Oh *that* warning... All fairly standard stuff. You should try reading some of the Micro$oft T&C's!

Re: Jurassic 3D RollerCoaster Rush now in Ovi repos
 

I like this game. I killed EVERYONE on the third track. But brakes are for losers so what else can I do?

Re: Jurassic 3D RollerCoaster Rush now in Ovi repos
 

This is my 1st 3D game and it is FANTASTIC. Slow/lagging? Not at all, only if you touch the volume. Accelerometer is very responsive... Cant stand the background music, just me. Strongly recommend if you want to see how top notch hardware your n900 is. Installation is completely a bleeze,

Do your background work, like get root, enable extra-devels, install wget etc...

1) thread #19, MohammadAG's post, copy ALL the text in the grey rectangle, no less, no more, has to be completely exact copy.
2) open Notes, paste over there, in case you mess up, you can copy from there.
3) get online
4) xterm
5) sudo gainroot (maynot be necessary, dont know)
6) click X Terminal on the top black border, the menu, click paste, AND DONT TOUCH ANYTHING, it will automatically download, install something, till the last command, "..install njurassiclite " hit return
7) reboot (mayNOT be necessary) and now PLAY :-)

Your part: sit tight for 2 minutes and hit return on step 6). If you can handle this, you can install it.

No pics, no tales, here are the pics, see the gauge at the left lower corner, that is your accelerometer, or tilt meter, or whatever, it makes the game fun

OR and this is the BIG OR.
WAIT untill it is released in OVI store and ready for endusers who do not want to use command line to install or do not have the patients and sense to read up on the commands that they are blindly bashing into their device.
There is sufficient instructions in this thread to install this app if people just follow instructions and do a bit of reading up first. If you cannot follow these simply instructions maybe its timw you wait till its released.
Just my 2 cents

Re: Jurassic 3D RollerCoaster Rush now in Ovi repos
 

The animation is soooooooooooo real, I luv it! Then adds the 3D, OMG, this is on my tiny little n900. WE NEED MORE OF THIS, to tell the iphonyfanboys shut the ((*&*^ up. Ha!

It is really sad that Nokia did not carry thru... :( I dont get it, sale was reportedly fine in Asia... oh well, that is another sore topic

Re: Jurassic 3D RollerCoaster Rush now in Ovi repos
 

I wonder if too much tweaking has made my system slow.To me it feels like 20-25 fps at most :(

Re: Jurassic 3D RollerCoaster Rush now in Ovi repos
 

Does anyone have any idea why the performance varies so wildly from device to device? Or could it FPS is subjective?

Re: Jurassic 3D RollerCoaster Rush now in Ovi repos
 

No shame in liking pink bro

Re: Jurassic 3D RollerCoaster Rush now in Ovi repos
 

When people using fps in the evaluation, there is only 2 situations. 1) They are really confident about fps, using 29 fps as normal, and adjust in their report as 25, a little bit slow, and 20, more jiggedness, and 15 unwatchable. etc. However, fps is NOT an absolute number, it can be obsured/fake/doctor with resolution/refreshing rate/interlace or not... especially for animation, giving a range like 10 - 17 (no offense), command a large range. I would take it as slow. 2) look it up with gspot.

The bottomline, even with the N900, evaluation has to do alot with expectation... I think that is why you are seeing a wide difference of 'performance'. My 2 c

Re: Jurassic 3D RollerCoaster Rush now in Ovi repos
 

I am running at 1000mhz, titans ideal, with swappolube, runs really smooth. But I have to agree that it is somewhat pointless. Tilting to GO/STOP on a railway is as exciting railroad simulators. (On the other hand those are more exciting, because you have brake to stop to stations, and oh man that is hard) They could better release Bounce level packs, that was pretty good game demo...

Re: Jurassic 3D RollerCoaster Rush now in Ovi repos
 

After a reboot? My N900 sometimes are very sluggish and works better after reboot.

Re: Jurassic 3D RollerCoaster Rush now in Ovi repos
 

That was basically first thng what i did after reverting swap tweaks to default.

Re: Jurassic 3D RollerCoaster Rush now in Ovi repos
 

But you asked for one, and I pointed out the legalities of posting it

Re: Jurassic 3D RollerCoaster Rush now in Ovi repos
 

I just tried the game out but i don't understand why everyone is raving about how good this game is..

it's pretty boring, i mean you just make it go at full speed and there's not much else to it...

Re: Jurassic 3D RollerCoaster Rush now in Ovi repos
 

Obviously, you didn't play the bonus track which is impossible to be completed at full speed. No wonder you think it's boring.

Re: Jurassic 3D RollerCoaster Rush now in Ovi repos
 

hehe really funny game :)

Re: Jurassic 3D RollerCoaster Rush now in Ovi repos
 

what's the bonus track? did you purchase the full game? all i see is 2 levels..

Re: Jurassic 3D RollerCoaster Rush now in Ovi repos
 

"Play->Career" will eventually give you three tracks. Make sure you play them all in both "track" and "race" modes to get the stars then you should see a bonus track unlocked in "Play->Bonus Track."

Re: Jurassic 3D RollerCoaster Rush now in Ovi repos
 

Mine works very good...Thanks MohammadAG..!!!

