DROID does: EQ

[ShadowWulf]

Yes Todd its an eq issue it seems, but the devs are going to try (they said try, no promises!) to investigate it and narrow down the issue.

Bind autowalk and that works fine though, as does text and most hotkeys. It suffices for light playing, buffing, selling etc etc.

i don't think even running under wine will be able to bypass the dedicated gpu issue. with titanium there's no option to use dx8, but there was one client i know of that uses dx8 and software rendering rather than hardware, which would be trilogy i guess? That client would (theoretically) run on your phone natively.

push that phone to it's limits imo, try running civilization 4 or something on it :P I'm pretty sure it uses software shit

[Dawgrin]

Just wanted to bump this a bit. Has anyone else had any new revelations on this front?

Any try this on an incredible or other phone with just virtual keyboards?

Has anyone been able to think of a way to actually get the client itself to run on the phone rather than being tethered to a PC?

Has anyone tried this with an HTC Incredible? Wondering how the touch screen keyboard would work...

No that i know of. I can assure you it might suck though, or require more juggling than is neccessary to do simple tasks.

I do have a new video of EvE online running on my droid however [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Believe it or not, EvE runs FAR better than EQ does, and this is at 32 bit color with alpha on, 1680 x 1050 resolution. Ill post more video of it undocking and flying around a little later.

As for getting a windows architecture game (EQ) to run natively on a Linux based phone? No, not going to happen without probably redesigning the whole engine from the ground up. Im sure the P99 devs could chime in with more info on that front, they're the experts here not me, but for now ill just leave it at a resounding "No".

Thats impressive. I'd be warry though, AT&T is doing away with their unlimited data usage contracts for the Iphone soon, they are loosing major bucks to unlimited usage. I'm sure they will be re-doing people's contracts without their notice, except by mail in small print in one of their upcoming bills. With AT&T doing this I imagine that other companies will soon follow suit, and I can't begin to think what kind of data usage EQ would require.

Just a heads up.

This is awesome. I have the moto droid and ive yet to mess with any of the emulator stuff but it seems pretty cool. This seems like it would be a little too intense for me though. I would love if they somehow made a mobile version of the game with simple controls for the touch screen, it would definitely be possible for Everquest, because we all know you dont need movement and stuff on EQ like you do on say World of Warcraft.

a) Not sure what AT&T has to do with someone's Droid.
b) Read that those on the current unlimited data plans will be grandfathered in if they wish.

Edit: I see, the "other companies may follow suit" portion. I have faith in Verizon, also see point b. Whenever a company makes a major contractual change, you're pretty much always guaranteed an offer to be "grandfathered in" on whatever your current plan entails.

Also, I own an HTC Incredible. I owned a Droid for a couple weeks before the Inc was released. Not sure what that guy was talking about seeing "individual pixels" on the Inc's screen, I don't get that all. Basically the Incredible's screen is much brighter and more vibrant in low light (indoors) but gets sort of washed out outdoors. Which is totally worth it since I use my phone indoors much more often than out, and even outside it's possible to see what you're doing, sorta.

Still glad I have my Incredible since all its pros totally outweigh the pros of the Droid (the biggest being a physical keyboard, but without it the Inc would be as heavy and clunky as the Moto Droid). I'd definitely rather have the sleek professional design over the Droid's keyboard. Could I play EQ with it? Yeah, but would I? No way.

this.. looks.. cool.. is the bottleneck the server CPU encoding process? i would expect the server's upload bandwidth.. however, i don't really know anything about phones

i'm really interested in droid/pc tethering though.. have you tried using it in many other applications? more interested in hearing about other stuff as well. can't find a really good forum for modding/hacking yet

quick question.. can the droid view sites like livestream/ustream/blipp.tv with its native browser?

i just bought a moto droid -_-
