Duke Nukem 3D for Handspans
No, you have not read badly. Taking advantage of to the maximum the power a Palm, 3D can be gotten to execute in her Duke Nukem, the game of action in first person who all those that was in favor of the world of the computers in year 1996 will know. For that it is not the case, he will be enough to say that he was one of the first games in recreating the three dimensions (although already Doom existed and still before Wolfenstein 3D, to mention some), although only partially, since the personages, enemies and objects, continued being sprites 2D.
Duke Nukem 3D was all a revolution at its time
Duke Nukem 3D uses an own graphical motor, created by Ken Silverman for the company 3D Realms, call build. The source code of build was released the 20 of June of 2000, and from him, many have been created ports that allow to natively play the Duke Nukem 3D in Linux, or to improve the graphical quality and of sound, being taken advantage of the present equipment. One of these ports is the created one by JonoF, that takes advantage of the accelerating graphical cards that support OpenGL. And indeed in this page, we can find a video where 3D for Handspans can be seen working port of Duke Nukem, of which I am going to speak next. Jono was so amiable to raise the video YouTube, so that it could include it in post.

This it is an example of the advantages of free software: from port that Jono did of the original one, and when being its code also available freely, Henk Jonas modified it to create this port of Duke Nukem 3D for Handspans. The installation is simple:
- We unloaded this file, and we decompressed it. In him there are two archives: duke3d.prc, is the feasible one, and it settles normally, in ram of the Palm or, if we want to save space, in the folder to /Palm/Launcher of card SD.
- The other file is duke3d.zdk, and to install we will need it to accede to card SD. We go to /Palm/Programs and we created a new called directory Duke3D. In him we copied this one file, so that it stays as /Palm/Programs/Duke3D/duke3d.zdk.
- Now we needed to copy the data files of an installation of Duke Nukem 3D for PC. We only needed the archives con, rts and grp. We copied them to the same Duke3D folder of the SD, where we copied the other file before.
- In addition to the original game, also we can do the same with expansions, or additional maps.
- Unfortunately, this program requires more ram memory than the 2 or 4Mb of heap that usually brings the Palm. For that reason, it will be essential to use program UDMH of Dimitry, that simulates more memory for the programs, reconverting storage memory. Altogether they are necessary 7Mb of heap, so those that lack, are those that we will have to leave free so that UDMH can assign them.
Port allows to change the resolution, to take advantage of the acceleration hardware the Zodiac, has support for sound and music (this last one installing timidity), support for tricks (the console is opened pressing the center of the screen), possibility of controlling the Vista with stylus, support for the keyboard in the Treo, and until multiplayer game through bluetooth!
Duke Nukem 3D running in my tungsten E2
I have proven to play in my E2 and, although it is not the Palm with the most powerful processor, the game moved at an ideal speed to play, reason why not even it was necessary to do overclocking. 3D is really surprising to see a game like Duke Nukem working in a Palm, but it is it still more to see how it is possible perfectly to be controlled with the bellboys and pad directional. It is more, we will be able to assign other actions like moving by the inventory, seeing map or to open doors, to certain zones of the screen, with which the possibilities increase much.
Assigning actions to zones of the screen
Really, everything an example of which the hardware of a Palm can do more than what it seems. And Duke Nukem 3D is not the only game of its style that we can prove, but that we will see it throughout the next days.

Simply phenomenal!
Excellent, although it is not my favourite game; in individual I prefer the Doom, and I have it but never I managed to make it run in my TE/2, me receteaba palm and better I decided to desinstalar it. Perhaps I do not know needed some archives as in this case, hopefully that Marks have opportunity to give a chair us in that respect.
@David: I believe that today you are going to have more luck
Excellent blog. I have not proven ningun game todavia, but it was in my plans, after proving other small things but for palm. The unico that needed was to read something like this to know that if is going to work in my T|E2.
The one of timidity called the attention to me. Where I can obtain a version for Palm OS 5? I looked for in its pagina but not encontre nothing.
Thanks.
Hello Jose. In the page which I gave in post, directly you can give to the button download, and is already the most recent version, for Handspans 5.
Hello Marks!
I have not been able to find download of timidity for palm OS 5. Ayudame please! siii? xD
PS: Exists algun program like the UDMH, but that is gratuitous?
Yoyofr, the original author of these programs, explains how to install Timidity in its Web. I have still not proven it, because I fear that too much ram eats.
With respect to a gratuitous UDMH, already it would love I to know some
Dimitry has made programs, and nothing
impressive expensive, so I think that she is worth the trouble to buy
them.
Hello, I was reading the tutorial, I have installed all so caul and 272/248″ gives to a memory error “free me;, and that that I did hard to him reset to palm (E2) and corri duke3d single, that is to say, only that game was installed (from the SD I executed it). But good, there is no case.
The question is: DUKE NUKEM 3D FOR PALM, RUNS IN A TUNGSTEN E2?
Somebody that can give a hand me. I am going away it to be thankful, porke enchants east game to me.
Thanks.

