What do you think about DoomRL with graphics?

http://doom.chaosforge.org/downloads

I would really like to see it and play it on OD.

I think you'll have to wait some time, in the downloads section there's no source and it says "Listed below are the most recent DoomRL binary downloads. As for the source, it may eventually be available, but no sooner than before DoomRL 1.0.0.".

It should be possible though, they only say that it needs SDL. The hard thing whould be to fit most of if in a 320x240 screen, it may require more than a resize to be playable.

You are probably right, it came out few days ago so it is a little early. And by looking on this review by phreakindee it looks like AI shoots you further from the rectangle of 320x240 around you. That would mean that they could "see" you before you see them, so resizing would mean more work, maybe downscaling from 640x480...
But still it would be awesome!

Eh, I will wait for it patiently like i wait for OD.

I have managed to change resolutions in linux low quality version. Here are 800x640, 320x240, 640x480, 800x480 and 480x272.

800x600 is default resolution when you first start.

320x240 You can't see the menu or hud and you need to scroll a lot. Picture is not centred so your character can go out of the screen. Though not playable resolution is supported out of the box.

640x480. You can see the menu when you start, but font is too big and text is out of the screen. Still totally playable with change in font size.

800x480. Almost the same as 800x600. Text and the hood is visible and totally playable. (Yinlips and jxd s7100 owners will be so happy

480x272. Little better than 320x240 but still too big font and a lot of scrolling to see where are enemies.

Still there is no Android port for now, but I can see it in the near future

.

Edit: My conclusion is if it ever would be ported to Dingoo, it would have to be downscaled from 640x480 with font or Hud resize to be playable.

is there anything to do with dosbox emu to save states ?

and please port more dosgames that we used to play such as, Blues Brothers, Prince of Persia2, Volfied, Prehistorik2

DiegoSLTS · « **Reply #285 on:** April 02, 2012, 12:44:55 pm »

If you find the source code for those games or a reimplementation of their engines someone can take a look, otherwise there's nothing to do. We need source code to port things.

and save state for dosbox ?

What about porting prince of persia https://github.com/jmechner/Prince-of-Persia-Apple-II ?

How exactly do you expect someone to port 1985 6502 assembly to modern mips platform?
Without rewriting 100% of the code it's impossible.

Also it's not like PoP and it's sequel weren't successfully ported to almost every console at the time either. From what I remember the Megadrive/Genesis version was pretty close to the PC. I also had the Master System and the Gameboy versions which were also really good.

You mean Prince of Persia? I like only NES one.

DiegoSLTS · « **Reply #291 on:** April 25, 2012, 08:54:03 pm »

There's a reimplementation of Prince of Persia's engine called FreePrince. If someone wants to port it, look here, someone uploaded the source code to mediafire.

Freeprince (Princed) is in a very early stage. I had it running on the Dingoo since like 2009, but it's not playable at all, so no point releasing the port.

Yeah the NES one is pretty close in look and feel to the PC, I don't like the colours though - it's really purple looking compared to the dingy blue and black of the PC. The dungeon looks too nice!

The GBC one looked quite similar to the PC version but was basically just the GB game with a splash of colour. No bad thing though.

And porting Firewhip on the A320?

Bennu has already been ported to the Dingoo, so it should run with a minor change to the .gpe script.

Great it was an amazing game on my Caanoo, hope to see it on Open Dingux ^^.

Someone are interested to porting "Road Fighter Remake" (remake of a classic Nes - MSX game)?
Here is the Source: http://www2.braingames.getput.com/roadf/

Hmm... I downloaded the source code but after building it I have no other cars in the races, also no powerups and no obstacles. The compiler doesn't gave me any errors, so maybe the source is outdated :S or for some unkown reason those things are missing in my PC.

If someone can test this and can confirm that the game works I can try to make it fit in the 320x240 of the Dingoo.
