Homebrew [REQUEST] Pokémon Uranium port

[Shikkichu]

I woke up today thinking to myself how I'd like Nintendo to sue me as well.

For some reason (read: the dev being an asshole basically) it's impossible to extract some of the PBS text files from this particular essentials game meaning that a port is completely impossible period.

Don't get sued, you're such a nice lady.

Seriously, why does someone want a Obviously jail bait project to take place?

Guys, there is a method to get the source code of any rpg maker xp game ^^

You still need to port it and there's more to this. This engine would first need to be ported to the ARM CPU of the 3DS. From there you can start porting the game. But this doesn't include the resources needed to power the engine and keep it stable. That is a lot of work for a game that The Big N has already taken down once before

Maybe is better if you just make a new pokemon rpg clone for 3DS RPG maker instead. I mean if someone wants a pokemon game in rpg maker for 3DS, why not do it? Instead people keep making Rom hacks, that is basically altering stuff that is already prebuild concept.

You got spirit kid and I can tell how much you want this to happen. But it's not something that can be done and it's a lawsuit waiting to happen, eve if it could be done.

Just make another pokemon game? Altering a rom is one thing (alter trainers, Encounters etc) wich Nintendo does not like, but a standalone game with too much publicity will not stand a chance against nintendo. Bye pokemon prism and uranium.

He's setting us up to try and take down homebrew devs, protect smea and yellows8 at all cost D:

As for the guy, just completely remake, though don't call it pokemon, and as for the pokemon, make them like digimon or something, use your own art etc.
I mean many people do that though the games never generally do well because people will view them as a "mock pokemon" game. But that's basically what you're asking, unless you truly do want us to get sued because this was one of the bigger projects that got dmca'd

The issue isn't really rom modifying, the issue is "make another pokemon game" you do not own the rights, therefore you are not allowed to copy and redistribute their works, even if you coded 90% of it, they still own the trademark, they own all the images, the name, etc. and as stated above

A 200kb zip file? I dunno, I'd be impressed if it contained a 3DS port of anything, let alone Uranium.

 

[MarioWithGun]

I dunno, I just went to github and downloaded the source code .zip. If its incorrect then I'm sorry.

I think what you have there is a collection of save files. Suffice to say that a Uranium port to the 3DS is not happening, it would be a mountain of work even if we had the required information, and there will be little interest in carrying out that work while people can just play it on PC instead.

No one is telling you not to request anything, but to understand what you are requesting. Ports aren't just put onto a system over night. They require weeks, months, even years of hard work and dedication. And all of that with the source code. Without a source code, it's next to impossible to port anything. Not to mention porting an engine that doesn't exist on the system you are porting it on. Basically, you have to be realistic when it comes down to making requests. As well you have to provide reasons, resources, ect. If you aren't up for putting any effort into your requests, then why should anyone put any effort into helping make your request a reality? If you aren't motivated, than no one else should be motivated for you.

Well, technically speaking... you could recreate the whole game from scratch. But realistically, no one is going to do that.
