True Mobile Gaming  by Liam S at 21:22

Ever thought the games available on mobile phones were a complete waste of time? Well times they say are a changing!

Christien Rioux of NoctemWare has ported the recently-GPL-released Quake III Arena from id Software to Windows CE 4.2 for Pocket PC, utilising its SpeedDemon Windows CE profiler. The latest version (Q3CE v1.1) includes direct support for hardware acceleration through OpenGL ES for the PowerVR-enabled Dell Axim x50v/x51v. Q3CE is currently achieving up to 25 fps on the Dell Axim X50v, and is totally playable.

Thats right, Quake 3 in the palm of your hand! Admittedly it's only playable on this PDA, but it won't be too long till you could be sitting on a train fragging someone in the next carridge!

PDA's arent phone sized.. the smallest of them is only a tiny bit smaller than the PSP (i.e. XDA II) most PDA's are smaller but not quite phone sized


Why not register and have your say?
