Windows Games Running On Gpx2 Question

[Joshwaan2k]

Hi Guys

I'm new so be nice hehe. I've been reading through the forums and got some really good info from some of you.

I'm purchasing a GPX2 Mk1 off of icurafu, which is cool because we both live in the same country.

My question is with games like Quake, Doom, Wolf3d and others running on the GPX2, why not games like Carmageddon, Blood, System Shock?

Thanks for taking the time to read my post.

Cheers

Josh

Windows games don't run on the gp2x. Any old games you can play have either been ported to the gp2x from the original source code, re-written from scratch, or they're being played through emulators. In the case of Quake, Doom, Wolf3d etc they have been ported from the original source which was only possible because the copyright owner very kindly decided to give the source away. Carmageddon and Blood are still closed source and so it's not possible to port them.
