Re: The 'Playable Games on the EEE' Thread

Call of Duty 1 runs under windows without a swap file and only 512Mb of RAM. Its a little jerky but I don't have the settings turned down. I've had to use a custom config to get the screen res set at 800 x 480.


One EEE + three OS's (Xandros, Ubuntu and XP) = A whole lot of fun.

Re: The 'Playable Games on the EEE' Thread

Ok, I have a question.

For all the flash games that work, if possible, can I save Flash games to my SD Card and launch them without an internet connection?

Re: The 'Playable Games on the EEE' Thread

I would want to try Fable, the lost chapters... minimum requirement is

processor speed of 1.4 gigahertz (GHz) or higher, at least 256 megabytes (MB) of RAM, and a 64 MB video card with Shader 1.1 support

but with the optimisation of the recent celeron... maybe it will be equivalent...

and with all the setting down and a resolution of 720/480... there is even a widescreen option!

Yes it runs great at maximum settings (I'm running winXP and have 1 gb of ram). You have to change the cfg file to run at 800x480. it looks like all Quake 3 based games run well with it. I also installed American Mcgee's Alice.


900HA, 2gb G.Skill ram, 64gb G.Skill FM SSD, and Vista Ultimate -> loving it!

Would be great if any of the Civ games worked on this. That will see time fly by when on a flight.

Re: The 'Playable Games on the EEE' Thread

For gaming, I think getting Xp to run on the eee would be best ^_^
but uh... is XP "stable" on the eee? or should i wait for an offical xp release? big_smile

ZSNES works perfectly on kde from what I've read....
What im going to try to do is to run epsxe with the FF7 ISOs (both from USB)... reckon the eee can handle it?

Re: The 'Playable Games on the EEE' Thread

Unreal Tournament 2004 is not playable, under Xandros. Even 640x480 software mode runs at 10-17FPS in menu, and 8 FPS in game.

If I can get the EEE to boot from external HD, I'll try under another Linux and maybe XP.

Re: The 'Playable Games on the EEE' Thread

Trying some more recent stuff, Introversion's DEFCON works beautifully in the correct resolution. I can't get Uplink working though. Haven't tried Darwinia.

Moonbase Commander also works perfectly in 640x480.

All tested on XP Fundamentals. 1Gb RAM.

I haven't tested this, since I don't own an e3 yet, but I can almost guarantee MapleStory will run on it because of its 2D nature.

Maple doesn't work in Linux because of GameGuard. I haven't installed XP on my eee yet but I don't know if it'll work at all because Maple has a native resolution of 800x600 (that can't be adjusted) and the eee doesn't seem to support it.

Here's one:

Max Payne 2

Works perfectly if you run most of the settings on 'low'. Great game and really good fun on the EEE.

Re: The 'Playable Games on the EEE' Thread

Of late I've been playing simcity 2000 (dos version) in dosemu.  Note that dosemu is different than dosbox.  It's much faster but linux only. 

In simcity 2k, the sound effects work but I haven't been able to get the music to play. 

On ioquake3, I get 25-30fps running at 800x640 (custom resolution).  Normally its fine though it'll slow down in a massive firefight.  Turning down the effects/turning off blood, etc help.  Also, if you're going to play the computer, make another machine the server.  The bots AI slows down the machine.  So basically its a fine quake3 client machine but I wouldn't use it as client + server.
