Nope its not a fake. I was able to run around and talking on the chat. Its not that easy to write in the chats, but it is possible.

Have fun

!_!

Your freakin' phone can run PS better than my laptop?

Oh, that's just not fair. Not fair at all.

Interesting. Did you compile it specifically for its OS? What OS does it have, what kind of 3D chipset?

This is really miffing me. I can't get my hand around it being real, but that' some pretty good photoshopping to add the reflection of the camera on the iPhone's screen.

GRAH.

I can haz your compiled version for the iPhone?

wow...it actually looks nice too...

I wonder if it has some marketability that way... all 3 OS's and the iPhone! /me rubs her hands together and plots....up a proposal!

:)

oooo, what happens if you flip the phone from horizontal to vertical?

If this really works the team would like some more information on how it works so we can pursue providing better support for the iphone. You may contact me via pm.  :thumbup:

He he,

Well, no its NOT a trick photo. Im not that good with photoshop ... actually i stink with photoshop.

To make it work, VNC is your friend ;-)

But i think its cool anyway. But i wouldn't want to play for hours this way ... waaayy too complicated. VNCs refresh rate is just not good enough.

Not that i dont belive this, but there is no need for Photoshop to fake it. Just take a screenie and display it as a photo on the iphone. As easy as that. People just think too much of Photoshop.

No, there is. Look at the photo, it's obviously not a simple screenie as you can see the reflection of light/the camera off the iPhone. Can't do that with simple cut an paste and make it look real.

No, the basic idea of some simple fake was:

1) Take a screenshot of PS on a PC
2) Tansfer the screenshot from the PC to the iPhone
3) Display the screenshot in an Image Viewer on the iPhone
4) Take a photo of the image in the viewer

Anyway - PlaneShift is not executed on the iPhone, just displayed. Still, it is impressive, you are using the iPhone as a kind of "remote control incl. monitor" for your PC then. Nice idea. A really "more advanced fake".

It is an obvious fake! Iphones are smaller than that!  :P :oops:

Dudes and dudettes...

I believe our lil mage here is referring to something else. He/she is running Planeshift on a real PC/Mac, and uses a remote desktop connection program (like VNC) to connect to it and play. I tried that too some time ago, but not with an iPhone. And yes, the refresh rate sucks so it's not very playable.

That's good to know, didn't know you can play PS via VNC.

yeah you can not. i used to not play planeshift at work occastionally through vnc.

 it lags a bit depending on the relative connections. it used to make smelting ore a bit tricky before they upped the times. and getting out of the death realm was a challenge in and of itself.

I meant run psclient and get it to render, not actually play the game.
