GP2X Dreaming Of Descent For The Gp2x

[nubie]

Thanks for encouraging him, Nubie. I'm looking forward to this one, too.

Skeezix says that he doesn't think it is a huge job to do.

He also says that the D2X source is really tweaked with focus on extensions and 3D GPU's.

He started with D1 source and added various hacks to remove the assembler, he said he is willing to send his pre- and post-modified source to anyone who needs it, until he can get some time free to do it himself.

@god_at_hell, I would definitely get this from him , just give him a PM and see if his source can help you.

I remember i thought the game was really hard to stear on pc.. but it will probably get way better with the stearing of GP2X.
Im really looking forward to this!
This is actually the coolest ide for a game in the gp2x i heared of!
I know its impossible to put on a gp2x but have you guys tryed the decent look alike game called "Forsaken"? i loved that game.

If you have forsaken for PS, try it on PSX4GP2X and see if it runs.

Noop sorry.. it´s a pc game i have. did it go for ps to? i didnt know

 

[Khayman]

I know nothing about coding but my friend does and he says that it would be kind of hard to get the descent game to work on a GP2X!
I guess he is just jelous that i have one and not him

The News is, that Zico the author of dxx-rebirth now has a GP2X. After he experiences his little treasure a bit, he said he'll do a port

Wow! There seems to be so much good news at the moment
PSX, GBA, Aleph and now this.
Fingers crossed they all come good.

Well it's good that some people read both the DE and ENG forums, or we might have totally missed that! Thanks for the update God at Hell.

The source for descent can be found at http://liberatedgames.org/.

Yeah, I know I'm posting in an old topic. But I want to know if there's been any news of the port to gp2x. I can't wait. I still remember the good old days of playing descent back on the computer that's now only collecting dust in my basement. I think I still have my cds around somewhere.

 

[Yesideez]

Also interested here.

Would love to be able to play it.

Why not port the gp32 version?

 

[halo9]

try it on PSX4GP2X and see if it runs.

I've been trying Descent on the GP2x PSX emu on every version so far. Not found it playable on yet. A few fps at 270MHz I reckon..

Theres a gp32 version of Descent ?! wth how could people miss that!

There is no GP32 version of Descent. He's putting us on.

 

[craigix]

I'm pretty sure there is.

One google later:

google cache (real page is dead) scroll down... don't know if the files are around anymore.

Nope:

I was porting Descent (D1x opensource) to GP32.
hmm.. currently stopped. too bad for ya.

But thanks for doing our homework for us, Craig :lol:

 

[craigix]

He might have stopped working on it but it still worked, it was just very slow. So that might be an indication of how it will run on the gp2x.

I'll see if i can find the gp32 version, i may have it on my old laptop, i used to download and archive every gp32 release.

"New status about this:
I will begin with the port for the GP2X when the next version of DXX is out.
This may take some time, but I really want to improve the code a bit more so every user (PC & ARM/GP2X) can profit."
