Is there any way to play the original Deus Ex on a handheld?

Dear GAF, all I want is to play Deus Ex on a handheld. Now, it doesn't matter if it's the PC, Mac, PS2, whatever version. I just want that game on the go. Is there any way my dream could become reality? Vita doesn't play the PS2 version, right? Is there an official Linux version I could play on a Caanoo or similar? Is there any way? Please help, GAF.
 
without an UI mod, it would be hard to play, from what I remember it is hard to play without a mouse :)

and I cannot recall any portable version sadly
 
What PS2 version?

New marketing technique?
Marketing for what? Handhelds? Deus Ex? Wha?
 
I think he was joking about the "what PS2 version" thing. The fans tend to really not like that version of the game.

Aside from weird layouts and eyes of some characters, I kinda liked how things looked in the PS2 version.
 
Maybe the pc version could work on that handheld with full keyboard (i don't remember the name)

I wasn't. I seriously didn't know that existed. Neat. How is it? How bad can it be?

I thought maybe he was talking about Invisible War.
 
Pretending it never existed? It wasnt that bad..

It took all of the seamless exploration and multiple path gameplay and infused them with massive amounts of loading times. I found it to be awful. The aiming thing was neat, though.
 
I must've had pretty low standards back then since I played through the game on PC and then on PS2 when it released, but didn't really have a problem with it.
 
I remember installing Quake II PC CD onto my Nintendo DS thanks to some dedicated modders. It even ran great.

Deus Ex isn't much more graphically heavy than Quake II. But it would probably take a team of four several months to get it running.
 
That's sounds...not so good. Are there any videos of the game running on a Nexus 7?

I was joking, I don't know if it would even run on a Nexus 7 :lol But since you can install Ubuntu on it, it should at least be theoretically possible to install Wine and run Deus Ex.
