Hmm is it possilbe to port the old NeverWinter Knights to the N900?
Yesterday evening I looked on the NWN Box and checked the Hardware requirements. I would say it must be possilbe to play on N900.

It must be only ported to the maemo5 OS. I think.

Things like NWN or BGE are extremely unlikely. There is very litte precedent of commercial game companies going back and porting their old releases on mobile phones (if you have examples of that happening, do tell). With someone like LGP, odds are slightly better but most likely ports are going to be things that are open source and not 3d accelerated. The open source part is extremely important and porting to the n900's variety of opengl is apparently not trivial.

Dungeon Kepper on the N900

Is there any chance someone would be able to port this game? I used to love playing it as a kid. I know they've already ported Theme Hospital which is made by the same people.

Dungeon Keeper was an awesome game. Would be great if someone could get it to work.

It might work in Dosbox.

Anybody tried Theme Hospital with dosbox or a psx emulator? ^^

Yes, that's a great idea especially because it wasn't an "action oriented" game, rather it was lots of God-like management with clicks, it would be perfect for the touchscreen, and the graphics were always a joy to watch!

Why don't you add it into the "PC game ports" thread here?

I got theme hospital working using a port of corsixTH, not sure about dosbox or psx though.

My question is:
