HyperXewl 162 Posted December 30, 2021 Share Posted December 30, 2021 Hey there! This post is more directed at computer nerds who like to tinker, so this may be alien language to most players. With HoN coming to an end, I'd like to do some fun things for the community that I've always wanted to do, things like adding the ability to do 10 VS 10 and other wacky things like ports to strange systems. There are some linux devices out there that are not x86_64 such as: raspberry pi nintendo switch (L4T Ubuntu) macbook m1 with arm64 ubuntu linux because you have way too much free time chromebooks I think it would be fun to see HoN natively ported to it, although there's not much point I'm wondering if there's anyone out there who'd love this kind of thing! Let me know, thanks! 1 Link to post Share on other sites
Manu311 174 Posted December 30, 2021 Share Posted December 30, 2021 (edited) I actually tried to install HoN on my phone . But eventually realized that I'm unable to get accelerated graphics on X and no opengl means no HoNย . Edit: I noticed I should probably mention how I was trying to do this :ย https://github.com/ptitSeb/box64ย I don't have an raspberry pi 4 (or any other device you listed)ย and I assume the rpi 3 isn't enough - but I certainly would love to try to run HoN on it .

We already have a 100% linux version, it just isn't officially supported anymore. But it still works just fine and (thanks to me) you can even install it via package managers (that support flatpak). Idk about performance compared to win64 via wine, but it's pretty solid as it has always been. An official linux version now wouldn't really matter since there won't be (many) patches left which could fix suddenly appearing bugs. Link to post Share on other sites
SomePUB 1 Posted December 31, 2021 Share Posted December 31, 2021 I would be interested!ย I haven't tried launching HoN on raspberry, but would like to give a try since I have both raspberry 3b and 4b. But It seems 3ย is not powerful enough. Link to post Share on other sites
KavehAhangar 1 Posted January 3 Share Posted January 3 I'm still playing it in Linux(CentOS stream). I believe it's actually better than windows, asย ย I can run the game at 4K without any problems while I had a lot of issues like curser and some other in windows. I jut don't get why you want to put effort running it over ARM64 while the game will close soon. ย Link to post Share on other sites

I guess primarily "for fun". People have also "installed" (three dimensional)ย games on digital pregnancy tests! Link to post Share on other sites
Wife 13 Posted January 6 Share Posted January 6 (edited) What is arm64? Do whatever you want, so we can keep play the game after shut down.ย Is it only for Linux? Nothing for pc, win? ย Edited January 7 by Wife Link to post Share on other sites

Wife 13 Posted January 12 Share Posted January 12 Is this gonna be under these 6 months or after the shutdown? Link to post Share on other sites

HyperXewl 162 Posted January 19 Author Share Posted January 19 We have a test build that needs to be packaged up but it works! If you're interested, please join the HoN64 discord here and post a message in the linux-arm64 section with what kind of device ( .. or emulator? QEMU etc ) you have and we'll drop a download link in there soon. Thanks! Link to post Share on other sites
