So I was going through my long lost collection of old Windows games and stumbled upon a copy of the original Call of Duty. For the minimum specs, any android phone could really take it ( min. 350MHz, 64MB of RAM and any GPU. So in your opinion, do you think it would be possible to convert any old games like that to Android?

CPU architecture, windows' x86 vs mobile's ARM.
I mean other gaming systems have emulators, but you wont get a windows emulator, like almost ever.
You can however, do a remote desktop sort of thing.
x86 vs ARM. Plain and simple to start with. Need we delve into the fundamentals of how different the two operating systems are and how code written for one is specific to it?

Alright, thread solved. But that would still be awesome to play if there was a way devs could maybe remake games like that.
Dont know if you ever play zombies on black ops but someone created a black ops zombies for android. It is surprisingly similar to the original.

I know, that's like nothing compared to a full, developed game though
you can play some REALLY old games through dosbox, like redalert or age of empires, but thats essentially done through brute force emulation, you can also play most old point and click adventures like scummvm which is brilliant, and you MIGHT be able to play cod(if there is a psone version)through retroarch or psx4droid, but it probably wont be a great experience, if you want an fps, nova 3 and mc 4, as blatant ripoffs as they are, and s cheaply developed as they are, play pretty well, counter strike portable also works pretty well

So, I bit the bullet and bought a Prime, I had talked myself out of it about 9 million times, was going to buy a used one from chin-a-ling (sorry mate) but my fiancee pushed me, and pushed me and I finally bought one... I am in love.
But the title says it all, I am wondering what the future is going to be. My hope is to end up being able to play Portal on this thing one day. With the fact that Bethesda has mentioned possible tablet ports of older titles, Valve has always been one to examine all unique possibilities. It would be incredible to be Chell running through the hall way, aiming and then tapping where I want the portal
Anyways, what does everyone else think? Looking forward to seeing what the major companies might do? Games you hope to see ported or even developed as a standalone counterpart from your favorite series?

I think tablet gaming especially on iOS has a bright future. Some of iOS's best exclusives have trickled their way to Android. But there is still a lot to be desired on the Android platform as far as games go. Currently EPIC is making fantastic games for iOS through ChAIR Entertainment. Hopefully they will one day embrace Android.
Well ios has infinity blade and usually gets games a bit earlier. That's about it IMHO.
Android has amazing emulators and most importantly full gamepad support.
There are also some really nice looking tegra3 exclusives coming. Definately infinity blade lvl of graphics.
I'd say the future is bright. Me personally I'm hoping for point and click adventures getting big on tablets. They perfect for touch control.
Gaming on tablets and Prime will be SICK! Just watch. Already amazed at the types of games I'm playing already. And I don't play b.s. ones like angry birds or whatever. Lol hardcore gamer here.
I used to be a hardcore gamer before I joined the Navy but after I got out I haven't had time with school, but I am a huge Portal/Half Life Fan, as well as a few of the other artsy FPS games e.g. Mirrors Edge. I KNOW the Tegra 3 can handle it, it is a matter of whether or not the big guys will believe in the future of tablet/mobile gaming. It is a growing segment of serious gamers, and I think that tablet ownership would increase as games become more innovative/complex.

And it works like a charm. It never ceases to amaze me that the first time I played day of the tentacle I had to clear my 40MB(!) hdd before I could install it, was supplied om an enormous amount of floppy disks, took ages to install and now I can play it on a apparatus small enough to fit in my pocket (in case of my galaxy nexus)...
They need to bring the Broken sword series to Android. I have both games on Ipad n loved them. Like a touch point n click. Graphics n storyline is very good.

There's an app or method to get apps not available in your area or whatever. I forgot what it was. I would think as long as you have a decent to fast internet connection, Onlive should work fine for you. Plus its a free app so technically someone could upload the free apk for you to use. Worth a shot.

well, with all the game devs porting games (gta3 for example, its a direct port of the pc version, you can stil use all the mods and cheats on it) i was wondering: how is it done, and can it be done for any game? well, there is one game which i would pay money for to have on my htc evo 3d: Star Wars: knights of the old republic. if anyone could port this or tell me how i could seriously give them money as i would lovelovelovelove this game on my evo 3d. any dev who could do it name a reasonable price, send me a video of you playing it at a normal speed, tell me how you did it, and ill pay you.

