Need for Speed Hot Pursuit 2 - New 3DS port released by Octoblimp
GBAtemp member Octoblimp has ported the PS2 game to the New 3DS and New 2DS! With career mode, cheat codes and full textures intact, running at a locked 30 FPS. [AI used]
GBAtemp member @Octoblimp has released a port of Need for Speed Hot Pursuit 2 for the New Nintendo 3DS and New 2DS. It's built from the PS2 version after several months of work. This is a complete port, with only a handful of known issues remaining.
The career mode, all PS2 cheat codes, credits and bonus video are all in and the textures haven't been downgraded. The game is locked to 30 FPS however (same as it was on PS2) since timing issues can appear above 30FPS. The bottom screen also gets a custom designed menu. The port will only work on the New 3DS because, as @Octoblimp puts it - the port pushes the hardware to its limits: an Old 3DS crashed simply trying to load a track. It was tested on a New Nintendo 3DS XL.
@Octoblimp is upfront that AI was heavily involved: the thread and README disclose that Claude was used to decompile the game, port it to the 3DS and help with debugging via Azahar.
You'll need to supply your own game files of course! Preferably from the PAL release and files have to be extracted from the disc image rather than dropped in as an ISO.
The setup steps, download links and @Octoblimp's answers to early setup questions are all in the thread below.
