Homebrew [REQUEST]Half-life (Xash3D) on New 3DS. Is it possible?

[Damin72]

After CS1,6 and Half-life was porting on Android, i think it would be nice having Half-life on N3DS. Controls from Dreamcast, Xash3D Sources. Why not? Is it possible? Or stupid idea?

CS1.6 wasn't ported to android. I believe it was emulated.

"Ported". But it only engine. You need originals game files from Steam-version.

It has been asked before many times. Yes, it is possible but will require a lot of rewriting. Not only on the rendering and sound parts, but the way it handles the game code itself since it will have to be statically compiled into a single binary.

Okay... =(

Rinnegatamante portet some big titles e.g.:
ctrHexenII > Hexen II porting for Nintendo 3DS.
or
ctrWolfen > Wolfenstein 3D port for Nintendo 3DS.

i think this could be the same method here?

I've ported Quake and Duke3D, trust me when I say its not that simple.

If FPS games weren't worthless on the o3ds, I would consider it.

I wouldn't say worthless, the controls on the N3DS is far better but I've enjoyed playing on my 2DS. And the DS had some decent FPS games (Metroid).

Almost anything is possible if you have a developer that wants to put the time and effort into it.
The thing is that there isn't a huge amount of 3ds homebrew devs kicking around that aren't already working on their own things.

That being said I would totally love Half-Life on my n3ds.

It's a shame that the Circle Pad Pro is still not supported by ctrulib..

 

[DarkRioru]

if theres a source, it could be possible if someone or a team of people put effort into making it a reality but for now, its only a dream... like having a 3ds sandbox garry's mod like game that extracts models from your downloaded games...

I THOUGHT I SAID IT WAS SUPPOSED TO BE CALLED "HALF LIFE 3(DS)", not XASH....

anyway, sorry for caps. I dished the idea out on the 1990s pc port thread a while ago, and said that the name HAD TO BE "HALF LIFE 3(DS)"

i'm pretty sure the source is out there.

It's possible.
@MasterFeizz had a semi-working prototype of it, ask him.

 

[Archexe]

@MasterFeizz where is the semi working protobot?

It's not a prototype, its half-life running on ctrQuake. Most of the time it crashes during the portal opening part, but if you skip that it kinda works.

I swear once this makes way, IT HAS TO BE CALLED "HALF LIFE 3(DS)"

Ha, the 3(DS) actually made me laugh, thank you for that sir :3

I never said that this would be simple
