Release Starcraft

[rohezal]

I spended years on the battlenet and in the campaign to fight the zergs back. SCVs didn't auto repair buildings.

Great work.

Can you maybe do the Same with Diablo2 ?

That would be cool too

Another game to look at is Strike Commander.

Currently Fabien Sanglard it's working on reverse engineering this game source are here

Notaz, can you provide zipped WINE package for ARM? i'd might prepare something extra from this..

 

[Farox]

A curiosity ...for Notaz

How is that the PND is not possible to open with 7Zip or similar ?

What tools have you used to build it ? Or is a hidden feature of PND ?

I'm curious

Thanks

It should be in the code::blocks pnd already.

then it's squashfs

 

[commander-beef]

some of pnd [in windows] are made with mkisofs, but in linux squasfs is used. mkisofs-ones are extractable via 7z.. 

 

[mcobit]

Even squashfs ones can be extracted with 7zip afaik. Can't they?

 

[FamilyGuy]

Big cheers on that achievement Notaz! Impressing! And now I've spend the night reading about static recompilation and drifted on self-modifying code. BTW this seems like it could help for self-modifying code, if anybody does that in the future. http://andrewkelley.me/post/jamulator.html#dirty-assembly-tricks

Next is Half-Life 2? (Joke c'mon!)

Cheers!

He, actually, I just looked and you can buy the game in Germany for 3,90 EUR online

http://www.gameliebe.com/starcraft-broodwar-download-online-kaufen.html

That's simply a key for StarCraft + Broodwar on battle.net, so  yay, pretty neat price

Yay, good find.

Thank you, I purchased it immediately. 

I hope the game will run on my 600Mhz Pandora.

Cool, didn't knew this site yet. You even can pay with PaySave there, perfect.

Hmm, it seems the approach is quite different though, what I did is just translation without reversing anything, so I don't know anything about the formats the game uses and such. What is done there is full reverse engineering and reimplementaion, which includes figuring out all game data and save formats.

It builds quite easily from source ( https://github.com/notaz/wine ), but if you insist I can tar it up for you.

Wine takes a lot of space so I used squashfs with xz compression. unsquashfs on Linux extracts it fine.

Video, sorry for the shaky camera, plus poor control while holding my phone. Just uploaded so may be low res for a few more minutes.

Amazing, thanks

 

[Hồng Thất Công]

Max Payne please

Ugh... yeah this didn't come accross as a joke.


Note: use the or :lol: smiley to imply cheekiness or write "just kidding" *ducks* or something...

Actually now that I think of it, I'm not joking and hope notaz prove all of doubters wrong once again

 

[FaeMinx]

There are some heavy slow downs whenever a door opens or an auto turret appears on an 'inside' level.

You can already play Max Payne perfectly on Android on Pandora. We don't need a port. Plus notaz mentioned that this method works best with games that have software rendering and not directx calls -> so you can forget about the relatively recent 3d games, and Max Payne is one of them.

OK I see the crash in first protoss mission. it would have helped if you mentioned it was expansion one, was trying original first.

Yeah it would make much more sense to support it in apkenv, that would avoid any GL issues as it's OpenGL ES already.
