GEMRB on Android

[Beholder]

SDL port is not tested in android 3.0. But I think, it's a not a port problem. SDL does not affect to I/O.

Uploaded screenshots of my game performance and phone info, to show proof of the huge improvement in performance on Gingerbread and a slight overclock:

Ignore the ui problems, havent bothered to fix them yet, till the game is actually playable. My earlier claim of 60fps, won't happen with the screenshot program running somehow, it's probably hogging resources in the background.

 

Also, I found that 16bit to 32bit on the phone didn't show a significant increase in graphic fidelity, however it did improve performance by 3-4fps running on 16bit instead of 32bit. 32bit is pointless anway, my particular phone, Desire Z, can't even display 32bit, as can be found on: http://pdadb.net/index.php?m=specs&id=...re_z_htc_vision - max is 24bit, which isn't supported by BG2.

 

Videos run smooth and no choppy sound, without any modification to the gemrb.cfg settings for audio, I'd make a video, but it's quite late here, so running off to bed, hope I helped! ^^

Great, I'm waiting new firmware from HTC with Gingerbread!

You may use Widescreen Mod to fix graphical artifacts on 800x480 resolution. This works perfectly with GemRB and BG2.

Maybe CyanogenMod is the saviour here and the official distribution is bad?

 

that gui glitch has been fixed post-release.

No, in this case affects Android version and CPU frequency.

Custom firmwares constructed with leaked official cores very often.

I've ran a stock rom for 2.3.3 (Gingerbread) and the performance is about the same. CPU frequency gave me a 10-20% increase in fps, running on stock, my ingame averages around 40-45, while oc'ed varies from 50-60, dependant on the action on screen!

Hi

 

I apologise for my english

 

I am trying to play Planescape on my Galaxy S.

I am not able to follow innstructions.

I dont know what to write in cfg.file.

I can play pst without puting cd or dvd in PC, it is all one huge file on my PC (i can not play on my PC incompatible with Vista x64)

I apologise becouse i know that all was explained, but trully i dont understand what i must write in cfg.

I copied contens of Torment folder to net.sourceforge.gemrb folder, overwriting or merging when ever asked.

I didnt change cfg.

When i start GemRB there is logo (of GemRB NOT pst) then black screen and then it closes.

I am actualy in proces of buying old win98 PC just to play PST but phone i woud like more.

Can please somebody write what i must write in cfg? Not explain but write so i can just copy paste, please?

 

 

Thank you in advance

Thise dosent work

Where you installed gemrb? Typically external sdcard mounted on Android devices to /sdcard, not to /mnt/sdcard. But SGS has an internal flash too, I don't know how organized storage on this device.

[Iztok67]

Thank you for replay

 

I instaled it on internal storage and path to that is /mnt/sdcard/app-data/net.sourceforge.gemrb/

I checked with EF file explorer. I tried without mnt/ and is also didnt work.

 

Have a nice day

Must i copy files IN folder (pst -> phone) or folder Torment. I copied files IN folder.

[Beholder]

Configuration file, GUIScripts and Override folders is placed in this path?

[Iztok67]

If you mean that they are there then yes. If you mean if i write in cfg then no.

I have CachePath=/Cache/.

Must i change thise?

[Iztok67]

YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

I changed cache path to /mnt/sdcard/app-data/net.sourceforge.gemrb

and it works now.

 

Thank you. I am almost crying from joy .

I was really in proces of buing old pc just for thise game.
