Homeworld

[mittens]

I read a topic about Freespace porting and it reminds me the one of the most games I loved.

Homeworld.

- I believe no one mention about it since I keep reading news / general talk about pandora
- Well, I might be slipped it and being boob then sorry.

There is the Homeworld SDL project. So I believe it is possible to be ported for pandora.
But I still don't know the HW SDL is good enough for original fans.

How about the Wine? Homeworld and Homeworld 2 are great on the Wine in any Linux platform.
If pandora has enough horse power, it might be possible.

Any guess?

Wine is Not an Emulator. It will not run on the Pandora since the Pandora does not have an x86 processor.
HW SDL is a possibility.

Do you have a link to the source code, so that any potentially interested parties can take a look at it and perhaps see if it's feasible?

WINE won't work here, as the Pandora uses an ARM processor, whilst WINE requires an x86 processor. This is because WINE does not emulate anything, but merely "translates" calls that were intended to run on one x86 operating system (Windows), in order to let them run on a different x86 operating system (the x86 versions of Linux or Mac OS X).

EDIT: Looks like I was a little too slow.

Ah. Thanks for fast replay.

I have no idea Wine need an x86

Then, the only hope is the Homeworld SDL (http://www.homeworldsdl.org/) sigh.

Thanks anyway.

This it what the name Wine means: Wine Is Not an Emulator

Now all stop about wine!

Topic edited so the thread's not emphasizing the possibility of Wine. It's probably likely to cause flames here, and that part of the conversation is pretty much over, I think.
