Lets have a little fantasy for a moment :p What games that WOULD run well on GP2X would you think would be the most awsome ports ever..... if only their source were avalable.

For me, top 5 would be...

System Shock
(2X could handle the floppy version no problem, CD version should be much of a prob either)
Realms Of The Haunting
(only problem would be the size of it, but that could be worked around and not a hardware problem, just SD size problem)
Fallout
(This would push the hardware a lot but I think it would definately be possible, and Fallout 1 and 2 are simply the best games ever and a portable version would be better than the best thing ever!)
Quarentine // Road Warrior
(Awsome games that kicked Carmageddons ass years before it was ever made)
Any Mechwarrior or Battletech game
(constraints here are the masses of controls needed, but I think using L and stickpush as "shift" buttons it would be very possible)

In a perfect world. Hell, I'd pay full price for any one of those ports, but alas, nerry shall it be.

What would *yours* be? *points randomly*
 
I would certainly agree with you on Fallout. Maybe Daggerfall? I don't know if the 2x would be powerful enough to run it anyway. But if there were Daggerfall sources I would love a new PC port to play with (A little off topic...).
 
At the moment.. :) yazor I believe has done some preliminary work on remaking the LBA2 engine.

Besides, what's so great about LBA2 as opposed to the original?

Systemshock might be possible too, as there is a engine recode project (sorry don't have the link right now).
It is at a quite early stage though, and hasn't made any progress since some time :(
 
whats the deal with sources?

is there a set path for attempting to get stuff released?

i suppose, generally, its not the coders who own the rights to the code? Its the publishers right?

Its a shame to think that there must be a load of source out there in the big wide world that will never serve any further purpose....
 
DIABLO, but without a mouss (or a touchpad, humm, who said Nintendo DS :rolleyes: ) it will be different, but still possible, look a the Lord of the Ring GBA games

The System Shock Hack Project has been declared clinically dead for a few years now, so unless someone picks up the reigns it's unlikely.

Go play the Playstation version of Diablo - you'll find that Diablo can be plenty of fun without a mouse. I even prefer the controls in the PS version over the PC version because you don't have to stop and click to pick up items.

My top 5 would be

1) Eye of The Beholder 1&2 (The best Dungeon RPG ever made IMHO)
2) Blood
3) Lord of the Realms (Cool turnbased Statergy)
4) Lemmings
5) Worms

I just hope dosbox is ported to the GP2X so that I can play EOTB. It would be like christmas and my birthday rolled into one... :D

The Legend of Kyrandia is possible and its being worked on by DJwillis in the form of a scummvm port.
Wow wow wow :blink:
I was thinking that scummvm was only for LucasArts games ?
