News About A Possible Homeworld Sdl Port

[Julius]

Someone has decided to take up development of the Homeworld Linux port and a new PC version has been recently released:

There is even some talk about a GP2X port (since two developers seem to have one):

And just as a reminder:

And yes my bounty of 30€ is still there

That'd be awesome. It would probably be pretty slow under the GP2X but I bet if they turned the graphics down considerably it would be playable.

By the way, GP2X works under a true Linux 2.6 kernel but I am not totally used to work on this environment...

I didn't know that gp2x works under kernel 2.6

It doesn't It's a 2.4 kernel. But I am glad there is at least some interest in this.
Personally I think this is one of the greatest ports that could be done on a handheld (The game and the expansionpack + a lot of custom level), but maybe that is just me
