There is a lot more to consider aside from minimum system requirements...there are much bigger issues like:

1.) CPU Architecture
2.) Target OS and it's libraries/frameworks
3.) Porting research

DOOM has been ported to TONS of things...someone even got it to run on a printer IIRC, while half life exists on one architecture. Unless someone has lots and lots of time to spare you're not likely to see it.

There is an open source alternative to goldsrc called xash3d, it has been ported to arm and with a lot of work it could run on the 3ds. The real question is if someone is willing to port it.

xash is polished too. Yours is too.

I already coined the name for this mod to be "half-life 3(ds)", and if that ends up not being the name of the game if it comes out, i will flip.....

There's hope for a Xenosaga port.

I am really curious about at how many pages per minute did they get it to run there.

Before this thread gets to out of hand. There is no goldSrc (Half-life's engine) port for the 3DS, but since its a modified version of the quake engine you can find a mod that makes it playable in ctrQuake. I personally ran the mod and it works. If you need help setting up the mod PM me.

Don't tell me that Canon printer got a goldSrc port also! Everything but the 3DS, this seems a joke! /s

Could you post a tutorial here or somewhere else?

I dont think you guys should be relying on a quake mod to test HL1's capabilities. Just saying.

The 3ds has a hardware capable of running xash3d, only thing is no one wants to port it. Also the mod uses assets from half-life ,and goldsrc is a modified quake engine... Just sayin'
