Android

Hello.

I'm interested to know how can I compile this for Android.

I'd like to see if it works with a gamepad. Or if it works at all.

Hi!

IMHO you can now compile for Android, but:

• current implementation uses old Desktop OpenGL 1.x, so probably you can run it on Android x86 which has Mesa drivers (or maybe on nvidia tablets?),
• you must have mouse/keyboard/gamepad connected (no virtual joystick).

TODO:

• - OpenGL|ES 2.0,
• - Virtual Joystick.

Hmm... I have an x86 ASUS ZenPad tablet, I can try it there and see if it works.
Doesn't it work on ARM phones tho?

I can also try it on Remix OS (Android for desktop PCs) just for testing purposes (not gonna play it there if I can play it on my Linux).

Also, yeah... I have a bluetooth gamepad that works fine with every game that has gamepad support. So this means it should work with NFS2 as well, right?

How can I compile this into an APK tho?

It is probably difficult. Try to learn how to compile SDL2 projects for Android.

If you have x86 CPU, use https://github.com/zaps166/NFSIISE for better performance (and faster compilation time). Use YASM on assembly file like in compile_nfs script :)

Also you must copy all needed data from CD to APK (or somewhere) and set path to it in source code + path for settings.

I've created "gles2" (work in progress) branch GLES2 code is in master branch - you can try it on Android devices :)

Also today I've run this game on old Android phone (HTC Sensation) 😄

This repository is now a submodule to the main NFSIISE repository, so closing this issue here!
