thats just the engine. it doesnt matter anyways, the last 3 pages have proven that someone has worked on it...
That is just the client "game" code without the engine. I don't see that anyone has worked on this for the 3ds - am I missing something? Or are you referring to the q1 mod?
That's the source for the game, not the engine. Xash3d is the open source engine, the most important part.
The quake mod uses the actual game assets, it's basically half-life running on the quake engine ( in which goldsrc is based ). The Doom wad is more of a skinned map pack.
You say that the Wii couldn't, but I think it could. Half-Life was put onto both the Dreamcast and the PS2, and in terms of power, the Wii is more powerful than both of those, so I have a feeling that it could handle Half-Life.
But I think architectural differences in hardware would inhibit the port. ;-;
Like it was said before, that's just the game code. The open source compatible engine is Xash3D, and for it to be ported to the 3ds it would require a major rewrite.
Xash3D, is an open source implementation of the GoldSRC engine. It's already been ported to Android, Windows, OS X, and Linux. It uses SDL so maybe someone could port it to the 3DS. I have it on my phone and it runs half life and CS1.6 fine.
It's not that simple, even with a decent SDL port for the 3DS the renderer would have to be rewitten and the engine would have to be adapted to allow static linking of the game.
Based on these projects somebody could begin to port it to 3DS. But it would be a lot of work.

As stated 2 posts above... SDL is not the important part, the openGL renderer would have to be rewritten and the engine adapted to be statically linked to the game as well as avoiding the memory issues.
Even the Dreamcast can run Half-Life. If someone ported it I think the n3DS would be more than capable, also considering the specs and system requirements.

@SylverReZ, I also heard one of the Prince of Persia games was so unfinished that it required the "24/7 online" drm so a puzzle could be done and the game could be finished. And that when the Ubisoft servers were closed the (cracked) game was impossible to finish or something like that

@Xdqwerty, That's extra scummy. Ubisoft nowadays ship out incomplete games like Skull and Bones which was being worked on for nearly a decade now.+1 -

I like that games can be fixed after the fact, hate that it's being abused via beta tests... And DLC... I was a 7800 owner back in the day and loved Impossible Mission, turns out I couldn't beat it because it was actually impossible lol
