id Games for Linux PDAs

Bill Kendrick writes: "Thanksgiving was a great day for Linux PDA gaming. Not one, but two classic id games were ported to not one, but two different Linux PDAs! Quake (screenshots) is available for the Sharp Zaurus and the original Wolf3D is out for the Agenda VR3. Now if only they could do Unreal Tournament over IR ports..."

Source code

[Anonymous Coward]

Source code for this version can be found here:
http://www.sourceforge.net/projects/handheldquake/
Also an incomplete web page for the project is here:
http://handheldquake.sf.net/

The idea is the source code will be able to be compiled conditionally for many different handheld platforms.

The current ipkgs should work not only on the sharp zaurus device but also should work on recently compiled versions of Qt Palmtop on iPAQs.

Packages are at:
http://qpe.sourceforge.net/packages/ipaq/unstable/

Installation instructions from Joris on the sharp-linux@yahoogroups.com mailing list:

install the small qpe-quake_1.5.0-1_arm.ipk file like you'd normally do. (The following can be done on your desktop) Now, rename the big qpe-quake-data_1.5.0-1_arm.ipk to qpe-quake-data_1.5.0-1_arm.ipk.tar.gz, and extract it: tar zxvf qpe-quake-data_1.5.0-1_arm.ipk.tar.gz You'll get control.tar.gz and data.tar.gz Somehow get data.tar.gz to you CF (/mnt/CF), for example using ftp or SCP Open a terminal and move the file to your CF: mv data.tar.gz /mnt/cf extract the file tar zxvf data.tar.gz there should be a directory structure like: opt/QtPalmtop/quake/.... create a symlink, so quake knows where it's data is: ln -s /mnt/cf/opt/QtPalmtop/quake /opt/Qtpalmtop/ For questions, please visit #zaurus on irc.openprojects.net
