Oh, the memories. I played the original Elite forever on my A500

wow, this rocks! I was unaware that Elite2 has been ported! I've been playing it under dosbox for years! The memories....

It was a resistor.
Oh, that game looks awesome.
I am becoming nostalgic for things I never heard of. When I ordered the Pandora, I thought it would pull me into gaming, a pleasant side-effect of an awesome umpc ((whatever you want to call it). But it's doing so already! I don't even OWN one yet!

The best and probably easiest version to port is here: http://tom.noflag.org.uk/glfrontier.html

The original poster wanted Frontier - Elite 2, and that's what I answered
My all time favorite game is elite a game i would buy a Pandora for.
Always wanted to play this portable the Gameboy version was OK but i missed the keyboard (i did not even play it on a Gameboy i use a Gameboy emulator on a Archos gmini 400).
I never got really interested in Frontier but now i might give it a go (ported ore on a emulator).
That Frontier was ever ported to GP2X i was not aware of and it would be awesome to see it ported to the Pandora.
But i think Frontier and Elite would work perfect on one of the supported emulators.
Never the less i would love to see a port of Oolite.

wow, if glfrontier can be compiled on linux, then it will work on pandora natively, 100%! Just a very little bit of porting effort required.
But is it Elite2, or some other version? (I want elite2)

Pandora won't have OpenGL, but OpenGL ES, so some work definitely is neededcosurgi said:
Frontier is Elite 2.

Frontier was one of few games that I really was drawn into. It had such an atmosphere and it really felt like you were a space pirate. Good game indeed. A port to the Pandora and I would cry happy tears.
Pickle are you on it?

Well I've ported Oricutron to Angstrom, so it won't be much of a stretch to add the new l33t game (see defence-force.org/forums) to the list of "Elite"-like games to play ..

Bump!!
Anyone? I have not done any gl to gles conversions yet, but very much looking forward to this game. So i hope someone else with more experience in that area is interested as well
Otherwise, i might have a go, but time is already so limited...
Cheers
p.s. GPFrontier through ginge does not work for me

The bad news with OOlite is not so much opengl as it is objective-C which requires NextStep tools - basically I guess it could be done but with that chunk of dependencies it would be a royal pita!MarkoeZ said:Bump!!

didn't one of the guys release the asm source for the original elite - a genuine port would be nice - but i bet it would run just fine with dos box on the pandi...

Ermmm, this is still about frontier, not oolite
there is a port for the gp2x already, so how hard could it be :S

There IS no port of OOLITE for the GP2x, since i am talking about FRONTIER, as stated in that post, lol
Major miscommunication here
Im not a native english speaker, so my sentences may sometimes have multiple interpretations possible.
Anyway, Cheers!
