runs fairly good on that overclocked phone o yours.

minus the camera quality that looks really good.

CHEERS! im going to keep my eye on this thread

Playing EQ whilst waiting for the bus or something might possibly be the future i envisioned in 1999... everyone else was picturing flying cars and artificial humans... not me!
