Yea, lets just wait for GTA V, Battlefield 3, Saints Row the III, skyrim, Far cry 3 for the Android and iOs too. Well because pads and mobiles are made for serious gaming. Oh wait, lets just all replace our computers with iPads.
The level of retardation is pretty damn outrageous.

Mobile phones evolve like anything else, and now are even more powerful than a desktop pc 10 years ago. They will gain a lot of power till anyone thinks about porting san andreas.
The only sure thing is that there wont be a mobile samp version. A damn lot of work just for a handful people who actually use it.

I can say, that the PC is also tens times more powerful than it was 10 years ago, so is most of the electronics, TVs, gaming consoles etc. My point was that this idea is fully retarded and no-one should emulate pc gaming on mobile devices.

And here is the GTA SA released? you see? nothing is impossible ..

sa-mp for Android could be the most awesome thing of the century, but seems it won't happen.

[nGen.SoNNy]

SA-MP Team don't have time to release their own updates for PC users... don't wait for a mobile version. This will never exist

Why isn't this thread locked yet?

[Wormart]

Lagged idea. :P

Exactly that.

So what? thanks to being in 0.3e my server reaches more than 100 players almost everyday.

This thread was a year old and it was bumped because someone decided to point out that GTA SA for mobile devices was released.

A more recent thread exists with the same request, where I posted the following:

With a lot of luck, you might be able to keep the samp server, everything else is a complete new work from scratch. If you think it is possible, try it yourself, there wont be a big difference between you and kalcor in this. 3. Multiplayer experience on phones sucks hard, because phones are too different to allow fair matches. There are tons of GTA-like singleplayer games for phones, but can you name a single third person MULTIPLAYER shooter? Probably no, because others also know that this would suck too hard on phones. 4. Phones would probably need to be rooted to allow memory hacking of the game. 5. People would need to BUY the phone SA. As about 90% of all samp players just got pirated GTA, barely anyone could play samp on his phone. Mauzen is the best on point here, but there are a few more things to note: - You can't have anything like a "mod" on iOS (and realistically, most other platforms too). Simply not possible. Apps are sandboxed, you'd need to use an exploit to break this sandbox and such an app would not be approved on the app store. - In the unlikely event that it was finally cobbled together: SA-MP works based on a single GTA version, and newer versions require downgrading in order to work on PC. Pushing GTA updates on iOS + other platforms is so much simpler for Rockstar, and now most of these updates are applied automatically with no chance to downgrade, which would break the mod on every new update. - Above all, Kye is not a mobile developer (to my knowledge). SA-MP for PC has been hard enough to hack together and I doubt he has months/years of free time to dedicate to learning how to port such a mod to mobile platforms, especially when it could not be done legally and would be incredibly difficult to actually play. It's not a bad idea, but it's just technically impossible or infeasible in so many ways that seem to escape the minds of all the people here every time this topic is brought up.

Stop this stupid shit.

[Gryphus One]

Those reasons you give are good, but people keep dreaming and without dreamers the world would have never progressed.
