I admit the idea of playing DF on a PPC is very attractive. A laptop is good, but playing DF anywhere, well, that's a whole different kettle of fish.

Reading this thread, I suddenly had a vision of someone installing virtualbox on their windows mobile phone and then trying to play DF inside a windows XP virtual machine. :D
Do they make virtual machines that run on mobile devices? Because I've been thinking about that new android phone...

'That andoird phone' Has a powerful enough processor to run a 50 dwarf fort locally.

I checked its specs.

Well, someone did create a applet to let the iPhone function as a front-end display+interface for DF, streamed over the internet.

Christ, are you dwarves or are you elves? If you think Hell has too many demons, then you kill them till the population reaches an acceptable number.

That would work, would be as slow as a snail over 3g though. Unless they did some magic with the view system.

Actually thinking about it as we have a open source drawing bit with the new 40d# versions maybe there is a possibility to stream the grid and only do the display at the iPhone side. Would need some magic with regards to the resolution though.
