No source code = No port


However it brings me to wonder how we got, Baldurs gate and such to work.


I think the source code for the games engine was open source, and we only needed that to run Baldurs gate files, or perhaps we emulated the engine.


In which case, arent the first 2 fallout games on the same engine as Baldurs Gate?

Thats not true.


A port without source is possible and has allready been done many times. Its much more complicated and you have 2 routes to go. You can rebuild the engine or can recompile.


Examples of recompiled ports without source are X-Com and Albion.


MHT mentioned he is working on a recompiler that can do Fallout 1 and 2 on Pandora. I dont know how far he is with this.

Which is what the rest of my post talks about.

Thanx to DOSBOX, tried CPU Speed 950 and it's really slow.

 

[NESnero]

Holy hell you nearly gave me a heart attack of joy when i saw the pictures.

 

[BAFelton]

However it's not really playable. I'm not sure what settings I could change in Dosbox to improve it.


My cycles are MAX.

 

[Darkknight512]

I think you can improve it by dropping the cycles.

I would be very grateful if someone ported Fallout. This is one of those games that I would like to see on my Pandora!

Hmmm... http://www.freedroid.org/ ? It's diable(sic) like. but very beta.


EDIT: I stand corrected.

Freedroid has been in active development for maybe 8 or 9 years now, I think. It's very much a complete game that you can play and enjoy. New features are being added and old ones improved regularly. The game is complete but apparently expanding.


When I first tried it several years ago it was full of heavy handed anti-Microsoft propaganda that I didn't agree with which made it very hard to enjoy the game. Subtle jabs I can appreciate, but this was 5 hours of non-stop "Microsoft is bad and Bill Gates is the devil himself" kind of story. Apparently that has been greatly altered and is a much better game because of it.

 

[gruso]

That was confusing, I saw Freedroid and thought of this: http://repo.openpand...freedroid-11219 (which I must figure out how to play).


Apologies in advance for any undue excitement.

That was the last time I tried it and I haven't tried it since. Didn't know it was complete. Guess I'll give another go one of these days.

Well you can stay excited because they also have Freedroid Classic which is a remake of Paradroid

 

[gruso]

Oh wow, so they are based on the same thing? http://www.freedroid.org/old/screenshots.php?d=classic


(Disclaimer: I don't know much about Paradroid)

 

[ikreos]

I guess they are. Come to think of it I didn't even pay attention to their site change.


(Disclaimer: I don't know much about Paradroid... Either.)


Edit:


There's also Vulture's Eye an isometric front-end for Nethack.


(Maybe this thread should be split.)
