Doom in landscape mode on C860?

[GMan]

Is there anyway to make doom play in landscape mode?  Can it play at 640x480 or will it be just a small section of the screen.  I looked through the forums and couldn\'t find this info.

Thanks!

If you\'re using prboom, tap & hold Doom icon & check magnify option. It\'ll play in fullscreen, landscape.

Take a look here http://www.shirtpocket.co.uk/spforum/index...hp?showtopic=27

It was correct last time I tried it, let me know if there need to be any changes...

Thanks!  I wasn\'t using the libSDL that was listed.  Thanks!

I recommend you try the libsdl on this page http://zports.sourceforge.net/ Not only are they optimized for the CXXX series (the arrow keys are mapped correctly for landscape operation), I have found them to be faster. Doom used to chunk a bit with maps with lots of enemies, but it runs much smoother with this lib.

Let me know if you notice a speed up too (I was wondering if relates to how memory I have available)

Cheers,

Thanks,

Will update our FAQ to point to new version as well.

I\'ve set up my 860 with as described but Doom (and Rick Dangerous) comes out upside down ?!?!

Anyone got an idea as to what up (or upside-down)?

Would be REALLY grateful as my new Z looks good playing Doom, mmmmmmhh... Doom...

Sounds like you\'ve got a version of sdl for the 5500 or 5600 zaurus - get the version from Zports (listed ablove) it the best there is for the Cxx0 models.

Where do we get the other dependant packages libSDL-imager, libSDL-mixer, libSDL-net?

Using packages from gnurou:

libSDL-imager 1.2.5cvs-1
libSDL-mixer 1.2.5cvs-1
libSDL-net 1.2.5cvs-1

gives a rotated screen and you cannot run Doom without the above.

[stupkid]

Oh, I should also note that using libsdl 1.2.5slzaurus20031201 with the libSDL-mixer etc. did not exhibit this problem...

[stupkid]

Problem solved!  Set the environment variable SDL_QT_INVERT_ROTATION.  I\'ve done this by creating a shell script to execute doom:

export DOOMWADDIR=\"/mnt/card/game-data/doom\"
export SDL_QT_INVERT_ROTATION=1
/home/QtPalmtop/bin/prboom

Hope this helps.

I\'m using libSDL 1.2.6 from zports and libSDL-mixer, libSDL-imager, libSDL-net 1.2.5cvs and there is no need to export SDL_QT_INVERT_ROTATION, and seems to me to be a tad faster then libSDL-1.2.5.zaurus - I mostly use SDL for Sarien and Scummvm

I have the exact same packages installed and I have to do the above.  There is apparently some part of my SDL setup that detects a 5500 display instead of the C series display.  Perhaps there are left over config files somewhere?

[padishah_emperor]

I found the problem with my 860 to be this version here http://zports.sourceforge.net, oddly the older one for the 5500 works perfect?!?!

Figure that one out, the new one goes belly up and the old one doesn\'t.
But, I am running Doom and Xrick now, and it\'s looking damn fine!


BTW, I\'m running 860 with Cacko\'s Qtopia ROM if that makes any difference.

Well, I read the how-to and all of the relevant posts I could find and I am not quite there yet. I installed libsdl, libsdl-mixer, and prboom from zports. I installed the -3 version of the sdlcx00. I am running Cacko and it would not start from the icon on the games menu (yes, I unchecked the magnify box). I tried a variety of command line options with no luck. The screen is rotated 90 degrees left with the corresponding keymap problems. I found this thread and tried exporting the rotation variable (tried 1,2,3,0). The succeeded in rotating the screen 90 degrees right. However, after the futzing, it runs from the icon in the games menu. Help.
