Is it possible to make a port of diablo 1 or 2 for android? If so, has it been done already? Is anyone willing to try this? I'm sure many people would enjoy it

If you've based your thoughts on fact there is for example Quake 3 for Android, then you don't know, what you're talking. We don't have sources of Diablo, it's impossible to port it.
Oh that sucks.
I'd go to the games developers and ask them. At least for v1, which is quite old by now.
It would be easier to convert Baldur's Gate I and II using GemRB. Not that it would be easy. Especially porting over the sound.
There's a windows mobile version of Diablo....I think that's where he was coming from.
Didn't know about the PPC WM version. Problem is .NET. In theory you could try MONO on android to see how well it works. Mono is in the app store now, I just haven't tried it. I also don't know what other libraries you would need.
diablo
what about a program like wine is there something like that for the android os
There is also a playstation version of diablo you could try on the emulator.
Havent tried it myself though so I have no idea how it runs.
Diablo
I have installed the emulator psx4droid Diablo 1 for Playstation 1 and is fully playable on my MM.
(Sorry for my English)
for the meantime you can try the Gameloft game Dungeon Hunter hack N slash RPG

Why not just download the PS1 version and run it on the PSX emulator in the market?

WINE works by simply placing the Windows API on top of the Linux API, the processor still handles all the code natively. Since your phone uses an ARM rather then a x86 based processor, it wouldn't have a clue how to handle x86 code. You need something like dosbox that emulates the whole computer, processor and all.
I am baring in mind that this post is quite old but just so the author knows that both games can be played on android, although those methods are lengthy
Diablo 1 can be played using PSX4DROID which is a psx emulator...
Diablo 2 can be played on Linux (ubuntu) which you can install on android and then have wine on android and you can easily play diablo 2
The only thing you need is to have atleast 8 memory to have these things on your android lol

Dont give up hopes, there are ways. Like using PSX Emulators and all that.
I've found this. Haven't tested it myself. I'll let you know when i do Link below
Android -> VNC -> Ubuntu -> Magic -> Diablo II

so a bunch of friends and i bought touchpads for 75 a pop due to discounts woot woot! and we were talking about how sweet life would be if we got diablo 2 running on these things! havent got a chance to part up the game discs but im also looking for input, who has kind words of failure?

since it doesnt run in dosbox and without source code, not much of a chance like any other ARM based cpu. games like quake and quake3 will and even the original duke nukem 3d could all run natively if someone compiled them for ARM. The first 2 already have been and i know quake is located in preware.
If Android gets ported over to the Touchpad, there is a PSX (playstation) emulator for Android and you can play Diablo-1 that way.

your laptop also has an x86 processor
I didn't realize they made Diablo for consoles. It would work in a emulator for that though.
Can a DEV please give a look at the playstation part of the tablet because of the new game stardust maybe the zpak will be diiferent or maybe a change in the emulator? I want to have more fun with my tablet with the playstation part. Thank you
err, could you be more specific? what exactly do you mean with more fun?
As far as I know there are devs playing around with the PSStore but thats on the Xperia forums not quite my thing though,
but you could give it a try. maby there will be some answers.
NINJA EDIT:
You could also try a third party PSone emulator, works great -Not with all games btw-
Maby getting psxperia project working on the tablet i have as well an xperia play so i look everyday in those forums bu not much devs are making a project of it i thought because super stardust is a psp port maby a dev can make all psp games work with the tablet?

To kill it nice and early, I would bet money that we will never see a natively coded PSP emulator capable of playing every PSP game on Android. Not gonna happen.
Games 'ported' to the Sony are, in reality, coded differently and therefore only the game developer is likely to be able to do this.
As for the S's built-in emulator, PSXperia was briefly working on this tablet, but the developer stopped supporting the project as a whole, so unless you have a very specific version of the emulator, that won't get you very far. My obvious suggestion would be to just go and get a third-party emulator such as PSXdroid or FPSE and load ROMs into there.
Not to emulate psp but port psp games

As I said before, that would be something only the games developer could do since they have the code. Open-source games could be ported but they're quite rare.

Hey,
I recently saw somewhere (on XDA) post that PS Vita has similiar hardware as smartphones that are coming pretty much now (SGS III, powerd by Tegra3 etc.). So is there a possibility for making such emulator? I know that it won't provide similiar gameplay as with hardware buttons on PSV but some games propably would still be playable without them (or with less) like racing games etc.)
I'm just asking for technical side of this task and if there is someone who plans to try and make one?
impossible.

Probably in 30 years or so, if you want my honest guess.

