D2X Project

Descent 2 for DOS, Windows, and Unix (Linux, Solaris, Mac OS X, etc).

Descent for Pocket PC? Yes, it actually runs! Not terribly useful yet, though, unless maybe you have an external keyboard or pointer device? But you can, at least, start it up and watch a demo or attempt to navigate your ship with nothing more than your little stylus... Some images here

Supported features include: Graphics, Sound, OpenGL, Joystick, Mouse, CD audio, Networking
Unsupported features: Serial

A few of the new features in 0.2.0: Movies, Bigendian support, Shareware data file support, and Descent 1 data file support

D2X's primary development goal is to reach the same level of stability and feature-richness as D1X.
