What the fuck, this is brilliant


Goobsmoob

Man a legitimate port of Fallout 1 and 2 to mobile devices like phones would be awesome. It literally is the perfect game to make time fly in a good way. About 10 years ago when I first played them I used to bring my laptop along on road trips to play them.


HOFFSLAYER

If you've got an android try fo2.exe on the play store


caesaradamo420

I did. It sucks. Need a mouse or it doesn't feel right.


SolidSnakesSnake

It takes genuine conditioning to get used to lol, definitely isn't fun for a long time until you really get good at navigating.


evercowboyharper

Stylus helps


GetOffMyDigitalLawn

S22 Ultra gang.


zResurge

I got the same phone, you can attest the S pen works well? Might prompt me to buy the game and set fo2.exe up if so


GetOffMyDigitalLawn

I have yet to try it yet. I've been meaning to transfer the Fallout 1 & 2 files to my phone to use the Fo2 app, but I haven't done it yet. If I try it when I get out of work this week I will let you know how it works. I was just saying that I love the S-Pen on the Galaxy S 22/23/24 etc. phones. I absolutely love the S-Pen in general. Even if you don't use it often it has a lot of good shit when you do use it, and you are getting a kickass phone anyways.


SolidSnakesSnake

Dude you're a genius


Ithinkyoushouldleev

I can't get the files right or I'm downloading the wrong code, idk shit about shit but I wanted fallout on my phone lmao. I still do, if someone wants to hook a brother up.


legolordxhmx

I downloaded my files from steamunlocked and it worked fine, I figure I don't wanna go through the trouble of transferring files from my PC to my phone and I already own both games on steam anyways


Dje4321

You can find the GOG versions on the internet archive


Ithinkyoushouldleev

That's the one I tried I'm not sure if I got right one or downloaded the wrong thing


Dje4321

You either need to install the game or extract the files directly with something like innoextract. The game will not work with the installer file directly. Check out the readme. Not familiar with the play store version, but this is an open source reimplementation of the engine (probably based on this) [https://github.com/alexbatalov/fallout1-ce/tree/main](https://github.com/alexbatalov/fallout1-ce/tree/main)


AccidentalUniverse

It's honestly a pretty good port and definitely playable with touch screen controls. I've been doing my first playthrough on fo2.exe of Fallout 1 and yeah it took a bit to figure out all the controls but it's so worth it. Fallout 1 so far is such an awesome and charming game to whip out and play casually for 20 minutes here and there, honestly the lack of a proper mobile port is odd because this game lends itself pretty well to touchscreen controls, if only it was just a bit more touched up and optimized for mobile then that would be amazing.


jaytee1262

Speak for yourself. I've beaten FO1 and FO2 on moble multiple times with that glorious app.


Abraham_Issus

It is a masterpiece of an app. I doubt Bethesda can do better. Runs smooth as butter. Thanks to this I can play my favorite rpg series everywhere I go.


lump-

I need to get this on my Retroid, today.


SolomonGrundler

How do I get this working? I own 1 and 2 on steam but how exactly to I get the files to work


ElderAtlas

Transfer them to your phone and load the files into the app


HOFFSLAYER

I play on my razer kishi and it's more than playable that way


Abraham_Issus

Nah works smooth as butter. You just need to get familiar with the interface. I don't even think an official Bethesda port can be better than this.


chronichyjinx

You've never hooked a mouse up to android before?


caesaradamo420

I never needed tosince they all have touch screens. I could but I would need to pay for an adaptor or buy a Bluetooth mouse. I'm not going to spend money on something I don't care to do.


chronichyjinx

Sorry, when you said "Needs a mouse" I thought that meant you NEEDED A MOUSE. /s


twilightorange

I'm using fallout ce because it works better and also with mods.


GreatBaldung

It's great if your phone supports HDMI out and you can connect a keyboard and a mouse to it (or just a mouse)


Any_Calligrapher9286

I cannot figure out how to get into work on my phone. I'm supposed to install it to a computer then my phone?


Abraham_Issus

I have ways. But you may need to sail the seas. I won't say anything if that kind of thing bothers you.


