What steps would be required to port this across? Cheers, Robbie.

I've played it on a linux ipaq by forwarding an X session from another computer (the ipaq was acting as a dumb input-output terminal, the desktop was running the actual program).  I ran into hardware issues when trying to run a native uqm binary: http://uqm.stack.nl/cgi-bin/yabb/YaBB.pl?board=Techissues;action=display;num=1063303287 Logged robbie Guest Re: Can this run on a Pocket PC?? « Reply #2 on: June 25, 2004, 11:17:39 pm » Many thanks! I will try using the ipaq as an i/o terminal also. I have everything running fine on xp, but I love a new challenge. Like a moth to a flame!

I'd suggest signing up to some of their mailing lists and asking about the process & what devices are supported before doing anything else though. For pocketpc:  I don't know if you can do that.  Is there a rdesktop or terminal services client for ppc?  That might work if so.
