Mechcommander 1

[DBH]

I have not seen the source for this released but probably might be out there, but how feasible do you think MechCommander 1 / Gold would be on a GP2X. I remember I was able to run it on a pentium 120Mhz back in the day very good game as well! ... 6 years old roughly now the game is.

No source code.

There's source-code for MechCommander 2, but it's under a MSFT Shared Source license and requires DirectX 8 as well as a pretty substantial investment in 3D hardware.

Also: How would you play without a mouse? I remember it to be quite nasty control wise... I think it would play horrible without a mouse.

lack of source notwithstanding, you would have better luck (and more fun) with ports of the older mech games. in the late 80s and early 90s there was a long series of hex-map turn-based mech command strategy/combat games. ill try to find some of mine, ive got boxes and floppies around here somewhere. great games. might even run in DOSBOX...

doh

Mind you MechWarrior 2 would be awesome on a GP2X lol. I remember the PS1 had it as well didnt it? PC version be better though..

Presumably if the PS1 had it then there is a possibility (and I use that in the least likely sense) of it eventually working and (for that matter) running acceptably on PSx4GP2x. However, whilst I've every hope for Zodttd, U-nai and Chui to succeed with flare, I suspect it'll be a long haul before we get close.

The source for MechCommander 2 has been relised I think.... so the question is why it isn´t relised for MechCommander 1 .... or is it?

MC1 was produced by a different company, for a different publisher, before Microsoft's purchase of FASA Interactive.
