Games for the Dell AXIM 50v

[RussSchultz]

The Dell Axim 50v has a Imgtech display controller(I believe). I'm wondering if games exist specifically for this hardware, and what development tools exist to make use of it.

Kristof may be the person to ask but, FWIW, there are (public) development tools for MBX, using OpenGL ES, and also a PC OpenGL ES Emulator on the PowerVR Developer website.

Dell Home includes 2 accelerated games with the Axim X50v, Stuntcar Extreme and Enigmo. The Dell Small Business site includes a demo of Enigmo.

Besides those two games, I know of an independently developed one that's under construction called Solterra. It's an on-rails 3D shooter in the vein of Starfox.

There are a number of emulators that now take advantage of OGLES for accelerating the graphics such as this one :

There is a First Person Shooter can be seen and downloaded here :

Intel has started to port Cube and release the results as open source :

And obviously there is more on the way... and as Simon said the SDKs and compilers are all available for download for free and ready to use now.

If you are thinking about developing then these forums are a good resource :
