Games To Port? Tell Me Which.

[Blah]

I want to port more games, but I'm having a problem finding the right ones.
I didn't think it would be, but its really hard finding games with these specs:

Open Source
SDL
320x240
NOT OpenGL
NOT Mouse-driven
Using not more than 8mbs of RAM.

So far, I've only found:

Shippy 1984 (Already ported it)
Angband (not really interested)
Bomb O Bomb (not really interested)
Minesweeper Clone (not really interested)

So I'm wondering if any of you could do better.
C'mon, when does a devver actually ASK you to tell him to port something?

Anyway, I'll check back tommorrow, I have to go now.

Edit: Oh, and I'm speaking of the GP32, NOT the GP2X. I don't have the magical capabilities required to get one, or a devboard...yet

Kobo Deluxe and Gem Drop X qualifies, right?

Maybe search through sourceforge.net with the text string "SDL"

Football Manager on this page would be nice. Or Netrok.

Here you will find alot of opensource games:

GL!

a nice project would be FreeCiv, but it's obviously very big.

Duke Nukem 1 or 2 ?
Commander Keen ?
Eternam ?

(I don't have any knowledge in programming, I hope theses games havec your spec)

 

[Aaaaaaaa]

duke nukem 2d would be soo good

 

[Jaw]

biomenace would be even better

 

[Talyz]

Duke Nukem 1 or 2 ?
Commander Keen ?
Eternam ?

(I don't have any knowledge in programming, I hope theses games havec your spec)

​

They're closed source and not SDL, so nope...

 

[deadlychicken22]

Its always puzzled me..... Why isn't commander keen open source? Hasn't iD released the source for just about every old game they've made? Is it because commander keen doesn't have a loading program? (is that the right term?)

Anyways, back on topic, i'm not sure of any games you could port.

How 'bout SDL Paradroid?

 

[Blah]

Duke Nukem 1 or 2 ?
Commander Keen ?
Eternam ?

(I don't have any knowledge in programming, I hope theses games havec your spec)

​

Can't port 2D Duke Nukem, but there is Dave Gnukem, which does fit the specs.

I think Paradroid is too high res, among other things. Scaling down would suck. But scaling up worked on Shippy, its res is 240x160. Paradroid also would require porting 5 libraries, which I will NOT do.

Netrok...hmm...I'll look into it. Its a canidate!!!
But the MIDI music and sound would have to be replaced. MIDI is unsupported.

Football Manager--I hate football!!

Netrock looks OK. But the name reminds me of Nethack games and how I haven't taken the time to play them yet. How bout one of those games, there are SOO MANY of them.

 

[Blah]

Hmm. Netrock's a no, its CPP, the comments are in German, and both are foreign langauges to me. I want C stuff. Also, I just played Netrock, and it sucks.

I guess its Dave Gnukem then, those old Duke games were fun!

 

[Hooka]

To answer some stuff: there is a SDL commander keen remake... and I thought it was apogee or iD (can't remember which) who published commander keen but I think it was another company who originally made it (ie. coded it) so the source could very well be lost and/or just owned by another company.

Some SDL stuff I found:

Rocks'n'Diamonds, Emerald Mine / Boulder Dash clone. VERY GOOD GAME! With tons of level packs. Looks like the perfect game for a port

Exult (Ultima 7 engine!), only seems to need SDL Default Resolution 320x200, supports OGG sound instead of Midi. And has been a DOS game, so 8 MB should be enough.
Okay, usually, it needs a mouse... but I think that can be changed.

OpenGlad (Gauntlet-like), don't say on the page which libraries they need.

Abe's Amazing Adventure, a scrolling, platform-jumping, key-collecting, ancient pyramid exploring game.

Bubble Train, a puzzle game. Has higher res, but could easily be scaled down.

Hope something of these can be ported (and I really want an Emerald Mine game on my GP32 )

Rocks'n'Diamonds, Emerald Mine / Boulder Dash clone. VERY GOOD GAME! With tons of level packs. Looks like the perfect game for a port

Wait for the gp2x. It needs 20/30 MB of RAM and I'll port it when I get mine.

Sadly there aren't many good games portables to GP32. Most are written in c++ (SDL for GP32 doesn't like it) and the few portables written in C need a lot of memory.

I downloaded two weeks ago every SDL game ever created and tried all of them but, only a few are interesting and/or can be ported to the GP32

Holy cow! It ran with 256kb on Amiga 1000...
