Code

Did anyone try this 2d version of halo? Would it be possible for gp2X? I'd love to be able to play any sort of halo game on a handheld, even if its not the good one.

So this is the bad one? Nicely put.

Doesn't look like Halo Zero has source code to me. Ports require source code!

Lol oh right I'm really noobish about this kinda thing so I wouldn't know where to look

 

[Goity]

it needs 1ghz processor iirc

 

[Yuglooc]

true

I'm tempted to start the stickies again.

Not portable. It was written in Multimedia Fusion.

Even if you get past that, there's also no public source code.

You have to admit though, if this was on the gp2x it would be freaking awesome. Just show it to any halo fanboy and their jaw would drop.

Wasnt some guy porting a 3D Halo clone to the gp2x?

Yeah he was asking for donations so he could get the free devkit.

 

[Ferentix]

Yes indeed

Now I'm curious though... I took a look at Halo Zero, and like Goity already said, it needs a 1GHz processor... but why? Looking at the game, it doesn't really look all that demanding, so unless there's some seriously complex work behind the scenes it appears to be ridiculously resource hogging :huh:

Or is it just because MMF runs a whole lot of stuff not always needed by a game, regardless? I've never looked at it, so I don't know...

EDIT:

OK, system requirements...

>> A 1ghz Processor
>> 256mb of RAM
>> 22mb free disk space
>> A mouse
>> A high speed internet connection

That seems an awful lot for a game that looks like it could be achieved on, say, a SNES :blink:. OK, so a SNES would not have an OS and other apps running in the background, but still...
