Savanna Posted September 27, 2010 Report Share Posted September 27, 2010 Saw this on a thread: trust me... enb runs on iphone and now droid and ipad (kindle and nook coming soon™) and if the only way you can get enb to run is by turning those things off... there is like a 99.9% chance the problem is you and not the game... I'm probably missing the joke or something, or reading out of context? I'm blonde, so please don't be too hard. =) It runs on iPad? How? Cuz..that would be freaking awesome. =) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cuz..that would be freaking awesome. =) You'd probably have to perform the equivalent of a jailbreak on it and void the warranty so you could run a windows emulator. The game client was written for PC. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cuz..that would be freaking awesome. =) sorry that was me... and I was kinda kidding being sarcastic... when people bitch about their system, I remind them that from a processor memory perspective that things like cell phones have more processing power, memory, storage, and video than the average pc used when enb was live the on the box specs call for something like 500mhz proc with 128mb ram and 32mb of video ram... if u c what I mean... as for ipad if you wanted to void your warranty you could run it... but only plugged in... enb would crush your battery...

Savanna Posted September 27, 2010 Author Report Share Posted September 27, 2010 Yea, it was you! =) And yea I totally know what you mean. I got the part about voiding the warranty to run it on an iPad, which of course went in one ear and out the other....that would still be so cool. =) But even with a jailbroken iPad, how would it be done? I mean, as far as I know, even JB iPads still use apps. And it's not an app. At least, not yet. Would be awesome tho. =) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Having not owned a mac or apple since the IIe I have no idea about the name of an application, but I know they are out there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
r8rsfans75 Posted September 27, 2010 Report Share Posted September 27, 2010 If this game ever gets working on the droid, I might as well just quit my job now, because I will never get anything done at work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mimir[IS] Posted September 27, 2010 Report Share Posted September 27, 2010 I think CDel said something about playing on his iPod as well. Thinking he may be running VNC? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lannister Posted September 27, 2010 Report Share Posted September 27, 2010 I tried it with VNC for Ipad and the updates just are not fast enough the display never erally updates completly. That leaves out the entire controlls issue - we are just not ready for touch screen E&B. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C Del[IS] Posted September 27, 2010 Report Share Posted September 27, 2010 I think CDel said something about playing on his iPod as well. Thinking he may be running VNC? He most certainly did not! I might have been talking about using my iPhone as the internet connection (over tethering). That sounds like something I would do. I haven't heard of any way to emulate windows on an iOS device, although I wouldn't be surprised if someone is working on one somewhere.

C Del[IS] Posted September 28, 2010 Report Share Posted September 28, 2010 jailbreak doesnt void the warranty I think it does. Also, iOS updates periodically brick jail-broken devices. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Savanna Posted September 28, 2010 Author Report Share Posted September 28, 2010 jailbreak doesnt void the warranty It does void the warranty. What you must be thinking of is the ruling recently that jailbreaking is not illegal. That is true. But it does void your warranty. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
karu [WDL] Posted September 28, 2010 Report Share Posted September 28, 2010 You'd have to find an Apple App that lets you emulate the windows environment. Having not owned a mac or apple since the IIe I have no idea about the name of an application, but I know they are out there. whats out there is Wine/Cedega app for Intel Mac's. iPad/iPhone are using ARM processor so one would first need intel-arm emulator. Easyer to write new client tbh. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ccfreak2k Posted September 28, 2010 Report Share Posted September 28, 2010 whats out there is Wine/Cedega app for Intel Mac's. iPad/iPhone are using ARM processor so one would first need intel-arm emulator. Easyer to write new client tbh. You'd need an x86 emulator ported to ARM, as pointed out. Then the iPad would need enough CPU speed (1Ghz ARM? -maybe- it'll work) and RAM (256MB? Possible). Making it playable would also involve getting the GPU calls mapped to the iPad's GPU, which means the emulator would have to be specialized. It -might- be possible, but it would be a lot of work, and it would probably involve piggy-backing on a project to port some other more popular program. New client is also more feasible, as we already know how the client works anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sig Posted September 28, 2010 Report Share Posted September 28, 2010 (edited) maybe they changed it as far as bricking but you can jailbreak you device then if u need the warranty all you have to do is do a default restore through itunes. they cannot tell if it was jailbroken or not. ive done it because of a faulty batt and gotten a new phone but i have an iphone 3gs so things might be diff now but last i read it's not. anyways back to the main topic.

Falstar [MOD] Posted October 7, 2010 Report Share Posted October 7, 2010 That leaves out the entire controlls issue - we are just not ready for touch screen E&B. On the old forums someone posted a video demonstrating their new screen which used touch commands. It seemed perfectly playable, so as far as touch commands for a PC screen or Ipad I don't see a problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
