I was just wondering if these games would work with the Pandora?

Also has anyone seen if we would be able to get Cave Story ported over since it's no longer open source.

Well, the "Windows only" notice doesn't make me hopeful, and they certainly don't seem to be open source. (EDIT: They apparently require some sort of Windows DLL to even run.)

Regarding Cave Story, though, it's never been open source.

That would figure <_< they are all a pretty fun bunch of games but maybe if we ask him he could work out a port(But like you said I won't be to hopeful about a port.). With Cave Story though, I was thinking that it was open source because someone ported it to PSP and someone started a DS port.

I guess both Authors will need to be asked very nicely for a port then. -_-

Thanks for the quick reply though.

Though I certainly wouldn't want anyone to pester the fellow, I doubt it would hurt to send a short and polite e-mail to ask if the author would consider it. Perhaps when Pandoras are in people's hands, though.

(Regarding Cave Story again, my understanding is that permission was granted for that game to be ported to a few systems.)

That's what I was thinking to wait to send one until they're out that way they might be mor interested in porting it.

Well, cave story was just released on the Wii store (or whatever the hell they call it) for about $5

I'm fairly sure that with all the hysteria and people discovering this gem for the first time, we're not going to get permission for another port until everything calms down a bit.


I could be wrong. Man, wouldn't a cave story port be grand.

Now that people are paying money for it I doubt Pixel could even grant the right to a port even if he wanted to, which I dont think he would because he never seemed too excited about his internet-fame in the interview I read, and after a argument over the licensing rights to actually produce the game for the PSP I'd be shocked if didn't Nintendo probably have the game locked up in a nice tight contract once the wii development began.

But anyway the games on that website sound like they were designed to work in a windows (or at least, WINE) environment. I would think that might mean more than just compiling a Linux version would be necessary.
