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. |

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

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... _________________ Look out for Twigboy |

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. _________________ When my computer inevitably explodes and kills me, my cat inherits everything I own.

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. |
