re: iPhone darkplaces

Apple's approval process for new iPhone developers is pretty much this: if you can pay the $99 fee, you're approved.

Though, Quake as it stands would not be fun on the iPhone, the platform would really need a simpler FPS with controls designed for the interface, and levels / monsters designed for the controls, rather than a clumsy straight port.

what about thst csqc?

do u suppose tht might be a standard eventually?

at leastin gl, i dont know how it would look in a software :\

What it probably runs on (with a recompile or possibly a little editing):
OpenPandora (product not released yet, will see what is involved)

ARM Processor (so no FPU), 128MB ram, may possibly need re-written (or SDL) joystick support, should be similar to the Linux port apart from that.

Now, what platform does DarkPlaces not run on that people actually care about?

older pentiums and 486s obviously. func_msgboard is obviously a ghetto full of people stuck on them. *sarcasm*

Crashing on certain video drivers is not an excuse (workarounds can be added if people tell me what feature does not work on what driver).

oh? does this mean there's a possible chance of running this on PCX2 chipset?

Yes if you can get me a log with the startup details with the -developer -condebug options, and then a list of -nowhatever options that are required to get it to work properly (assuming it runs with -safe - if it doesn't even run with that it may be fairly hopeless).

Not sure that there is any value in PCX2 support though.

On a personal note, I've been "dreaming" about a Wii DP port for a while, as the Wii control scheme and mentality (accessibility mainly) fits the DP game I've been working on lately, so that'd be pretty damned wicked...

DP mods on the Wii would rock. I loved how aiming worked in Metroid Prime. It's not as effective as a mouse in a classic fast-and-furious quake DM, but in single player it would be very cool.

There is someone already working on the port.

phrosty in #fte mentioned working on it.

I've got one preordered but not sure when that will ship.

I doubt it will require any special support.

Some ARM processors DO have an FPU, for example the Dreamcast's cpu had a few floating point ops (critical since it ran 3D games), I don't know if the Pandora's cpu does but I'd assume so for performance reasons.

Quake 2 unoptimised runs on it at 60fps at 320 x 240. It does have a FPU

Check the videos on youtube.

Quake 3 should run pretty smoothly on it too, once that gets ported and takes advantages of the hardware. Some even say Doom 3 could work, if that ever becomes open source.
