(Semi OT) portable SEIV

[boran_blok]

Be aware that SEIV will not run on that palm eh, it uses a different architecture, to run it you need a PC or laptop.
So imho going with an old ultraportable will do fine.
(the ones without CD drive etc, an old PII 300 or something in that neighberhood will do just fine, and wont cost all that much)

Ouch.. 300MHz will hurt unless you only plan on playing multiplayer turns and not processing or playing single player.

I used to play SEIV on a 233 MHz machine until about a year ago. When playing against 19 A.I.'s in a 255-system quadrant, the A.I.'s turns took a really long time, over 10 minutes. I used to eat meals, brush my teeth, clean the house, take showers, all sorts of stuff while the A.I.'s turns were done.

I now have an 800MHz computer so I usually just stare at the screen while the A.I.'s turns are processed.

Some time ago i tried to run SEIV in my Nokia 9210i cellphone, using an XT emulator and installing a reduced Version of Win95, but i stopped when i run out of space on the cellphone (32mb bult-in + 64mb memory card) and i still don´t know if it would work.... maybe i when i buy a bigger memory card i´ll try again, but i think i´ll wait for the next generation of the nokia 9xxx to arrive in Brazil (9500 if i read correctly) to buy it and try again...

Anyway, i was able to run a (reduced) Version of Win95 in the Cellphone, but it as extremely slow, and i wasn´t able to run the mouse...

Cell phones can run win95 now?!?!

From coolsig.com - 'Imagine what cell phones would look like if our mouths were nowhere near our ears.' - Think about it.

For a lot of people, that isn't very far from the truth...
