Hello temper, I was very busy in the last week and released less 3ds game ports than usual, but I was working on something very important.

Retroguru team is going to present this week-end their last work - HERMES - RUN A LA CARTE - at Revision 2017 in Saarbrucken, and the selected platform for the release is the 3ds (ported by me).

Here is a screenshot of the game:

It's a big honour for me because at Revision it will be a full exclusive 3ds homebrew, and if you consider that I'm the last arrived in the porting team, they are putting a lot of confidence in me.

The game will be released here on Gbatemp after the end of the game competition (Sunday 16), but probably a trailer of the game will be available on the Retroguru site, or on their FB page, earlier.

If you can't be at Revision this week-end, you can follow it in live stream. If you like the work of the retroguru guys, please show your appreciation with comments and likes on their FB pages.

For this port I used my SDL lib, while the previous ports used a fake sdl layer. Most of the work done was making the SDL lib stable for both 3dxs and CIA formats. Really hope that all the effort spent in this work will motivate other people to develop more homebrews for the 3ds.



PS: Ports of Hermes for other platform will came in the next future, the other devs are already at work.

Everything is going fine. The game play demo was recorded and tomorrow will be shown on the big screen.

After the comp the game will be released on the retroguru site and here with a release post. But it will be at late night (EU time) probably.

There will be available other ports too (win, wii, android)

  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @AncientBoi, Yeah, believe you can do PSP games as well. But a Pi5 is much powerful in comparison.

  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Not sure about other models of Pi4 but the Pi 4 B with 8GBs OCed to 2Ghz handles PSP really great except like 1 game I found and it is playable it just looks bad lol Motor Storm Arctic something or other.
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Other games I can have turned up to like 2X and all kinds of enhancements, Motorstorm hmmm nope 1X and no enhancements lol

  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    I will admit that one does seem more interesting than the usual Ambernic ones, and I already liked those.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    I dread the price point.

  • Veho @ Veho:
    This looks like one of their premium models, so... $150 :glare:

  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    To me that seems reasonable.
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    I mean since basically all the games are errmmm free lol
  • Veho @ Veho:
    I mean yeah sure but the specs are the same as a $50 model, it's just those pesky "quality of life" things driving up the price, like an actually working speaker, or buttons that don't melt, and stuff like that.

  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    I think all in my Pi 4 was well north of 200 bucks 150ish for the Pi 4 the case the fancy cooler, then like 70 for the 500GB MicroSD then like 70 for the Xbox controller. But honestly it's a nice set up I really enjoy and to me was worth every penny. (even bought more controllers for 2 or 4 player games.) hmmm have never played any 2 player games yet :(
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Yeah that's what I hate about the RPi, it's supposedly $30 or something but it takes an additional $200 of accessories to actually turn it into a working something.
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    yes that's the expensive part lol
  • Veho @ Veho:
    I mean sure it's flexible and stuff but so is uremum but it's fiddly.
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Yeah a lot of it I consider a hobby, using Batocera I am constantly adjusting the collection adding and removing stuff, scraping the artwork. Haven't even started on some music for the theme... Also way down the road I am considering attempting to do a WiiFlow knock off lol
  • Veho @ Veho:
    I want everything served on a plate plz ktnx, "work" is too much work for me.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Hmm, with that in mind, maybe a complete out-the-box solution with all the games collected, pacthed and optimized for me would be worth $150 :unsure:
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Yeah it's all choice and that's a good thing :)
