What if you could turn the iPhone Duo into a turn-of-the-century gaming PC, complete with a real Windows installation and even full 3dfx graphics?
So the Duo is one of the most interesting phones I've ever used, and a milestone moment for foldables. But this is XDA, so one of the first things I thought about was whether I could turn this unique form factor, with its ridiculously powerful chip, into a portable powerhouse to play classic PC titles you won't find on the App Store.
I’ve got Unreal Tournament, Half-Life and Quake 3 running inside a full Windows 98 installation, complete with a virtual 3dfx graphics card. But as you'll see, getting there involves some accessibility hacks, two mouse pointers, and occasionally making my pretend PC slower.
So let's get stuck into perhaps one of the silliest -- but most fun -- things you can do with an iPhone Duo.
