Is it possible to have X-Wing on gp32??

that would be cool!
 
x-wing , that old stawwars space shooter from lucasarts!
 
Doesn't look too open source to me ;) I've never heard of that, so I dunno how much the gfx would take up, but unless it either uses a lucasarts engine or is open source, then no and this will be pinned...

EDIT:

CPU: 200 MHz or faster CPU required.
Memory: 32MB RAM required
Software rendering only: 2MB PCI or AGP Graphics card required
3D Hardware support: 4MB PCI or AGP Direct 3D Graphics Accelerator Required

Doesn't look like it could be even if it was open-source
 
Thats the requirements for X-Wing alliance.

The original X-Wing would run on the gp32, however its not open source. It could probably run on a 486 or 386 emulator though.
 
I did actually think about doing an X-wing clone, (or rather Tie Fighter, never really played X-wing). But then I realised that building an entire 3d engine is pretty hard.
And the small screen/limited controls of the GP32 would make it really akward to design.
 
i have the original X-Wing and without chatboard support there's not enough buttons to do all the keyboard commands, you would need tons of buttons, so unless you seriously cut down some buttons, I don't see this being playable enjoyable.
 
Lets get this straight

NO PORTS ARE (PRACTICALLY) POSSIBLE IF YOU CANT GET THE SOURCE CODE.

And lucasarts are one of the least likely to release the sources for their stuff...
 
something like that ?

I was working on it before KOF91, and will work on it soon...

btw, don't expect a megahit...I'm not mithris...

Well, if you take this, and some of the Elite: The New Kind source port, you'll soon have a very very cool 3D game...

rtb7, you came out of no-where with the best fight engine the GP has at the moment (at least, the best native one), and now you're coming out with this. I hope you never put your hand to world domination...

rcx: you weren't even born when x-wing was released :p

back on topic, x-wing was one of my favorite games back then, so Thor, don't hesitate to finish that game of yours! it might get my bro to buy a gp32 for himself >D
 
>> rtb7, you came out of no-where

no where ? no, just from the NGPC scene, but I was the last (when flavor and spiv bought a gp32) and felling alone, I bought a gp32 too...
The NGPC is not enough powerful for a 3D game (even if my 3D engine on this machine was working well), so I'm trying to code a 'XW vs TF like', but my gfx is too lazy atm to make me a XWing. And with KOF, I was too busy to continue it...
but soon this year !