I guess for now still impossible to do. Even PS1 emulator on android is still not perfect enough to play all PS1 game.
So, still long way to make PS Vita emulator on android
Agreed.
I have a hard time getting my Atari ST emulator to run.
Cheers.!
Yep, i was more like porting Vita systems to android or something then emulator but if it's still impossible, thats ok
Would be pretty much impossible considering that the vita is almost as powerful as the ps3 - (already has more ram)

GS3 has pretty much same vital specs and has more ram than vita
No it isn't you have to understand that processors in a phone are not close to having the same power as a dedicated games device. The vita has a quad core processor and another quad core for the graphics
It has 512mb of ram and another 128mb vram this is much more than the ps3

Its the same situation. Because it uses dedicated hardware.
Even the Nintendo DS emulator lags on high end Smart phones

it generally takes YEARS for an emulator to be developed for a console and the first place it will appear is on a PC.
Besides, can you imagine trying to cram all the controls for a Vita onto one touchscreen? Yeesh....
I know this is an old thread but it has also copped a lot of wrong answers.
To all of those people saying that it's impossible and that PS1 emulators have barely been perfected and blah blah blah. I will say this now: The PS1 has a completely different architecture to any Android phone/tablet (apart from MIPS ones, which are very rare.) The Vita on the other hand has a CPU with an ARM architecture, which nearly all Android devices have, the Vita itself needs to be hacked for all of the API's and the OS to be emulated but that will probably be the hardest part (apart from emulating the Graphics chip and other complex hardware.) It should be a similar task to emulating Windows programs on Linux and Mac with Wine, or emulating different x86 OSes on x86 hardware, this is also the reason that I think iOS can be emulated but nobody wants to do it because Apple will find a reason to sue them (a reason why I have never bought an Apple product and hopefully never will.)
The message here is to be an optimist, never say impossible and good things will follow, possibly in the form of a Vita emulator on Android or an iOS emulator.
Yeah Seriously

lol 30 years, honestly you can expect an emulator within 10 years of the system release date, if we had dedicated users, I'm sure it get could quicker but it's not "impossible" as PPSSPP, a PSP emulator was recently released on the google store, which runs games PERFECTLY on PC or Mac, it's pretty laggy on my S3-i747m but what games you would expect to run nicely do, of course.
I'm sure newer phones run it smoothly but PSVita games will probably be emulated when the "hype" dies out...
So basically if your asking, can i screw mobile gaming and just buy a phone and bootleg the systems and possibly even play with friends? No.
Can you expect to relive your classics games after you've played them on a legit PSVita in 5-10 years on your Samsung S9 with 16core graphics? Yeah most likely depending on how laws go with the GNU/OSI and how pissed off company's get that they're old ass systems get emulated.
At-least that has been the trend since Atari

So I was going through my long lost collection of old Windows games and stumbled upon a copy of the original Call of Duty. For the minimum specs, any android phone could really take it ( min. 350MHz, 64MB of RAM and any GPU. So in your opinion, do you think it would be possible to convert any old games like that to Android?

CPU architecture, windows' x86 vs mobile's ARM.
I mean other gaming systems have emulators, but you wont get a windows emulator, like almost ever.
You can however, do a remote desktop sort of thing.
x86 vs ARM. Plain and simple to start with. Need we delve into the fundamentals of how different the two operating systems are and how code written for one is specific to it?

I know, that's like nothing compared to a full, developed game though
you can play some REALLY old games through dosbox, like redalert or age of empires, but thats essentially done through brute force emulation, you can also play most old point and click adventures like scummvm which is brilliant, and you MIGHT be able to play cod(if there is a psone version)through retroarch or psx4droid, but it probably wont be a great experience, if you want an fps, nova 3 and mc 4, as blatant ripoffs as they are, and s cheaply developed as they are, play pretty well, counter strike portable also works pretty well
Am i play dream league(Or another games) on Remix OS?
I played Samurai 2 vengeance. It's laggy because I don't think it's using the gpu. Just tried Shadowgun and it played but very laggy.

Most games that I tried work flawlessly. Here is the list:
1) GTA VC,SA, 3.
2) Modern Combat 5 (****ty game though, boring ass story with no fun. Inapp purchase riddled)
3) Republique (Again, a boring ass game. Graphically great, but if you buy games to just salivate at the graphics, then buy this game. Otherwise, hit your head against a wall, that is more fun than this atrocity of a game. Cant believe that veteran game devs like the devs on metal gear series, fear etc made this. Shame)
4) Asphalt 8.
5) Real Racing 3.
6) Nova 3
Almost all games played on it without a problem. Except the ones with only touch control as an option. Gamepad supported games run amazingly.
I couldn'd get Asphalt 8 to work. Maybe it's a Radeon GFX Card Problem.
Unfortunately i also can't get Dragon Souls working. Can't get past save import screen.
But i am very happy that Alto's Adventure is fully playable, even with the xbox 360 controller. It looks gorgeous on 21:9 screen.

I could not for the life of me get Real Racing 3 to recognize my xbox 1 controller at all! Is there anyone here that got the game to work with any controller? (Not a keyboard a controller)
Real Racing 3 works . Asphalt 8 works and even has keyboard support in-built. Gameloft might me money hungry whores, but they know how to make a nice racing game. That is until you realize that you are better off playing Need for Speed Ungerground 1 and 2 on an old silly PC rather than these vile in-app purchases filled atrocities .
Gaming on android really sucks. C-Ops however is one really good game. In-app purchases, yes, but no pushing. I got all the weapons for free anyways. Since my phone lags like **** on that, I played it on the remix installation and it sucks. Android x86 roms runs it just fine.