Re: Jurassic 3D RollerCoaster Rush now in Ovi repos
 

yehhhh love it thank you soooo much geat work

Re: Jurassic 3D RollerCoaster Rush now in Ovi repos
 

@MohammadAG,
can you some how get the file installer.deb of Panorama from Nokia repository? I would like to keep it as offline installer :D

Re: Jurassic 3D RollerCoaster Rush now in Ovi repos
 

Yeah I agree. You make some good points. I guess I should sell it quick then before its not worth much! To be honest the flash thing is the only main difference and the multitasking but I barely use the web on the handset. Its like everytime I do decide to use it when im out its slow sluggish n sometimes a new flash page wont open up coz it needs the update etc and the whole zoom in an out thing gets irritating. I suppose if your out a lot and are a blogger then the n900 is of value.
I need to have a good think about it I guess.

It's not smooth as this one on the video at least not on mine device :-(

Re: Jurassic 3D RollerCoaster Rush now in Ovi repos
 

same problem here. Even when over-clocked game doesn´t run that smoothly. I wonder why.

.edit
I´m just Lolling to "Soon" marketing speech :) I bet that even Nokia (maemo&meego) employees are pretty fed up with Ovi sitsuation and they probably can´t do nothing to it.

Re: Jurassic 3D RollerCoaster Rush demo in Ovi repos
 

not a bad game but not sure if it was worth the wait tbh

Re: Jurassic 3D RollerCoaster Rush now in Ovi repos
 

Just install it with apt-get, then you'll find in in your apt cache (/var/cache/apt/archives)

Since it is no doubt copyrighted to Nokia, it would be illegal (in most jurisdictions) for anyone to redistribute it without permission.

Re: Jurassic 3D RollerCoaster Rush demo in Ovi repos
 

MohammadAG, Many thanks for the alternate download solution, works just fine. I'm a bit curious though what it did to my apt, did I get a different version and should I revert somehow to the previous one after installation?

Re: Jurassic 3D RollerCoaster Rush now in Ovi repos
 

But I guess we're back to the same thing again.We can't just keep considering the N900 just as a regular smartphone like the iPhone, Androids or N8. If you expect a regular smartphone I do agree, that the iPhone is probably the better choice (or N8, I've played around with my wifes N8 this week and it is just fantastic when connecting BT mouse, BT keyboard, a harddrive and an HDMI screen using it as a regular computer or 720p HD mediaplayer).

Personally though, even if I completely agree that all this sloppy work from the Nokia side (the Ovi store, the late or never implemented features etc.) I would still never trade my N900 with the iPhone nor the Android ones.
The reason is that I'm a probably that completely different user that the N900 targets. It is a REAL linux device, not only the core is built upon it but everything, even the tool chain. I have complete X11 support (even for forwarding over ssh), a REAL ssh client (and server), I don't have to rely on some proprietary java to port regular linux applications. There are also some fantastic applications there that I just love with the N900, "Knots", "MediaBox", "Wizard Mounter", "Mobile Hotspot" and all the retro emulators. Some of these things you can just forget about in that shiny-design-iPhone and some of them as well in those wetty-pant Android phones.

Everyone that nags about nokia should go Android etc., I wonder what they say one day when all mobile operating systems look the same, work the same and are governed by the very same dull company. That's when that chilly breeze starts to appear inside your pants. Even if the N900 hardware specs cannot keep up with the devices coming up, it still has the same value to me as when I bought it.

BTW, the physical keyboard is another good argument for the N900. Those virtual ones are just silly. They obscure the things you want to see on the screen.

Re: Jurassic 3D RollerCoaster Rush demo in Ovi repos
 

Just installed.
A few hickups here and there but running just fine @ 900MHz

Re: Jurassic 3D RollerCoaster Rush demo in Ovi repos
 

I showed this game to my nephew and he whoops out his iPod Touch, and says, "Oh yeah, that game's cool! I've had it for months now!" Then he opens it up (iTouch load time <10 seconds vs N900 load time >Pizza Delivery) and I was left struggling to explain the advantages of a rooted device to a 10-year-old.

ey guys take a look at this one, i wish our n900 version was smooth as this one :(

Re: Jurassic 3D RollerCoaster Rush demo in Ovi repos
 

My N900 is not over-clocked, and I have installed this game. The game runs fine and it is actuallt quiet smooth..

Re: Jurassic 3D RollerCoaster Rush demo in Ovi repos
 

It runs. Period. for to say it runs well would be a lie. it takes ages to start up, the pizza comment earlier really is no exaggeration. once started the sound stutters and there´s lots of frameskipping. Apparently you´re not supposed to consume this digital chocolate by taking a bite, but by letting it melt slowly on your tongue.

Final verdict: unplayable...

Re: Jurassic 3D RollerCoaster Rush demo in Ovi repos
 

Exactly!!!

Re: Jurassic 3D RollerCoaster Rush demo in Ovi repos
 

Works rather fine for me, although I have overclocked my phone to 950mhz.

Re: Jurassic 3D RollerCoaster Rush demo in Ovi repos
 

how do u overclocked it?

Re: Jurassic 3D RollerCoaster Rush demo in Ovi repos
 

See my sig for more info.

btw, I have mine at 1Ghz and this game is still VERY choppy. It runs like at 10fps. Quite unplayable really.

Re: Jurassic 3D RollerCoaster Rush demo in Ovi repos
 

Mine played so smooth that there is NO difference than watching video on player. 250 - 850, miky mouse OC?

bun

Re: Jurassic 3D RollerCoaster Rush demo in Ovi repos
 

So. Let me pop the question than: Is there anything that can be done, apart from closing other progs, to improve the performance of this game?