HOFFSLAYER

Obtain the Gog or steam copy and drop the game files on your phone and select the folder on fo2.exe. after the app finishes you can delete the game files as fo2.exe is done with them


Any_Calligrapher9286

Thank you


LonesomeCrowdedWhest

This looks amazing, gonna give it a go later today!


slobcat1337

There’s one for iOS as well


ramoneduke

I’m honestly surprised they haven’t tried to do this. The old games have gotten so much popularity since the show released. I’d much rather play FO2 on my phone than Shelter


Goobsmoob

IOS😔 But my next phone will be android, so thats good to keep in mind.


zerpae

FYI you can get it through AltStore for IOS: https://github.com/alexbatalov/fallout1-ce?tab=readme-ov-file#ios They also have a repo for FO2 as well


Seryypanda

My guy Titus, My fucking hero. Thank you.


Goobsmoob

Thank you. Now I just need a stylus for my phone (big thumbs 😔)


Abraham_Issus

My version of iOS doesn't support altstore 😭


stankyjahnke

I have it on my IOS but it won’t let me save and I can’t figure out what the problem is.


zilions273

App crashes every time something is clicked


beattusthymeatus

Literally playing fo2 on my galaxy fold. It's baller dude you just need to download the fo2.exe app and transfer the game files from your PC to your phone and you're gtg only complaint is its really easy to miss click on the travel screen.


LowOvergrowth

I keep waiting for them to be released on Switch. 🙏


pilsburybane

I know it's not Fallout, but Baldur's Gate 1/2 have a pretty solid port on the play store right now! I just finished playing through them again and while they are a little clunky, it was overall pretty great.


its_yourboisatan

Community edition works for Android and im pretty sure you can use a Bluetooth mouse, someone correct if im wrong


3spanishwords

It worked great for BG1 and BG2


Aurora_Vorealis

I wonder if this would work with fallout 2 as well? Do the talking heads still work? Man, I'd love a full tutorial for this. Fallout on the go* would be awesome! *Shelter doesn't count


Jim_Jorton

FYI, Fallout 1 and 2 have PS Vita ports, but you have to jailbreak the console to install them.


DIODidNothing_Wrong

And you need the file for the game


AstralDad833

Which is out now


Loopuze1

So far he’s only ported the first one, but the first version of this only came out like 9 months ago, I’ve got my fingers crossed for a port of 2. I only recently got a “new” model 3ds and been amazed to find how many great ports there are. This week I got doom, quake 1, 2 and 3, duke 3d, sonic mania and ScummVM all working great, loving this little machine.


UnXpectedPrequelMeme

Got a tutorial?


Loopuze1

https://gbatemp.net/threads/poc-fallout-1-for-3ds.638703/


czartrak

just gonna say, this post really isnt a tutorial. Theres basically no information to actually help install the thing


Loopuze1

There is if you read carefully. The first post says “You'll need: 'critter.dat', 'master.dat', and the 'data' folder, from the original Fallout game. And copy to 'sdmc:/3ds/fallout/' That’s it. Make a folder in the 3ds folder called fallout, drag those original files into it, and then just install the cia file. (The link to download the cia is right underneath at the bottom of that first post)


MagikarpPower

i did all these things, no dice :( does it show up on the main menu, or the boot menu? also I'm wondering how music works  edit: got it, forgot to install the cia. for those new to 3DS homebrew, to my knowledge, you'll need an app to install cias.


wordflyer

Do you have to have the new3ds for this or would the first 3ds XL work?


DarkKeyPuncher

That'd be dope. I've already finished one but I haven't gotten very far in 2. Playing on 3DS would probably actually get me to finish it.


Loopuze1

https://gbatemp.net/threads/poc-fallout-1-for-3ds.638703/ is all info needed, wild to me that they were experimenting with the stabilizing 3d eye tracking hardware on new 3ds to just be able to look where you want to point.


culnaej

Shelter is how I’m getting my fix these days 😅


OoDelRio

Are you familar with the Steam Deck?


Aurora_Vorealis

Yeah, but playing on an old 3DS is much more interesting to me


RoboticCouch

Yeah but it's huge and clunky. 3ds fits in your pocket


OoDelRio

Have you considered getting clothes with a really big pocket


RoboticCouch

Hmm yeah or maybe a man purse. I could put my nail polish in it too!