HE ALREADY IS! I DID NOT SAY ANYTHING, WALKED To ME BAD The UDMH, The READY REINSTALE And! THANKS =, GREETINGS To ALL, BYE
then really it parese to me excellent but as to play it in my they tungsten T1 does not say q to me I have q to put the other file in palm/programs/duke3d and that is my problem in where this that? if alguin can help agradeceria much me
That route talks about the memory card SD, if it is that you use one.
I have installed it in my TX and it does not work nor with the UDMH. Of gives to error “Out me memory loading PNO”, “259″. Somebody has some idea?
I already installed it in my YOU and works bien… very;. It is not necessary to have a very powerful Palm to enjoy this game.
Hello, it wanted to know well as I can do to him so that the game runs in my tungsten e2, since segui your indications, and asi even says me that there is an error in the memory and not that so many errors, wanted to know how if podrias to me to esvribir to my mail and power to say to me as I can do to him so that ok. runs good I hope that somebody can say to me as it I can run thanks.
If it gives errors you when starting, continues doing tap with stylus in the screen so that they are happening. In the end surely the equal program is executed.
If it does not work, you can cause that there is more memory available installing UDMH.
like with himself having the complete version since it says to me that demo is slo and it lets to me play slo meltdown q is the first world
I have pack of 3 cds that nuke 1.2 brings and 3d. In the third CD dende this duke nuke 3D encontre the archives rts and of con I do not have with equal names in flile pack 14 and 13, asique copies the folders talcual estan in the CD but the screen remains in black.
I already did andar… and he walks perfect but I cannot leave game without resetear. as he is the commando from console to leave the game or to enter menu?
In the configuration of the program (before beginning to play) to the controls to the different bellboys from the PDA and zones of the touch screen can be assigned. One of those controls is the one of the menu, if bad nonmemory.

porfa can say siel umdh to me ruins tungsten E2 sincerely little gives me or of fear to use it porfavor avisenme with urgency
one but
he ruins it? good if I saw the photo in where runs the Duken ukem with umdh I suppose that not or if?
The UMDH does not give problems if you always use the last version.
as I form umdh in my they tungsten E2? I take whatever not trying itself, but the truth not like forming it, I perhaps need others progrmas but? please respondanme I need his ayuda……
I need the configuration the UNDH for ljp, so that until now jeugo of super nes does not run ningun to me
Question as use UDMH PORFAVOR I want to play the LJP looks for in the Web but no it gives an accurate answer me, for that reason I prefer to have you qeu you know muhco of the subject, a greeting I wait for its answer but the before possible thing
Alvaro, you only must install the UMDH.prc file more in your Palm like any other program. Reset will request to you to make a soft and then it will begin to work automatically.
I did this but pitifully, the LJP with games does not run of supernintendo, tries with the mario kart that occupies very little space and nothing, despues I tested with a game but pesadito qeu is the mario to allstar and nothing throws a screen to me in which little it is possible to be understood what says and kb requests a 65467 memory to me of or something asi and does not run the game, soon I went to the options that has the UDMH añadi to the 15000 application ljp and I gave kb of Heap entr him comiles and nothing, to have if you can help me, is worth

I have that same problem, somebody knows like soloucionar it?
Mb increases the memory to him in the 20 UMDH to and it does not run either follows with the error of the PNO, and it clears the sound and the musica to him, but I do not solve the problem.
Saludos…
Sight q is rare the problem in a TX deberia to run without problems, fijate if your internal memory this flood, despues does not install the UDMH like any program and READY, they ten encuenta that you must have memopria sufficient like so that the game runs, now another problem is that you did not put the archives indicated of DUKE NUKEM 3D, and if nonobvious that it is not going to you to run, I even tested with the Duke Nukem Atomic Edition and creeme runs without problems in a Tungsten E2, until the tricks serve, I even can say that it is not hung as ugly as in the PC, luck and fijate if you did all steps correctly and if they do not work, sold one to you tx trout
jejeje a greeting bye
whichever memory recommends to have in the internal memory?
at this moment I have 21 MB.
salu2…
The space which you have in memory is ideal, taking into account that the memory of tx is of 128 Mb. if but I am not mistaken. I forget a small detail to me, many applications occupy ram, although they do not esten working, the best thing for this is to make a soft reset, and soon they recien to play the Duke nukem, because but, by but which you have activated the UDMH, it is not going to work, remembers: before ponerte to play duke you do a soft reset, soon sees udmh and activalo and recien you go away to the game of duke nukem, you would apareceran many things to you your single one I gave if to everything, it is going to you to request timidity you do not throw importance and sides to him that you can juegar taste yet, if it does not take with these recommendations formatea your TX and returns to install the applications and deberia to work, but is asi… PODRAS NOT TO PLAY jejejeje, a greeting
