Gp2x Chess?

[skaboy]

Hi all,

I'm aware of Mystic Chess but have been unable to get it to load on my GP2X: does it work and if so, how do I install it (I followed the readme), or is it GP32 only? In case the latter is true, are there any other homebrew Chess games for the GP2X?

I've got the Amiga emulator and I have Chess ROMs for that but I'd prefer to be able to just boot a Chess program without getting into the emu first.

Any help would be gratefully received.

I'd love a native chess game too.. although Battle Chess is a lot of fun till then

Maybe porting this game is an option. It's open source.

Cool looking game

Judgeing by the graphics I'm led to believe that it uses Open GL ,and thus impossible for the gp2x.

at this time.

"The Brutal Chess engine is, as of May 2006, still in development. Internally the game runs on libraries from SDL and FreeType. Brutal Chess in its entirety is written in C++"
SDL makes me happy
FreeType on 2x though?

FreeType has no other dependencies and is easy to port.

It does look cool but I think I'd prefer a traditional 2D layout.

Sorry to blow your bubble but

Check out the UI section..

Granted it doesn't say it requires GL so maybe its only used for the cool 3d stuff
