Homebrew The 1990s PC port thread!

[Jiro2]

I was going to say Diablo is impossible because you need to have source code, but it turns out that there is a freely available engine for it. So it's actually possible. The engine does seem to be in a relatively early stage, though.

 

[TimX24968B]

Diablo would be great! I'll actually update the op with a "Most Wanted" section

add "half life 3(ds)" (port of half life) to the most wanted section, too.

THE NAME OF THE PORT HAS TO BE "half life 3(ds)" (sorry for caps)

--------------------- MERGED ---------------------------

I wonder if the original grand theft auto could be ported, too.

Considering GoldScr is a fork of Quake, why the hell not? Hell, I can play basic HL1 with Darkplaces and the original DOS Quake. (I say basic cause I haven't even gotten to the experiment chamber where it all starts)
Maybe some minor modifications to ctrQuake and we should be ready.

I dont think openmw is possible to port to the N3DS.. But it would be the coolest thing ever, if it was possible

This Picture is 320X240. So it would at least look great on 400X240! (But probably impossible..)

Not that easy, goldsrc is closed source and xash3d is not that similar to the quake engine nor would it be an easy port. To fix the half life quake mod I believe I only need to increase the cache size

Well how about reverse engineering? Hell that could take a lot longer. But if anyone willing to try I guess. However, I didn't know about the cache size, but there's also the annoying gfx.wad not being an ID2 wad. But if these things can be done, plus the differences, between engines (or at least end-user ones, such as the use button) then we wouldn't be too far off, would we not?

Piggy backig of xash3d is the best bet, the biggest problem is the rendering code and statically linking all parts that make the game

I would agree, however, wouldn't HL1 already be done? Considering most probably finished by now. (Or so I hope) if so, if we get xash3d, that could open possibilities beyond HL1, maybe we'd have TFC or CS.

If they have the source that can be recompiled to arm, yes. Half-life's source is open btw

Only problems might be translating to sfml, oh and using cpp instead of c

play Xenoblade 3D

Are you seriously compairing Xenoblade 3D with Morrowind? Morrowind (at least OpenMW) requires like 25x processing power and 25x memory size (Minimal requirements are 512 MB of RAM and 1,2 GHZ of computing power for standard Morrowind, and OpenMW is a NON-optimized and NON-finished opensource version of the game...)

Probably PSVITA can handle it (not with Rejuvenate since it has CPU power limitations (333-444 MHZ) but 3DS surely not.

 

[Deleted member 301661]

wacky wheels!
worms 1&2
dungeon keeper
mortal kombat
street fighter
bomberman
bubble bobble
donkey kong
killer instinct
pong the next level
tetris worlds
supaplex
the question is not what, but what not.
the 90 we're the best games built, though i forgot some names i wished i did remember.

Cool games! I'll add those that aren't already near perfect in emulators

Sorry ive never played it But Xenoblade 3D is just a suggestion.

I LOVE U!

Start a new thread about this

 

[Deleted member 301661]

http://keeper.lubiki.pl/html/dk_keeperfx_dwnld.php is a better sourcecode for dungeon keeper than already listeds, though it'll be impossoble to finnish the game yet, and some easter eggs make the game crash, but it's accurate, so far a came to leves 7 whithout getting impossible errors.

 

[mehrab2603]

Tiberian Sun and Heart of Darkness. One can dream

 

[TarableCode]

Lots of these ports are possible but in most cases it's a matter of a developer wanting to put time and effort into properly porting it.

 

[Raylight]

Id like to see MDK 1 & 2 Ported
