Someone intrested in porting Fallout 1/2 to the PSP ?

[Jay-F]

First of all I have to say that I have no idea of coding etc. But I noticed that alot of old games like almost all of Lukasarts Adventures, Quake1/Quake2, Doom1/2 and some more have been ported. I dunno how difficult it may be or if it is even possible, but just the thought of playing Fallout on my psp lets me slobber.

Ive already tried it

Ill spare on the more technical reasons, but With the current engine it has, it would be quite impossible, but if someone were to rewrite the Fallout engine for specifically putting it on an overpriced piece of junk it would be.

 

[Jay-F]

what about the FIFEengine ?

 

[Xavierblazer]

No, I mean it needs a new engine written specifically for the psp and its mutant OS it houses.

Its possible, but way too much work for such a little award.


Just get a small laptop If you want to play fallout on the go.

What makes it so difficult porting it ? I mean they ported Quake II and i think its equal to Fallout... since it was released in the same year

 

[Xavierblazer]

Quake and doom are open source which makes the porting easier because they can just edit the source code directly.

 

[Jay-F]

oh I understand... and together with Bochs's x86 emulator ?

Like Xavierblazer said: it's impossible to "port" a game without having its sourcecode.

what about the FIFEengine ?

Give it a try

AFAIK there is an unofficial SDL port for the PSP so it should be possible. Check the list of required libs and make sure that they're all available on the PSP:
