Sure, it's like 5FPS, but whatever. We'll get there.

Slightly less useless than I thought. Cool beans, will have to see how the 3D acceleration speeds it up, I suspect that it won't be much, as Q3 is historically processor heavy.

The real time sink is the heavy use of floating point everywhere. PXA26x doesn't really do the floating point thing. And porting all of Q3 over to fixed point... well... we'll see :)

Sounds about right. My copy was 130MB.

My development device has 128, and I've heard reports that the program uses more memory than it should. Try cutting it down by modifying com_hunkMegs and com_zoneMegs in the q3config.cfg file. If you have any luck, let me know what the numbers were that worked.

The Dell handhelds (axim and friends) use an Intel 2700g not and Imageon. And I am specifically targeting this handheld for the next release of the game so you won't be stuck out in the woods for long!

their different? dam. are they compatible though? like will they both take Open Gl 1.5 commands? I hope they are though. Will make it easier for developers like yourself.
