To all SSC Station occupants
Thank you for the donations over the past year (2024), it is much appreciated. I am still trying to figure out how to migrate the forums to another community software (probably phpbb) but in the meantime I have updated the forum software to the latest version. SSC has been around a while so their is some very long time members here still using the site, thanks for making SSC home and sorry I haven't been as vocal as I should be in the forums I will try to improve my posting frequency.
Thank you again to all of the members that do take the time to donate a little, it helps keep this station functioning on the outer reaches of space.

Hi
Big fan of the original game, but no longer have a pc, just a samsung tablet. Is FFED3D available for android devices?
i can't say yes or no, but i strongly assume no.
it would surprise me if such would exist.
probably one would be able to write a wrapper for FFE (resp. alter JJFFE).
in general it's exactly this why i guess it won't exist.
FFED3D is (a wrapper for) JJFFE (which is itself a wrapper for FFE).
the main problem i see is that there exists no source code for FFED3D.
we have to keep in mind that
surprisingly a (back then) 14 year old boy made FFED3D (Dreamzzz).
i assume he used the XNA gamestudio for it, by the missing source code (XNA uses a own system to exchange project modules) and the type of shaderscripts you find for FFED3D (they comply only exactly to XNA), i had only for a short moment contact with him, i couldn't asked him much and it sounded like he wouldn't have much
interest in my questions, e.g. "how and with which environment do you made FFED3D".
phew, not because of a version for a portable device, just in general i was interested in a source of it, problems which i would have liked to see solved,
for things which i couldn't reach with hacking.
however, i didn't think such exists, probably a android version of JJFFE, this in can imagine well.
anyway from my pov, the idea of FFED3D should be picked up new, the engine (FFE) is good and it looks like that if it's graphically "pimped up" you can still fascinate some players with it.
if there exists one person who can exactly tell you which elite game exists for which platform then it's steve.

why don't you get yourself a old PC? it will cost nothing, probably one will even pay for recycling that crap.
a "miserable" 500MHz processor is enough to run FFED3D, such old machines you get for free, or almost.
if we would live door to door i would gift one of my old machines.
it would exist (DOSBox for android),

(you will have to switch to english prob.)
it costs a little fee (why? - ok, why not)
the performance of FFE via DOSBox isn't very good (compared to JJFFE).
