Rts Games On Pandora

[Capn_Fish]

If source became available, I would drool all over myself(more than usual) for Age of Empires 2 The Conquerors.

Love that game even more than curling.

I actually tried to ask MS if they'd release the source for the Age of Kings engine, but got referred to a a helpline where "they would be better suited to answer my inquiry." In short, I was on hold for a good deal of time and eventually hung up.

I may try again, though, as AoE II is probably the best RTS ever (IMO, feel free to disagree).

BosWars is pretty good, and that runs on the Stratagus engine.

There's also always the mother of all RTSes: Dune 2 which I think should run just fine on Dosbox.

If not the Amiga version will almost certainly run fine!

Command and conquer 1 and 2?


I just hope I can get Red Alert running on my Pandora. (Possibly with the Aftermath data as well)

Oh hell yeah red alert!



Wait, is red alert possible???

Red Alert is possible with PSX emulation (However, I can not vouch for how good the PSX version is, I've heard mixed reviews). If someone ports FreeRA or FreeCNC, Red Alert should be possible using the PC data. And if DOSBox has enough power, then it might be able to play Red Alert as well.

I didn't mean to imply that it is, I'd just be really happy if it was.

Oh yeah, I forgot that Red Alert had a dos version. Bad ass. I still have it, LOVE that game. The FreeRA would work too.... nice. I hope it works out.......

Yea, Red Alert is what got me into RTSes. I still think that the Red Alert games beat all other RTSes hands down.

Maybe cut some quotes out. It would be far easier to scroll and read

Red alert on the pandora would basically complete my life. It would be great on dosbox, because the psx version isn't as good. Better still, if online play could be integraded I could play god ginari in a pandora to pandora red alert duel. Happy thoughts.

 

[Capn_Fish]

Red Alert would be especially appealing to many people because you can now download it for free.

Now that we have 256mb RAM, we can port Spring properly. Here's its requirements:

* 1 GHz single core CPU
* 256 MB of RAM
* 64 MB Nvidia Geforce 3 graphics card
* Roughly 100 MB of hard drive space, depending on how many maps and mods you download with the installer.

 

[Vorporeal]

I wouldn't quite say properly. You need 64MB graphics RAM as well as the 256MB system RAM. Maybe if someone worked with the developers on reducing the memory footprint a bit, it could be possible. Second, it would have to be totally ported over to OpenGL ES 2.0, which could be a very big feat for an engine as complex as Spring seems to be. Finally, we'd have to make sure that the processor requirement is met. If we overclock the Cortex to 900MHz, we could probably do it.

So it would be possible, but would require a VERY experienced dev to port it (and probably work with the Spring dev team on the port).

That would be fun. I would very much enjoy doing that.

Other players are always welcome. Let's just hope it actually becomes possible. ^_^;

Red Alert was my first RTS as well.

Mine too . We have dos version too but only one disadvantage is the small 320x200 resolution.
Well, there is PSX version too but we have to use analog pad to handle cursor <_<.

I'm fairly sure openredalert will compile with no problems at all - it is based on sdl which is already ported

 

[GuchaRU]

Heh RA is good and I hope it will be on the pandora, but my first RTS is Dune2 on the Genesis) so I don't even need anything except genesis emulator which will be at the start to play it)

Wait a minute. Aren't you the dev for OpenRedAlert? I though I saw you on other forums posting that you were the dev for it. o_ô
