Release OHRRPGCE on Pandora

[SiegfriedCroes]

Hi, I'm new here on the forums, I became interested in homebrew/opensource a while ago. First I was looking at homebrew for DS but then someone linked me to a site where I saw the Pandora. I knew right away that this was the system I needed! I always wanted to make my own games, and of course it would be awesome to play them on a handheld system!

Now, back to what this topic is about. Would it be great to make an RPG on the Pandora itself even if you are not a programmer? In the past I used a program called OHRRPGCE which means Official Hamster Republic Role Playing Game Construction Engine (you can forget the full name right away). It's a very simple program to make Final Fantasy (on Super Nintendo) like games without any programming. On the site http://www.hamsterrepublic.com/ohrrpgce I saw that there is a linux version (and a sourcecode). Would it be able to run on the Pandora, I wonder?

OHRRPGCE is written in FreeBASIC. In order to port it to Pandora there would have to be a version of FreeBASIC for ARM-elf-Linux, and currently there is not one. Porting the compiler portion of FreeBASIC would be no small task, although I'm sure it would benefit a lot more than just this program.
