[HELP] Q3 Arena

[ONDR4SH3K]

Hi developers,

In Dynamics ROM v1.21 is app call XAP Deployer and this app can launch .EXE file from WIN CE.

I test Quake 3 Arena, but problem is with Memory. Screenshot below.

Source code - https://code.google.com/p/q3ce/source/browse/

I didn't realize this was even possible... can you really run windows CE/Mobile apps in WP7 with XAP deployer?

FYI though - that app required a RIDICULOUS amount of memory on windows mobile. it generally produced sub-par framerates, but with newer graphics acceleration in wp7 devices, it *COULD* actually be viable. I would think 512 mb of ram is enough - but in wp7 I believe there's a hard-cap as to how much ram one app can use at once. (quake 3 would definitely run above that cap)

XAP deployer really run WIN CE/Mobile apps. I tested Opera Mobile by Ultrashot and works.

I think, the problem is in the app. App hasn't access to memory and doesn't know, how much free memory I have. This access can be allowed with Heathcliff74 WP Root Tools. But I don't know, how compile source code with Root Tools.

And this version Quake running on HTC Touch Diamond (528MHz, 192MB RAM) and 1st Gen. WP device have min. (1GHz, 512MB RAM)

I'd love to see this actually running on my phone - does it work with 2nd gen devices? or just 1st gen?

There's a whole bunch of Windows Mobile apps I'd like to put on my Lumia (worms world party!!!!)

If quake could take advantage of the Adreno 200 in your device, you'd have a very smooth frame rate - anyone know if that's possible? Unfortunately, I know nothing about WP Root Tools - hopefully there's a way to lift the RAM limit

If you want Worms World Party, you must wait for Cotulla WML project. It's project about Windows Mobile Launcher on Windows Phone - video preview http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1FNls9Hi6TQ

And XAP deployer is app for native running app from Win CE/Mobile and yes, works with 2nd gen. devices - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1637222 and you need Full Unlocked Device.

Have you tried anything else besides Quake? Just wondering if smaller apps/games might work.

The application must not exceed 90 MB of RAM usage. However, on devices that have more than 256 MB of memory, an application can exceed 90 MB of RAM usage. The DeviceExtendedProperties class can be used to query the amount of memory on the device and modify the application behavior at runtime to take advantage of additional memory. For more information, see the DeviceExtendedProperties class in MSDN.

Re: What's the typical download size and memory usage for casual WP7 games? Answer Reply Quote
The only limits you have to concern yourself with are those prescribed in the Application Certification Requirements:
20MB maximum XAP size if you want the player to be able to download your game from anywhere (called OTA for Over The Air). Any larger than this and the player will have to download the app via Zune on their PC.
90MB peak application memory use for devices with 256MB RAM.

XAP deployer doesn't run wince EXEs. It does as the title says, installs xaps to the phone from the phone, taking out the middle man(the computer). The function of running native exes is provisioned by the custom ROM that you have the phone.

He did say he tried opera mobile with it - but it looks like it was adapted by ultrashot to run as an XAP?