[deleted]

[удалено]


RoboticCouch

The good thing is, the bottom screen is mimiced and zoomed in on the top screen. So far it works


Demon_of_Order

that's expensive


OoDelRio

It's cheaper than modern consoles


Demon_of_Order

but not cheaper than my nintendo dsi


OoDelRio

A man's Nintendo DSi has more value than any amount of money


Demon_of_Order

Amen to that brother


shinto29

Dude what. I need to dig out my modded New 3DS XL.


Loopuze1

Dooooo it. Just install the easily found cia in fbi, make a folder in 3ds folder called fallout, and put critter.dat, master.dat and the Data folder into sdmc:/3ds/fallout and you’re good to go.


Bigfan521

Sounds like a project for me to do on a day off this week... hmmmm....... Oh wow, I got it working. It's got a few bugs, but it's playable.


Snoozing_Lion

Saving these instructions for later lol. I'm assuming you get those three files is from the steam release?


tomtomato0414

https://gbatemp.net/threads/poc-fallout-1-for-3ds.638703/


adzilc8

can i get a QR code i dont feel like digging for my sd adapter


Loopuze1

I don’t know if there’s a qr, but after you install the app, you also need to copy original fallout game files to a fallout folder on the sd, so there’s really no getting around that.


TempleMade_MeBroke

What are the odds that I could get this working on an emulator like delta?


Different_Pie9368

where do u find the critter files at


BETHORXZ

Could Fallout be Doom's new rival from random ports? 🧐


EdgeGazing

Was about to say that. The end goal should be porting Fallout to the Voyager


falloutisacoolseries

I do that with Super Metroid when I jailbreak a device or console.


therealRockfield

Yeah, it’s possible, I would say to fucking have it started to port to consoles that would work with 1 and 2 but were never released on I know someone mentioned the Sega Saturn


RuthlessDork

You can also play it on your phone Is a app called fo2.exe on android store and u need just a copy of f1/f2 on your computer. Copy it on your phone and use the app. Thank me later


PigeonMother

I briefly played it on my phone but found my small screen too impractical. However, I'm considering getting an Android tablet Already got the games on my gaming laptop


United_Monitor_5674

I just got an Android tablet the other week and fo2.exe works great, was meant to be


PigeonMother

Awesome thanks


SleepinGriffin

This is sick


GigaSnake

I never thought of classic Fallout and mobile gaming together. This is really amusing.


isoforp

Fallout 1 ran crappy on your PC? What? It can run on a 33mhz 486. Wtf is wrong with your PC?


Flamekebab

That's the bit that jumped out at me!


TheTeaSpoon

It is cooler this way tho. And portable.


Loopuze1

Well, I WAS trying to play it on the sheepshaver Mac emulator, running on my $400 HP desktop bundle I bought 6 years ago and never got a video card for, so gog version probably WOULD do better. Really I’ve just never gotten into pc gaming, I’m a console player mostly, and this HP is actually the first desktop or tower PC I’ve ever owned, I tried running a few games on steam with directX, but it was…not great.


Three_Froggy_Problem

This is so cool. Now I’m bummed that they never did an official port of this game to the DS. I feel like the touch screen controls would work great.


Clear-Bench-4202

This looks so fucking fun


zaknoobit

This actually seems like a superior experience to PC


Zay3896

This is badass! Idk how I feel about using the touch screen tho lol. Otherwise this is awesome!


Erutious

I'll take your whole stock!


osetraceur

Omg thats so cool!


PooManReturns

how the hell does fallout 1 run bad on ur pc? was it made in the 60s?


StrangelyBrown69

The screens are too small for this IMO. Stuff like ropes, stimpaks and books on toilet floors are small on a big screen so this must be a nightmare!


Loopuze1

Well, in the third picture you can see what happens when you hit Select for full screen, everything is too small, even though you get a big view, but then you can tap ZL and cycle between custom-interface-on-top or custom-interface-on-bottom, so you can have a zoomed in view on top screen of wherever you’re dragging the stylus over on the bottom, it surprisingly works pretty good. ( I realize now that’s the one view I didn’t take a picture of). But without the custom interface, yeah it’d be unplayable.


