TMW on ipod touch

[baseballboy]

can you play tmw on an Ipod touch?

Very unlikely.

As far as I know Apple handheld devices can only run software written in Objective-C. The Mana Client is written in C++.

And even when it would be possible: We would never pay Apple the fee to distribute our application through their app store which is the only way for users to install software on their devices. Not because we can't afford the money but because the disgusting way Apple domineers its users through its app store is against the free software philosophy.

Alright, thanks

actually, you can execute custom code on a jailbroken ipod, just have some "unaffiliated" coder port it over for you, keeping the officials dev out of trouble. the same applies for a psp version of tmw.

It's my understanding someone already found a way to do TMW on iPod Touch but you have to jailbreak your iPod, which can screw it royally if you don't know what you're doing.

However, I totally agree with our illustrious developer and I personally don't like Apple's strong arm tactics regarding apps on their devices. It reeks of monopolistic practices to me.

you can play tmw on virtually anything with internet a screen and efficient buttons. Oh and the know how for coding the new client you will need to allow yourself all the ability of normal game play. I think some of the newer phones can support windows applications as well.

This is not an option we should consider. We might dislike Apples business tactics, but we have no right to circumvent it either. People know what they agree to when buying an Apple device.

Interesting. Do you have a source for this?

The sad part is... this is not true... I am willing to bet that 90% of Apple users (in the US) have no clue about how Apple's biz is actually hurting them and in the long run... making them corporate dependent. I actually kinda liked the iPhone until I read about its application approval/signing process.

More reason to get a Android phone

I messed a bit with PSP TMW port, but all I've got was just some errors and crashes.
Main problem with programming for PSP is missing API documentation.

I want to play tmw with my NDS

In that case take out some +s and sure thing!

might i recommend the forums over at qj.net? there are some really skilled psp and ipod devs over there, although it's more of a psp coder hangout.

I messed with a psp port too for a while but never came up with anything useful... might try an ipod port now that my wife got me one for christmas It's true that the iphone SDK uses objective-c but you can just wrap it around c or c++ code.

Started working on a PSP port again recently... all these library dependencies are killin me though too much porting!
And since PSP statically links libraries into the binary, it's huge! (before stripped)
