Quote from: GernotFrischYes, sure. Personally I think PocketPCs in general will not gain 3D acceleration. It's not their main target and if you want 3D you'd better get a NintendoDS or a PSP console. PocketPC has a lot of other drawbacks as:Strangely this, to a certain extent, appeals to me. because of these restrictions, a PocketPC game will never survive on flashy media or feature packed 3D engine. The PSP esp. has a lot of games that look great but the gameplay sucks. PocketPC games scene is based on gaimplay 1st a foremost, its more 'adult' as a result of this. Ive allways been a big fan of turn based games, puzzles, trategic gameplay...
-Asking for key/mouse input drops framerates dramatically (that's a hardware defect)
-Being unable to check 2 buttons simultanously on most devices
-No 8 way D-pad
-a lot of overhead in the background
What's really great about PocketPCs is, that most people have them and do not really know what to do with them. So they need games! You can write a whole bunch of good games on PocketPC, but 3D is not its strength. I use my Smartphone much more than my PocketPC now, though I'd love to have a GSM phone in my PocketPC instead.
Anyway - did you test the new update - should speed things up.
The one thing that is always expanding on PocketPC, is processor speed, this in turn will lead to better and better software 3D engines. So even without hardware acceleretion, the future of PocketPC 3D looks bright IMHO.
P.S. Kuron, excuse me if I interrupted your question, I was just worried that the thread was becoming off topic.
Ill try the 3D tomorrow, when I am back home.
