I'm optomistic to a fault so why not, if your volentering to do it good on you. I'm tired of people saying things are not possible because there is no source available. Valve spent about 3 years adding very advanced technology to the quake engine - skeleton animation, advanced team AI, scripted...
your thinking of "win32s" the 32 bit extensions for win 3.11 -- I remember it let you run some stuff designed for win95 but I doubt people supported it for very long after 95 came out.
Bochs running on the gp2x is amazing I will try freedos when I get a chance.
ravuya is right this is just a patch to install Dune for the amiga onto harddisk -- sorry guys bit disapointing :~( "Find Gurney and take an orni..." when I get a chance ill look into it porting it more carefuly but I dont think I have the cd rom anymore. The engine wasnt very complitated but...
It would be nice to have an version of Xdialog a linux tool for creating all kinds of dialog boxes from the command shell... It would be esp. nice if it had a file chooser and a skinable interface. This could all be done with SDL
yer me too WHEN IS SOME ONE GOING TO PORT LBA!!!
....oh yer I was supposed to be doing it :) sorry I've been busy -- I'll get on with it as soon as I have time.
Has anyone started or is anyone intrested in starting writing benchmarks to work out what the gp2x hardware is really capable of and where bottle necks might be?
I've just ported my standalone lba video player to the gp2x just to see how hard crosscompiling is -- went well after I found out that a char is not aways signed :) anyway no sound yet im still working out the file format for that from yaz0rs original twin-e source - maybe a week to get the...
My €0.02
The only good thing (with any commodor credibility) are the F1 and F2 keys... The rest of it is crap, it looks like a baby monitor, its bulky as hell, it odviously has no shoulder buttons but worst of all its being released with nes titles??? wtf its a commodor! ""Another unique...
I havent tryed yet - I dont think I will have to much of a problem with that.
I'll fill you in on the current state of the project:
DUGS
Sounds are not stopable
Sounds can dont vary pitch (discrete noises dont work properly etc)
Movies arent scalled to fullscreen.
Movies do not play sound...
screen res is still a problem I looked at rescaling everything on load (tiles/bricks and gui) but everything is all over the place would probably take too long but would be the right thing to do ... for now I'll just try to scale it before the flip but it will be slow esp. if it requires writing...
Hi guys -- its always nice to meet people who love lba :) -- I started work on a port of twin-e as soon as I got my gp2x. I've patched the cvs to enable sound, fix video timeing and some animation timing and varius crashes on linux. I started on some serius refactoring (a lot of the code has...
Overhead 3d game ay; which would work on the 2x and would be worth while to port ...... humm time for some pointless guessing....
LBA, Fallout, Ultima?? oh I give up.
