Yes it's possible, would need to ask dev if he wouldn't mind first.

Great stuff, cheers Gez , the contacts you gave are very useful. I'll let you guys know if I start this and get anywhere.

Hi, OK I might look at getting GZDoom on the App Store. Finally got OSX running on my PC. Someone pointed out this on the store: https://itunes.apple.com/gb/app/beben-iii/id771105890?mt=8 Allows you to add the Quake 3 PAK files, comes with Open Arena. I will need to include a working game for it to be approved, and it will have the option of adding you own WAD/PK3 files. I can include FreeDoom, but there are already ports of this on the App Store, are there any other good TCs I can use with permissive license? Obviously must not requires any official Doom wad to run.

Yes indeed as Edward850 says D-Touch is not an emulator. In terms on control I think D-Touch is as good or better than the IOS version, certainly much more configurable. BTW here is the source code if anyone is interested: https://github.com/emileb/OpenGames This is the touch screen library which is portable: https://github.com/emileb/MobileTouchControls I *might* port to IOS, I got another game working on IOS but I was using VMWare to run MacOS and using old ipod touch, not an ideal development experience :) Realistically to develop for IOS you need a decent Mac, and iPhone6 and probably an iPhone5/4. Here are some of my devices I needed to use when I porting these games to Android: http://beloko.com/?page=hardware I spent so much $$ on damn hardware, mostly getting dusty on shelves now :(

Possibly it needs the Amazon app, I know Amazon does something to app, I think it adds some statistic logging so it may need it. No but I will add a widget system which will automatically load a wad/mod (When I get some time!)

Oh wait there are 2 Amazon apps, are you using the specific App Store one? https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/mas/get/android/ref=mas_sms_dl?appName=appstore Yeah Google banned this Amazon app (surprise) because it downloads other Amazon apps.

Not heard of that before, where does it say that, in the Amazon app?

Sometimes it takes a while for Amazon to update the app. What country are you? You tried searching for "D-Touch" in the amazon app?

Yes, download now so you own it as this is the one I will keep up to date!

Hi, OK now on Amazon, search for "D-touch", currently free. Please leave a nice review on the Amazon store if you download it :) I spent a while sorting out the project files, upgrading to Android Studio etc. Source code here (It's 3 projects, MobileTouchControls, TouchControls, OpenGames) https://github.com/emileb Enjoy!

Hi guys, Actually there was no issue with D-Touch, the reason it's missing is because the whole Google Play account was removed. This was because Google did not like the icons of Strife, JK2 and JK3. Note there was NO complaint from anyone external, Google is just being extremely paranoid. Also if they had warned me they did not icons that would have been fine, I would have changed them immediately. There have been many other instances of this occurring, so much that petitions have been setup: https://www.change.org/p/google-inc-provide-android-developers-with-one-on-one-communication-to-help-identify-and-resolve-policy-violations-prior-to-automated-and-irreversible-suspensions and https://www.change.org/p/sergey-brin-respect-the-efforts-of-small-and-indie-android-developers

Hi, Just to let you know I will be releasing my port of the latest Prboom+ to Android very soon! See a quick demo here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GQa0mMiOAdg&feature=youtu.be Has all the features of Prboom+. You can select the OpenGL renderer OR the Software renderer. I will be charging a small amount for the port in order to keep it fully maintained and supported like I do with Quake. See my Quake ports for example of quality: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.beloko.quaketouch&hl=en https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.beloko.quake2touch Cheers! Beloko.

Yeah I have heard that tablet works with the ports. However I'm not sure how great the gamepad sticks are? I know it's more expensive, but if you want hardware controls the Nvidia Shield Portable is a great device, very nice controls and very powerful. I probably is possible to port, I've not had a good look at the code however. FMOD is not a problem on Android. The only other possible issue I can see is some assembly code (not sure if it's used). The main stumbling block is usually simply the time and effort it takes to port, and making it playable. I may ask them if they would mind if I added it to D-Touch - after I get a new job and I can risk spending time on it :)

The only work around I know is for devices with root, apparently you can access the mouse data directly on some ROMs, but you need root, and it's not guaranteed to work

Next version has working fluidsynth for gzdoom and prboom, sounds nice but needs a reasonably powerful device. Will this be OK?

I would like to app mouse support for sure, the problem is Google has made a really weak mouse API on Android. I can only get absolute mouse position and no relative motion data, so when you get to the edge of the screen no more data! This makes it impossible to use for any FPS games

I'm the dev of D-Touch (Doom touch), what happens if you search for 'Doom' on Google Play? It comes up at the first result on my devices, not for you? Cheers.

Lol

Hey yeah thanks I have not finished most of the game pages - I am just very slow at creating those pages, they take ages! But thanks for reminding me - I have just updated the Wolfenstein app so I will take a look at the webpage now I think. I have thought about having the option to download free IWADs like that but I have not had a chance to ask the authors yet - I would want to make sure there was no personal issue at all with them first. I don't think they would mind as I guess it can only make the WADs more popular, but I would need to check first.

Hi, OK the MD5 of my doom2.wad is: 25e1459ca71d321525f84628f45ca8cd Feel free to send me your version if it is different and I can give it a try. I can also send you an old version of the app and we can see if that makes a difference. The only thing which has changed in PrBoom is the compiler used (newer), it's possible this has caused issues.

I can't reproduce this, it could be corrupt doom2.wad or maybe a broken settings in prboom, try deleting the .cfg file and try again.

Hi I have tried my best to abide by the license by doing the following: I have removed all the Build code (Software renderer is removed and not compiled in), also removed all OPL music code is gone, and upgrade the sound from FMOD Ex to FMOD Studio which is now free for Indy devs (http://www.fmod.org/sales/) - and registered the app with Firelight Technologies (FMOD) Also happy to look at odamex anyway when I get a chance :)

Oh OK so sometimes it locks up, what happens to the screen? Is there any animation or anything, just the music keeps playing? Under what circumstances does it happen, with particular mods? Does it happen on vanilla Doom? Thanks

Hi what do you mean by 'gets stuck' and by fast reboot? You mean it crashes? Thanks

Hi sorry for the delay, you have probably worked this out but you need to press the phones back button to at the start of launch, let me know if this does not fix it. For the code sure please send email to support@beloko.com and I will send it. Fluidsynth is compiled in and works for me, you need to set the soundfont path in Zdoom to point to the font file. Going to update soon to let you choose the file
