Duke Nukem

[bourbon]

Idk if duke nukem's sorce code was ever released but i was thinking it would be cool to be able to play the orginal duke nukem on a gp32_console.

it was, but afaik it's pretty much like the original quake - loads of floating point maths which would make it extremely slow. The only reason Quake is fast now is because people are porting the I-based PocketQuake, and not the original FP-based version.

@bourbon you've always got the doom pwad version if you're just desperate for a game

PocketQuake has fixed point, but I don't think it was ever completed and it's all currently disabled in our port. The reason for the speed increase is the fantastic floating point stuff in gcc 3.4.

 

[Squidge]

Oh right, I assumed the floating point to fixed point support was completed. I stand corrected

Maybe Duke wouldn't make such a bad port overall then !

Try Porting Duke

Duke3D's engine is the single messiest kludgefest I've ever seen put into a computer. I'm surprised it runs at all.

No not duke nukem 3D im talken about the first duke nukem that was 2D. Its more like an arcade game than a shoot'em up.

Try Porting Duke

I have plans to attempt a port, but not yet as I've too many other projects. Maybe in a couple of months or so. Want to enhance and finish my C64 & Lynx emu's first.

Are you cleaning up the C64 emu for the GP32 or just the Zodiac?

Cool, I still play Duke3D on the saturn to this very day. A gp32 port would be awsome.

Woah, never even saw this. I have never played this game, so I can't really comment.

The C64 emu is for the Zodiac, yes. The GP32 already has a decent C64 emu.

[El_Diablo]

Dave Gnukem is more or less a opensource remake to the original Duke 2d game as for duke3d its been ported to the gba(commercial) in places you can see the framedrop but most the game is quite fast
