Is it possible?!
« on: February 03, 2013, 11:35:58 AM »

I recently bought a Kindle Fire HD. I have been toying around with it a lot. I started thinking is it possible for me to somehow convert an older PC game to run on the Kindle. I wanted to research it and possibly see if I can put http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gangsters:_Organized_Crime on the Kindle. Size wise it is possible.

 Any Ideas? I appreciate any feedback. Thanks for your time. :D

Doubtful, that tablet has a non-x86 processor and the OS is modified Android. One gig isn't really enough ram to run a qemu instance with windows in it, in fact, not even sure qemu supports omap processors for host.

Might check out this app (maybe the dev wants to support another device):

Speaking of older games, you probably already know about www.gog.com, where one can find, for a nominal sum, all sorts of older PC titles that have been tweaked to run on 'modern' windows.

Then there is www.gamefabrique.com, which has repackaged a number of console titles with their own emulators for ease of use (or for those who hold an aversion to mame configuration).  These also run under windows.

Wow, I had never heard of Gog before, I was just visiting it and it seems so awesome. At first glance I already saw a few titles I'd be interested in having!

Never refuse an invitation.
Never resist the unfamiliar.
Never fail to be polite.
And never outstay your welcome.

My smartphone currently need lower voltage then my old notebook :)

@Crome969 The Winulator app that Ximan posted works for android phones. Its actually in the app store on the phone for free. There are several other windows emulator apps out as well, so if you have something other than an android op phone it is possible that you can find one as well. Unfortunately for me it is not yet supported by the Kindle.
