Well, unless the handheld runs Javascript, then no it won't work. If it does, it might, but it will probably run slow. 11/30/06 - Quit RuneScape
November 15, 200619 yr I think he means an iPod (a model that has video, such as the Nano) or a Personal Device Assistant (PDA) such as a Palm Pilot. An iPod- probably not. MP3 players don't have Internet access, to my knowledge. A Palm Pilot- I would assume yes, provided you have Java 2 Micro Edition installed, and a good wireless connection (which means you'll have to be in a wi-fi hot spot area). According to http://www.palm.com/us/support/jvm/, you will need to send a message to Jagex CS to see if the java applet can be run on Internet ready Palm Pilot devices. Moved to Tech & Computers.
November 15, 200619 yr Author NO I didn't mean Ipod I no thats a fancy apple mp3 player I meant Ipaq is a Compaq handheld computer. Plus, making fun at ones grammer (education ) is in very poor taste we can't all be perfect like you. That was very rude of you. Anymore help on this would be great thanks
November 15, 200619 yr You better have one beefy palm to be running RS on it. Better be ready for alot of scroll bars to see the entire 800x600 rs window on that tiny screen too, if it runs at all. Looking at the link you posted, it won't. If you want to play RS on the road, get a laptop and a wireless card and a 3G plan from one of the cellular carriers, not some tiny palm that was never meant to do more than basic browsing and planning. Well, unless the handheld runs Javascript, then no it won't work. If you don't know the difference between Java and JavaScript (Yes, they're 2 completely different things, be amazed), you shouldn't be replying. :wall:

Well, a 1.5 psp with homebrew custom OS + extra 'stuff' can load java, as well as a myriad of other things, if ur prepared to risk bricking ur PSP to get it working... (although... you could save the PSPs memory onto ur PC and when it gets bricked just put the old memory set back...) *trails off*
November 15, 200619 yr My god...please learn better grammer. Grammar. Well, unless the handheld runs Javascript, then no it won't work. If it does, it might, but it will probably run slow. Runescape is Java, not Javascript - there is a difference. A Palm Pilot- I would assume yes, provided you have Java 2 Micro Edition installed, and a good wireless connection (which means you'll have to be in a wi-fi hot spot area). As far as I know, J2ME is not just a way of running normal Java applets on mobile devices. The J2ME applets have to be specifically programmed for J2ME. I have an HTC Universal running Windows Mobile 5.0 and Opera 8.6 for PocketPC (also tried running it in IE) and I tried running runescape as an experiment a while ago. It did not load the applet, and this Java capabilities better than J2ME. Better be ready for alot of scroll bars to see the entire 800x600 rs window on that tiny screen too I'm almost there, 640x480 on mine :D If you think 800x600 runescape would be bad on a PocketPC screen, think about when I used VNC to control my main machine from my last PocketPC - controlling 3200x1200 on a QVGA (240x320) screen... Some people are changed by being a moderator. I wouldn't be.

(although... you could save the PSPs memory onto ur PC and when it gets bricked just put the old memory set back...) *trails off* When you brick a psp you can't just put the old memory back on, unless you take the flash chip out and have some fancy expensive flash chip writer. Getting Java to work on the PSP is possible with homebrew like you said, but there's no risk in bricking it because it does not write any files to the psp. Somebody made it but never released the java because of Sun's copywrite laws.
November 15, 200619 yr if ur prepared to risk bricking ur PSP to get it working... *trails off* First off. There is hardly any danger in downgrading your psp. My psp is 1.5 If you were smart enough to stop upgrading firmware, the hacks get caught up very fast. I stupidly went from 1.5 to 2.6. In six months they had an 'easy unistaller' out. Just hooked it up connected to power, and was done. Bam. The danger is in writing to your flash, not playing homebrew. I havn't found the Java 'hack' though so i'm pretty excited to go try runescape on my psp later :) I heard concerns over legality, but isn't Java not under a public license? You should however note for *some* downgrades it would require you buy the older version of Liberty city (most likely off ebay, and you can just resell it for minimal loss). The most dangerous part is finding a safe site. Actually, it's ridiculously easy but it's dangerous if you're extremely stupid (Like, look for a good looking site. Not a '0mg download super magic 2.9 firmware downgrader [firmware is 2.81 max atm)

I guess this java is the type they use for cell phones? I don't know much about java and have not tested it yet. http://pspupdates.qj.net/PeeJay-v0-1-Ja ... /aid/72818
November 16, 200619 yr ^_^ *Excited* Thanks, Bookmarked and alarmed. Checking back in 5 days :-) [Yeh that might be too soon :P but hell!]
November 16, 200619 yr One question that you need to ask yourself is do you really want to play RuneScape on a handheld? Seriously, it will be so hard to use as it will most likley lag like a snail on steroids, not to mention it will be hard to move about using the devices that you get with a handheld (most likley a touch screen). Just something to keep in mind :
November 16, 200619 yr Oh, not at all, just the concept lol it'll be terribly hard to play. :s is it possible to resize java screeens?

I personally don't own one, so I'm just wondering if it would even work once you got the Java running and then worthwhile to play Rs on a PSP? :-k
November 18, 200619 yr my friend at shcool wrote windows 95 for the PSP - that runs RS ok.. highly illegal though and the firmware is 2.82 now - im keeping mine fully up to date - not messing around with homebrew on my best handheld..
November 18, 200619 yr my friend at shcool wrote windows 95 for the PSP - that runs RS ok.. highly illegal though BS. Also, it couldn't be highly illegal. The worst it could be is breach of copyright. Some people are changed by being a moderator. I wouldn't be.

The worst it could be is breach of copyright. Not BS - he has absolutely no life - thats what he does all the time. he has god knows what on that brick of a PSP - 40 gig hdd on the back.. and i imagine microsoft wud be slightly peeved about it..
November 18, 200619 yr I don't think you understand how difficult it is to port linux to a device like that - it requires teams of people, and that's when the source is available... Win95 is a whole different story. He didn't put windows 95 on it. Some people are changed by being a moderator. I wouldn't be.
November 18, 200619 yr And by 40gig you mean a 4gig overpriced Datel bulky drive that is stupid to buy considering it costs more then two 2gigs of pro duo And by 'having 95' you mean, a shell that looks like 95. and by 'having no life hax9ng all the time' you mean : Moved downloaded eboot file across a usb cable onto a folder in the psp. Or used an easy [Caution: ExecutableFile] installer... ....
November 18, 200619 yr Windows 95 can run on the psp. It meats the requirements. There was an x86 emulater that was out that could do it. To run you needed that emulator and the iso of the original Windows 95 cd. It was very slow and took about 20mins for it to get to the desktop. I have tried it.