I'm sure it's possible for any game, but you have to think about processing power. GTA3 was a ps2 game, released in 2001, and it can BARELY run on most android devices now.

One, as stated above, that game will probably never run on an android device. And two, you are asking a LOT. It would take a team of people months, if not over a year to get it working.
Have you tried installing a bochs emulator and installing the game on the image lol :-D
Be nice to see doom the original.
Sent from the Reaper
Doom would probably be possible people already have it running on Playstation Portable if I remember correctly they even had Quake II working and I'd bet money the EVO 3d is more powerful than a PSP.
I had Doom running on my iPod Nano 1G with iPod Linux. Doom is possible and easy to port (from a developer's perspective) because it is open source and the game engine code is readily available. GTA III is closed-sourced. Rockstar did not port the game themselves; a different company did. Rockstar is the publisher and distributer.
Well, i could play the original KOTOR on a comp with much much much lower specs then my evo, and yes i tried bochs but it sucked. gta3 works swimmingly on my evo 3d, and its ported from the pc version not the ps2. thats why pc cheats work. so, as i said, any dev able could really earn some money.
Please stay on topic, i was talking about KOTOR not Doom.

I used to play the old Doom on my MOTO ROKR E6. The phone was great with only 312Mhz Intel PXA 270 processor and 4MB RAM and 8MB internal memory. It was also able to play NES,SNES,PSX,GBA etc on full speed. Duke Nukem, couter strike and old DOOM were ported to it more than 4 years ago. It was also able to run some windows versions using DosBOX. The phone was expandable upto 2GB but a kernel made it to support 32GB sdcards as well...........
The only reason for such compatibility that I can think of is that all those apps were designed to make use of the CPUs full potential.
@Arthurln3D
Try Critical strike from Android games section.....works great.
I highly doubt that the 3Ds processor and GPU are powerful enough to handle games like StarWars.
The Xperia Ray with a single core @ 1GHz play GTA 3 flawlessly, but the Gta 3 lags like hell if we run it on the 3D with both cores @ 500Mhz (Same game DATA was used in both phones)
IMO Evo 3D @ one core will lose to single core Xperias......

But porting a game to another device often requires emulation, which requires about 2-3 times the processing power as the original game did.
So again, just to be clear, unless you have say $50,000 or more to pay a team of workers, this isn't going to happen.

Yea exactly cause we just got it for Android, and iPhone has had millions of downloads for those 2 apps. In one day Instagram had 1,000,000+ downloads on Android.
So I assume you don't social yourself with many iPhone users.
Whether you want to believe it or not, just cause its a big franchise won't mean its going to be a big hit...Stupid little games can sometimes blow up more.
Though I wish we had many of the iOS games its something I know when I entered Android its not going to happen.

Your analogy is flawed.
Apple = Consoles (whichever you're a fanboy for)
Android = PC.
Think about it: Apple iPhones have just a couple different sets of hardware, while Android runs the gamut from phones that don't even support OpenGL ES 1.1 to Tegra3. It's like on PC where a developer has to support quad Radeon 7950s AND nVidia Geforce 8800GTXs, while console devs are able to only target one set of hardware on each respective console.

Hey,
I recently saw somewhere (on XDA) post that PS Vita has similiar hardware as smartphones that are coming pretty much now (SGS III, powerd by Tegra3 etc.). So is there a possibility for making such emulator? I know that it won't provide similiar gameplay as with hardware buttons on PSV but some games propably would still be playable without them (or with less) like racing games etc.)
I'm just asking for technical side of this task and if there is someone who plans to try and make one?

it generally takes YEARS for an emulator to be developed for a console and the first place it will appear is on a PC.
Besides, can you imagine trying to cram all the controls for a Vita onto one touchscreen? Yeesh....
I know this is an old thread but it has also copped a lot of wrong answers.
To all of those people saying that it's impossible and that PS1 emulators have barely been perfected and blah blah blah. I will say this now: The PS1 has a completely different architecture to any Android phone/tablet (apart from MIPS ones, which are very rare.) The Vita on the other hand has a CPU with an ARM architecture, which nearly all Android devices have, the Vita itself needs to be hacked for all of the API's and the OS to be emulated but that will probably be the hardest part (apart from emulating the Graphics chip and other complex hardware.) It should be a similar task to emulating Windows programs on Linux and Mac with Wine, or emulating different x86 OSes on x86 hardware, this is also the reason that I think iOS can be emulated but nobody wants to do it because Apple will find a reason to sue them (a reason why I have never bought an Apple product and hopefully never will.)
The message here is to be an optimist, never say impossible and good things will follow, possibly in the form of a Vita emulator on Android or an iOS emulator.
Yeah Seriously

