Port Requests

[Zaknafein21]

I am not sure if they exist, but a port a the Alien vs. Predator for the Atari Jaguar? Snatcher for Sega CD. The really awful Zelda games on CDi?

Yeeeah AVP.. But why the Atari version?


It seems that the Sourcecode is available.

Colors!

Could someone add this app request to the Wiki, that'd be appreciated. Thanks

Added to the wiki.


I never really saw what was so brilliant about Colors!, as opposed to other painting programs, but some people swear by it.

i would LOVE it if i could play me some GLTron on my new panda... so much fun!


it's cross-platform and open-source...


sadly for some reason the main site is down but it's all still downloadable on sourceforge here.


how easy would this be to do?

Armagetron Advanced is already on the wiki

Armagetron Advanced is already on the wiki

It'd be pretty hard to play that game on the Pandora: no ability to double/triple bind. Oh, wait... Shoulder buttons and dpad. Duh. :rolleyes:

i'm aware, but i've always enjoyed gltron much more. the extensive customization, the ai, etc.


also, considering this, it really shouldn't be terribly difficult

Hello guys,


I'm the one that proted GLTron to Symbian so I can tell you few things, first it wasn't that easy


porting it .


I can give you the latest sources, they are adapted to OpenGL ES and you can use it as a starter point.


Also the game uses SDL.

This sounds really great! Please make the sources avaiable, maybe in a new post in the general dev section.


Thank you very much!

I've uploaded the latest source to my blog get it here

[mcobit]

Please forgive me, if I say something stupid, but shouldn't there be some configure script or Makefile in there?

 

[Ronen K]

There is in the original GLTron I use Carbide which has it's own project files and structures I thought it would be useless to you.


You can download the original sources from http://sourceforge.net/projects/gltron/


and then overwrite those with my files and try to compile.


(If only I had a pandora....)

[mcobit]

Well I have not much experience with this, so maybe someone who actually knows what he is doing here could try?


PM me if you want to compile on my Pandora via ssh or vnc.

 

[Ronen K]

Unfortunately I do not have the time to tackle another platform right now, Symbian keeping me very busy.

oooh... could this actually become a reality‽‽‽‽ this would be the most exciting thing since... well, probably since my pandora came! eternal love to any person that does this!

 

[bzar]

Is that... an interrobang?

1. rtcw is already on port requests


2 . Pickle is already working on a port

Hmm, did you notice it was on hiatus? ^^" I'll try to port this if im good enough and pickle hasnt made it yet. I loved this back in 2005.

Since fheroes 2 is the best port on pandora at the moment I must admit a heroes of might and magic 3 port would be crazy awesome

I found something open source which I am a bit surprised no one have even discussed on the boards before. Remember the good ol' Macintosh Classic? I found a very small, very good emulator (for windows) for it yesterday and after a bit of fiddling I got some of my old Mac Classic games to actually work on it (Hurrah!). However, it would be really nifty if it could run on the Pandora.


The Emulator is named Mini vMac and can be found on http://minivmac.sourceforge.net/, open source and already can be found ported to things such as iPhone, Nintendo DS and what not.

I just read this and couldn't agree more. I would really love an old mac emulator on pandora, i think it might appeal to a lot of longtime mac users. Apple made the complete system 7.5.3 (part 1 of 19) available many years ago if that helps at all. This os ran on all the way up to a power mac 9500, so think of it as DosBox if DOS was the only PC os available till 1996.


Many original games available like Dark Castle, Glider, etc. And many apps - there's something super cool about using Photoshop 3 on a little b&w screen. Anyway thanks for listening.

I'd like to see a port of Micropolis, the open source version of SimCity.

The source is there, it should have no problems running on the pandora.
