Gta 2 On Gp2x

[Hobo]

hey guys i was just wondering, could u play grand theft auto 2 or 1 on the Gp2x. If u could that would be coooool!

 

[Yuglooc]

Well, have you gotten the source code?

 

[barnesy]

Questions like that one get asked regularly and always get the same answer. Ports of games can only be made if the source code is available. GTA2 is now available for free, but that's only the full game for windows, not the source code.

You could try the GTA 1 or 2 versions that were released on the Gameboy Color once a GBC emulator is available. Not as good as the PC games, but at least a bit of GTA feeling on your machine.

Then there's Grand Theftendo...

GTA Advance was released last year on the GBA. So thats possible!!!

 

[TheTurnipKing]

The game engine is feasible. but there's no code to just compile it. Someone would have to create a whole gta-alike engine from scratch, and I'll tell you this much, it's not going to be me who does it.

It's a shame they didnt release the source code, they've made the game free so may aswell do the source code too or they could had released the source code then charged a small amount for the actual data and still made some money from it.

Whats wrong with gta 1 or 2 on PSONE

 

[Jarska333]

People calling it PSONE, for one.

But they might not run too well on PSX emu on 2X...

 

[daniel_simon_dean]

okay then playstation one, the gp2x should be cabable as there is an emulator for GP32

 

[Jarska333]

Which runs at whoopin' 0.5 frames per second, and was never actually released.

 

[Pie Man]

Yes but the gp2x does have more power so should improve a lot, other games than ridge racers would be a start

 

[yaustar]

Not that much more power especially with no 3D acceleration.

 

[Skitzo]

With some (very) heavy porting of a nix PSX emulator in ASM, you might get it up to 10fps with no sound. Then again, PSX doesn't use floating points, doesn't have a z buffer..

Don't get your hopes up about PSX.

It's a shame Rockstar didn't opensource GTA.

Grand Theftendo would be your best bet.

 

[Ezlo]

GTA was on the GBC, so that shouldn't be a problem.

You could always email Rockstar and ask for the source code, never know until you ask.

 

[Hobo]

maybe i will, maybe i will :rolleyes:

 

[Pie Man]

Yes but it is a lot better on playstation, they are ot comparable

 

[Pie Man]

The PSP is cabable of playstation, i have tryed it and seeems okay, IT Might be better to emulate a dos version of GTA2

 

[Ferentix]

Yes but for that you need a DOS emulator in the first place... and from what I've been reading around these here forums, it is unlikely that a DOS emulator would work very well on GP2X, and especially not for more recent games like GTA. It is a very different architecture that needs to be emulated for a start, and then there's all the other hardware like various soundcards etc...
