Gta Clone

[parag0n]

i've done some searching, and it appears there was some talk last year of a GP32 GTA clone, which i think was scrapped due to lack of resources...

Heres one thread
And Another

So, maybe a group of enterprising hackers could make a lovely GTA clone for our shiny new(ish) gp2x's?

What you want is a port of this

Help me beg the developer to make a GP2X port. Really this a VERY VERY good game and would be awsome to have a port on the gp2x with a nice little price.

It's certainly not impossible that they would do a GP2X version. They have a version for Amiga for fuck's sake, and that platform has been dead for a long time now. I've been hoping they'd ship the GBA version to North America for some time now.

I wrote a GTA game a few years ago when I was just learning how to program games. I've gotten way, way, way better since then, but it might be useful for some purpose. It uses SDL, but it's probably not directly portable without an ARM port of SDL_gfx...

I'd be happy to help out with programming advice for anyone approaching this project with some prior experience though. I know a lot more about game development (for example, framerate independence) than I did when I wrote this hunk of crap.

Or just a GBA emu....

​

Porting SDL_gfx is pretty trivial; it's just a bunch of C source files that you can add to your project, then compile for the GP2X.

Last time I used it, it had a stack of X86 ASM in it... perhaps this has changed.

Hi Bob,

Interesting. I'll look into it.

Cheers,

A GTA-like game would be really cool to see for the GP2X... some more ammunition against the PSP-GTA fanboys ;D

 

[Scratch]

this would severely rule

I am gonna send begging mail too ...
Any Gta-like game is welcome
and indeed you would have some ammo against psp fanboys

"do you have a matrix-styled pause? i don't think so, liberty city stories, pfuh... "

​

Stop hoping, it's fucking terrible :lol:

I liked it. It's no great accomplishment technically, gameplay-wise or in terms of control, but it's there and it works.

It appears this is happpening

/me does the happy dance

​

have you played GTA on the psp? god, it's rubbish. i played it for about 5 seconds and immediately decided it wasn't worth any more of my time.

OK, EvilDragon just showed on GIGA-Games (Crappy German TV-Show) the first version of a PAYBACK-Port

 

[parag0n]

Apparently, its just a tech demo showing off 3D on the gp2x, not a real game

 

[craigix]

It isn't a payback port, it is just a 3d demo to show commercial developers what the gp2x can do.
