You know, the best one. The original. Part adventure, part strategy.
That game was awesome. I've played it through many times.
I think it could work rather well on the GP32, should be possible with its age (Day of the Tentacle is from a later date and works after all).
There isn't much about it on the net unfortunatly. I found and downloaded something which seemed to suggest being source code though I haven't a clue whether its the real deal or what (as I do not know c/c++/whatever it would be).
 
Well, I've got no idea if it's the source for dune itself, but I doubt it and even if it is it would be of little to no use for GP2X for the following reason:

The only code I could find was assembly- specifically 68000 assembler (i got that from the top of the source file, I have no idea what architecture that is, except that I'm pretty sure it isn't ARM- and the code doesn't look like ARM assembly to me with my limited knowledge) Also, looking at the comments, they look like some sort of utility. Something to do with kickstart (so it's to do with Amiga kickstart I assume)

Sorry :(
 
ravuya is right this is just a patch to install Dune for the amiga onto harddisk -- sorry guys bit disapointing :~( "Find Gurney and take an orni..." when I get a chance ill look into it porting it more carefuly but I dont think I have the cd rom anymore. The engine wasnt very complitated but still a lot of work with a disassembler. Amiga emulation might be the way to go.
 
I'm pretty sure the only pure genesis dune is the RTS game by westwood
but the segaCD version of dune was the adventure game (that's the one I think we're talking about). I own it, but never got very far.

I don't see how segaCD emulation could possibly be out of the question on this sytem at all. Especially with genesis able to run so well.

I meant the Genesis version by Westwood; I thought the Amiga version was also the RTS. If not..

I think the Sega CD uses a different microprocessor than the Genesis, but luckily a lot of the Sega CD emulators (like Gens) are open source although I'm curious how far we'd get with that.