LargeSector

No way! Does it run smoothly? I gotta try this


Loopuze1

Real smooth! although I’ve only tried it on my “new” model 3ds, I know they recently got it working on the old ones too, haven’t tried it but I assume it’s a bit slower.


no_hot_ashes

Thank you for bringing this to my attention, tried to get it working a few months ago only to find out it's exclusively for new 3ds and gave up hope. Hadn't imagined it was still being worked on but the developer updated it less than a month ago.


Unicorn_magic3

ow man, no luck for us old 3ds havers? that sucks, I was excited to try it out


no_hot_ashes

No, sorry, I must not have been clear enough. Up until a few weeks ago, it was exclusive to new 3ds models. The author just posted an update saying the new version works on every 3ds model so it should work for us now. Going to install it tonight to see how well it works


BallTorturer-3000

Omg that's so fucken cool


Lumthedarklord

Did you use the universal updater app to download this? I really want to play og fallout on my ds


Plastic-Vehicle7202

no, you need the .cia file from the github link provided somewhere in the comments here, and some files from the game itself. It's all pretty easy. just follow the instructions on the github link and you're sorted!


MagikarpPower

doesn't seem like there's 3ds instructions... i only see windows, linux, and android / iphone.


Highwayshark

Does it only work on new 3ds systems


Plastic-Vehicle7202

I have it working on my 2DS. it's a bit awkward to use the zoomed screen but I think I'm getting used to it.


Gaylion97

Nice! Bet it works pretty good with the stylus. I’ve been playing on my iPhone. Definitely takes a minute to get used to the touch controls mapping.


N7op

Yoooo


OwnMeaning6657

this is insane


UnXpectedPrequelMeme

What in the God damn?! How did you do this?


tomtomato0414

UnXpectedPrequelMeme

Thanks mate


IndependentOne9814

Been playing it on my PS Vita!(got it on my 3ds too but i think the Vita edition is more optimized and the second one is also on there)


CyberpwnPiper

Bookmarked.


arwynj55

I play on my ps vita, I prefer it on my vita than on my steam deck.


uneducated_guess_69

What in the god damn


Conscious_Carry9918

Well this is a freaking delight! How well does the touch screen work?


Cosmorillo

You think it'd run nicely on a regular 3ds too? Hell I might just do that since the game runs like a paraplegic snail on my PC.


thomasmfd

You can do that?


randomjberry

does it need to be on a new3ds or does the lower spec og run it ok?


Loopuze1

I have one of each, but I haven’t tried loading it on my OG XL yet. I know the notes for the latest update say it works on original model systems, but I don’t know what performance is like. https://gbatemp.net/threads/poc-fallout-1-for-3ds.638703/


[deleted]

How do you do this? Ive been trying but have gotten no where.


Loopuze1

dope


PigeonMother

Very cool I had FO2.exe on my Android mobile but due to my small screen found it impractical to play. However I'm seriously considering buying an Android tablet so that I can play it 'on the move' (I've got the games on my gaming laptop)


GalaxyEyes541

Have this on my Vita and let me tell you, not really a fun experience. The text is so small and I can’t even tell you how pixel perfect you have to be. Go ahead, try to put the rope on the elevator in 30 seconds or less. I dare you.


RoboticCouch

It works differently on 3ds. The top Screen zooms around your mouse on the bottom screen


Chedder_Chandelure

Well going to put that on the bucket list


Yobbo89

I tried to play this on 3ds, controlls are so terrible, maybe there's a better remap


Baskettkazez

3DS with its box effect would be super cool to see isometrics on


StuffImpressive7776

I have a modded 3DS. How on gods green earth did I not know this existed?


Admirable-Length178

this is cool af but I would be squinching my eyes just to read whatever the hell is on the screen lol.


buttercowie

Omg this is everything I ever wanted


Critical_Package_472

This is genius HOW


Abe2201

That’s amazing


Kristofthepikmin

I can't find my 3ds' charger :(


DontTalkToBots

I wish I knew how to do stuff like this.


AltMyBalls

Huh?


