Title: Games for C7x0?
Post by: mizzle on October 06, 2003, 10:31:29 pm

I\'ve been trying to find out what games to put on my C760  Even though most Zaurus games do not take advantage of the high resolution offered by the C7x0 series, but they do run. What are your TOP 5 games for your C7x0?  :wink:

Currently I have Kpacman and Mighty Charms installed on mine. Just tried out Froot and it seems cool!!

(1) nethack (see m54.spy.org)
(2) mahjongg (man, I need to write my own)

I use those... then I also have played with:
(3) knights
(4) mame
(5) ?

missile command crashes for me.

I really want to get xu4 and exult working... I\'ll probably get scummvm working just enough to test the demo game.

ps: I\'m looking for ICC client, bsd-empire client, etc.

How does the C7x0 handle games that only work in portrait mode and require the direction keys etc? (E.g. Interstellar Flames, Tetrix, etc)

How you play froot in your C7x0?  I\'ve installed this and the game only runs in portrait mode under low resolution.  I can\'t turn the screen as PDA mode because I need to use the arrow keys!  It\'s weird to hold the C760 with clam shell open but screen in portrait mode.

If running in high resolution, the window is shrinked and very hard to see.

It depends on my mood, but I don\'t mind playing it in open clamshell portrait or unmagnified.  Taking the magnified mode off means that it will be small, but my eyesight is good enough to play it comfortably.

I use Sash\'s X11 based rom as well and play Doom and use Snes9x and have a whole slew of roms for it. (a 55mb folder full  ) I also am working on porting some other games to it as well.

I love nethack, and it seems to be one of the only games I play consistently (sometimes I\'ll play with ScummVM as well), but I really dont like the interface that\'s used in the QT port (especially on the C760). I love the original interface that\'s ported to every other platform (including PocketPC argh). Ominous compiled the good version to the X11 rom, I\'m hoping that someday someone will do the same for the regular QT platform...

No, not the ascii interface. This one:

ahh! look at all that screen realestate!

I guess it would probably be possible to do that QT \"desktop\" interface under the X11 ROM (as it has QT 3.1.2) etc.

has anyone created an ipk of nethack yet?

I think Omin0us just released it last night (xnethack). It\'s 3.4.0 though (not 3.4.2), but that doesnt really affect me, as I cant run it on Sharp ROM anyway!

Post by: ScottYelich on December 17, 2003, 02:14:22 pm

I have 3.4.0 running under sharp rom...
and now 3.4.2 is out.

If/when I get cacko-x11 going, I\'ll be sure to try this out.

I should hunt down crossfire too.
