First demo video

So here as promised - a video. The two Android devices you see here are Samsung Galaxy and Asus Transformer Eeepad TFT-101. The netbook is a Lenovo IdeaPad S12. The game runs locally on the devices.



In-game sound doesn't work yet. I'm working also on other fixes before releasing the app to the Android Play market. But once I do, you'd be able to run Caesar III too, provided you follow the instructions that appear at the documentation site. This will be possible once I officially announce the first version of Winulator-beta.

On the technical side - the target devices bear an ARM processor, even though the original program required an Intel processor. I have written a desktop helper application that converts the machine code from Intel to ARM, so relieving the need for Winulator to waste precious ARM cycles for emulation. Also, some Windows APIs were implemented to provide the run-time environment necessary for the hosted program to work. 

Currently I am testing Caesar III, but more games can surely be supported. As for the goal I set forth, I'll aim to provide a dedicated support to each of the programs that the users would like to run, in a way that will make it run smooth and playable (when it concerns games).

    Hello Dan, I'm not sure if I should like you for bringing back one of my favorite games to Android or hate you for threatening my productivity ;)Anyway I'm gonna wait impatiently for your release. Let me know if you need a betatester (Samsung Galaxy Tab II and Sony Xperia S). Good luck!

    Would absolutely love to see this as a Windows 8 app. Brings the best of x86 to the new Surface.
