stefanhendriks Posted May 17, 2008 Share Posted May 17, 2008 If yes, how would you like to be d2tm to be on a psp?I have a psp, got it running custom firmware and i have been able to create my own hello world for the psp! I've seen some amazing stuff on the psp (God of War is amazing!); so d2tm should be easy to do ... right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dragoon Knight Posted May 17, 2008 Share Posted May 17, 2008 Anything new and good for the PSP would be good, but you have to remember that Updates are required for a lot of new games, and that would remove any firmware customisations, correct?Unless you wanted to contribute a lot of time to the project (i.e. circumventing the updates each time) it might not be worth it.

stefanhendriks Posted May 17, 2008 Author Share Posted May 17, 2008 I am running the latest custom firmware (3.80 M33 patch 3). And, i have been able to run all homebrew games without problems. (1.0, 1.5 and other firmware compatible). So; if you are up to date, it should be no problem i guess.Also, i see that the lib that is used is SDL, which is convinient, because it is multi platform (ie, also for windows). So if i stick to that, it would be for PSP AND Windows, Linux, etc. A nice example is openTTD. There is also an openTTD PSP version of it, a really, really nice game btw.

Dunenewt Posted May 17, 2008 Share Posted May 17, 2008 Could you not make it for the DS instead...? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stefanhendriks Posted May 17, 2008 Author Share Posted May 17, 2008 Lol. Perhaps. I do have a DS (well my wife has). But there is already some sort of engine for that. Also, writing such a thing for the DS is way different than for the PSP (psp looks more like C/C++ and such). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stefanhendriks Posted May 20, 2008 Author Share Posted May 20, 2008 Quick update. I've got some tile drawing working on the psp. It is not much, but hey... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrFlibble Posted May 21, 2008 Share Posted May 21, 2008 I don't have a PSP, but I'm glad to hear that you're back at work on D2TM, and got some new ideas, Stefan ;D I've shrugged off some of my exams recently, and gotta generally have more free time (and motivation), so I hope to get some graphics-related stuff done in near future :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stefanhendriks Posted May 22, 2008 Author Share Posted May 22, 2008 Good to hear! I Hope your exams went well? Anyhow, don't think that i have that much time ;-) I am somehow finding some spare minutes to code something with SDL, which should work on the PSP and figure out how. I was quite suprised to find out there is no RTS for the PSP at all.Also, I am still learning how some things work for the PSP. I think my first 'step' would be a sort of vertical shooterwith dunish sprites (ie an ornithopter you control?) just to get some basic stuff done?I do have some ideas about an RTS for the PSP, also about controls and such, but I don't have time for that yet. In a few weeks I have more time because then this school year ends. In august things will be busy again, but up till then work can be done :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrFlibble Posted May 22, 2008 Share Posted May 22, 2008 Good to hear! I Hope your exams went well?Yup, thanks :)I think my first 'step' would be a sort of vertical shooterwith dunish sprites (ie an ornithopter you control?) just to get some basic stuff done?Heheh, I remember somebody made a PC "Ornithopter" game which is exactly what you describe :) Simple but fun ;D It played the Dune II MIDI piece which Frank Klepacki rewrote as "Attack on Arrakis" for Dune 2000, a very cool tune.

Well that would be something to achieve first I guess.Did you know there is not a single RTS game for the PSP? There was one made, but it never found a publisher, so it never got released.Actually, would be quite a primer, having a homebrew game, being RTS and in a dune scene. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lord vernius of ix Posted June 26, 2008 Share Posted June 26, 2008 I havent been here in a while, is this going to be released? Id be happy to take dune with me wherever I go lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stefanhendriks Posted July 2, 2008 Author Share Posted July 2, 2008 Bah, as always i lack time so it kinda got halted. But i do have something compiling, drawing sand tiles. Wow...SO nothing playable yet. Although when i have time i could complete it some day. :( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
