Want Something Ported? Look Here First!

[GurtyGurt]

The best thing to do is before you request a port of something, look to see if the source code is public first. Google for it or something. Find some hits and post them too. And check to see you're not just looking at like, a level editor's source or something...

good info

 

[shotaway]

can we ask for remakes

 

[generalnmx]

can we ask for remakes

If the graphics, sound, music, and game design are all available, and game could potentionally run on a GP32, then yes, you can ask. But make sure you say REMAKE and not port, and link to whatever resources are available.

Actually, I am in the middle of making a remake from a PS1 game myself.

Duke 3d
it's been said in a different topic already but without the links, so here you go

sdl-duke for linux:
http://www.icculus.org/duke3d/

open-duke (sdl/opengl-duke for linux with either gl or software-rendering)
http://openduke.sourceforge.net/

a duke3d-source-portal
http://dukenews.fragland.net/portal/

and finally the code itself:

Im new to these forums and haven't got a gp32 yet but can twit to get one just as soon as i get my crimbo money, ive noticed that there are some great ports of pc games such as doom and heretic oh and all the lucasarts games (im especially looking forward to playing sam & max on the go) but ive noticed no one has ported duke nukem 3d, is this possible or is somone already working because it would make a great addition to the shooters on gp32.

Hmm this port has been discussed before, but as yet I don't think anyone has took up the task yet. Apparently there is something missing or difficult to overcome in the GP32's hardware to make it easy to port.

would half-life be possible to port it's based on the quake 1 engine?????

 

[Twimfy]

No, Half life is a highly modified version of the Quake 1 engine, the fact that Quake is barely playable makes it even more unlikely.

 

[Seijuro]

Halflife even uses an enhanced version of the Q2 engine, which itself is an enhanced version of the Q1 engine, so....oh and there are no sources for it either, and if you look at its size... :rolleyes:

 

[Ernest]

yeah i suspose, oh well it was wishful thinking.

 

[Ernest]

I saw that there was half-life doom total conversion for gp is it any good??

 

[Shadow of Chaos]

it would be nice to think of games like half life being on gp32, but i really dont think the system is hardly powerful enough but then when you wonder how this guy is going to port a great looking 3D gta clone game... hmm :unsure: maybe its not a question of if it is possible, but if they have the sources to do it.

 

[jegHegy]

he's not talking about a HL port, but the HL TC for Doom Falken80 made usable for GPDoom.

Hey, you could look on google for the coding of duke nukem. It would be hard to find the coding for it but it must be out there somewhere. you can get anything on the internet.
I'm not a game writer but I do know that you can get anything if you look.
I dont know if it would work but I got a ps emulator for my computer once and it didnt work so i went into my computer and explored the disk and it had all the files in there. They were all file extensions I've never seen before but you could veiw them in note pad so give that a try.
It might just work.

 

[trooper]

It has to be done legally. <_<

With permission from the relevant people or if the source code is available, Not by ripping the guts out of someone elses work.

REMAKE

Crusader: No Remorse/Regret! BOOYA! It's too bad that Origin Systems Inc. has been basicly dissovled though; the makers. Ultima 8 wouldn't be a bad idea either, let alone any of the Ultimas.

Info on Crusader: No Remorse

Info on Crusader: No Regret

A team that seems to be working on remaking Ultima 8/No Remorse/Regret for PC. Not much info on their Sourceforge site though.

These games don't seem to take up too much space. About 50 megs or so for Crusader: No Remorse w/o movies.

 

[Seraptin]

isnt the doke3d code opensource now ?
i think i have read something about that in the i-net

 

[Timpas]

I want duke nukem 3d playable on my Gp32 B)