lol 30 years, honestly you can expect an emulator within 10 years of the system release date, if we had dedicated users, I'm sure it get could quicker but it's not "impossible" as PPSSPP, a PSP emulator was recently released on the google store, which runs games PERFECTLY on PC or Mac, it's pretty laggy on my S3-i747m but what games you would expect to run nicely do, of course.
I'm sure newer phones run it smoothly but PSVita games will probably be emulated when the "hype" dies out...
So basically if your asking, can i screw mobile gaming and just buy a phone and bootleg the systems and possibly even play with friends? No.
Can you expect to relive your classics games after you've played them on a legit PSVita in 5-10 years on your Samsung S9 with 16core graphics? Yeah most likely depending on how laws go with the GNU/OSI and how pissed off company's get that they're old ass systems get emulated.
At-least that has been the trend since Atari

Hi there,
Ok, I am a huge fan of old game consoles (nes, snes, psx, etc), but I have always been dissapointed by the emulator performance in most Android devices, there is always sound and gameplay lag of some sort. Not even my 1 Gz dual-core phone can emulate psx at fullspeed ;(. Even a console with an older and slower cpu like the Pandora Classic runs the same emulator far better than my phone.
So, do you think game emulaors (and other similar apps) will run better on Ubuntu touch?

Probaly android apps have a java overlay which means they go slower as apps run through android then java so i guess in that regard yes
But what emulators are u trying. I'm a emumanic and everything runs at full speed except for ps1 but there still playable on 836mhz armv6 processor
So dual core should be blowing them out of the water its probaly your settings for ps1 i use fpse what'd u use?

Thanks Tingin, well I tested the emulators that come with the RetroArch release for Android. The psx emulator is pcsx-rearmed, one of the best, free psx emulators out there. It was released originally for the OpenPandora, an arm powered gaming console that runs some linux distro. The emulator runs almost all games fullspeed at 800 Mhz, and by that I mean with no frameskip. The cpu of pandora classic is a 600 Mhz Cortex A8, my phone has a 1Gz Cortex A9 with a better gpu, so it should easily beat the pandora there.
I talked with a dev from RetroArch, and he confirmed that there is a drop in performance in all the emulator cores compared to other devices. Even his GameCube beats his Cortex A8 tablet in the tests he has run.
BTW, I'm an emumaniac too , but I'm also very picky when it comes to playing a game using an emulator, because I like to play with no frameskip at all, and no sound lag.
So I really hope, Ubuntu touch will really use "the full power of the phone".
Here's a link to some discussion about this: http://boards.dingoonity.org/androi...every-android-emulator-on-my-new-s7300-too-(/
Thank god we finally have an official Q&A for Ubuntu Touch.

I'm porting Ubuntu to my device. (One X) However when I enter the ubuntu-session command I can't see anything else but a black screen. Any ideas?

U should try fpse just the fact that I can get close to full speed on some games (no frameskip) is enough my phone is dead slow a 1ghz a9 should be more than enough all u need to do is turn on boost mode this isn't frameskip it uses the BIOS file to help with emulation it isn't on by default because there's a chance it'll crash but I never had any problems plus this app is updated regular only thing is that it's paid but its still worth it

The issue without having s-off is that the device isn't completely unlocked. I'm not sure if writing custom kernels with s-on is an issue with the One X (I've been out of the HTC game for a long time).
I digress though. Is there CM 10.1 for your phone?

On our device boot partition can be written to with a pc and fastboot commands.
We do have CM10.1 and it works quite flawlessly. I used kernel and device trees from it.

Someone had mentioned something similar in the Toro Plus forum. By the way, don't know if it counts as a port, but the Sprint Galaxy Nexus (Toro Plus) also has a version up and running. Absolutely no radio though, just WiFi.

I have a functioning d2att port. Pm for DL if you want it. WiFi doesn't work without doing stuff through ssh. Not sure of the process though. Also 3g/cell service doesn't work yet. So still a wip.