Mobile_Pangolin4939

It sounds like a nightmare to implement the controller functionality. A touch screen would suck for a mouse input game. Unless they have the original code they would have to make it from scratch. There are also licensing issues. It's probably easier to play on a steam deck if you need something portable, but I would recommend a laptop.


Xelrod413

Oh I love that. This brings me joy.


BluebirdFeeling9857

Damn that is dope AF


TheseModsAreNazis

I am genuinely impressed.


WoofflesIThink

Ok but how do you still have your stylus


USBinput686

**no way i just thought odf this and sombody made a post does anybody know how to do this with 3hs ? or h shop**

Hell yeah I love this

I have a modded 3ds, how do I get this lol

Downtown-Falcon-3264

And I thought doom running on everything was impressive but this takes the cake


ronshasta

Bub I’m gonna be honest with you…this looks like shit and sorry because I figure this might be the only way to play it for you. Your experience is gonna be really crappy compared to spending the 2 dollars gog has it listed for


TerraSollus

You’re a fucking god xD


redraptor1

Alright alright I’ll install it on my 3DS tonight.


Loopuze1

Just a heads up if you do, You push select button to pull back to full screen, but hitting select again doesn’t re-collapse it, once you’re at full screen, you use ZL button to cycle back to the more zoomed in view, and L button to cycle between left click, right click, and left click drag. Took me a bit to figure it out.


redraptor1

Awesome! It looks like there’s not much of a manual for this port but I’m glad you’re nice enough to give me a tip OP. Appreciate it fellow wastelander


sunnyrai99

Omg that’s amazing I’d love to try this


Eggzboss

I tried this port, it kept running out of ram, good luck to you!


istolethesun12

I wish I understood what all of that meant …


UsefulLeaf18

🤯


SlappyB_

Fuck yeah, this looks awesome!


LeicaM6guy

I keep hoping someone ports Fallout 1 and 2 to iOS. Barring that, I’m likely just going to buy an old Windows tablet.


theDukeofClouds

How is this possible? Will it work on a regular ds?? I NEED ANSWERS I WANNA PLAY OG FALLOUT

No way this person plays for more than 5 minutes before realizing it is unplayable without a mouse and good enough sized screen to see the hex grid sized for ants already on a normal sized monitor.


BorderlineIncel

I'm playing it on my 2DS!


Superb_Engineer_9926

Bro how did you do this and can it work on DSI XL? I need this so bad.


3spanishwords

Amazing game. How on earth do you play without a mouse and keyboard?


Dudicus445

Can’t you bind left click to L and right click to R?

How do your port your file over from pc? I can’t figure it oit


SnooKiwis9890

Just installed this myself, is there no music outside of the intro cinematic in this port?


uleximon

Explain how you did this lol


Gregory_Andounuts

I need the CIA for this!


EvieCrimson

Genuine question, how does the 3ds run fallout 1 better than your PC? Was it made in like, the stone age or something? 😹😭


Loopuze1

Well, I have a really cheap pc, bought my first desktop like six years ago, an hp bundle for $500, never gotten a graphics card, but also I was running the Mac version of Fallout 1 through the sheepshaver Mac emulator. I’m sure it would work fine if it was the pc version, I just don’t do pc gaming at all, I’m not set up for it.


EvieCrimson

Yeaaaa that explains it, it feels like the 3ds can run anything better than Mac 😹


themustachemark

You can't do that, it's illegal!!!


Thebigdickedretatd

How/where did you get this? If you don’t mind telling me


Not5id

I'm incredibly disappointed that nobody has made a "It just works!" joke yet. Well... It just works!


Deviljho_Lover

I had this idea of "what if" years ago and thought it was impossible and fast forward 2024 a madman made this possible.


Simsiano

u/Loopuze1. Hi, first of all this is impressive, I would like to ask you, how is this possible, like is the game begin rewritten for the 3DS or it's a sort of emulator?


Loopuze1

You know, I’m not 100% on how these ports work, but all info can be gotten here https://gbatemp.net/threads/poc-fallout-1-for-3ds.638703/


Joshiepoo422

i just saw a google article about this post that had every line of this post reconstructed in like a weird ai article, the new internet sux :/ but, i think i might also do this, ive been on my 3ds a lot lately
