Hi guys, i wondered if anyone would be willing to help me port one of my favourite pc games "Homeworld 1" to the PlaystationPortable...?
I think it could be possible...since the Homeworld source-code is said to be quite user friendly. Basically fans ported the game to Linux and MAC OS. I thought, why not port it to the PSP ? To have a great game on the go ? Since there is no real space game on the system.
Ive put together some information and links:
About the game:
Code:

Homeworld Game Sourcecode with many manuals/info:

In terms of hardware, Homeworld system requierments are:
PII 233 or equivalent
RAM: 32 MB
Video Memory: 4 MB
Hard Drive Space: 150 MB
Recommended specs are:
PII 350 or equivalent
RAM: 64 MB
Video Memory: 12 MB
Hard Drive Space: 400 MB
The PSP's hardware is:
CPU: 333Mhz
RAM: 64MB Main Memory, 4 MB embedded DRAM
Video Memory: 2MB
Resolution: 480x272
Hard Drive Space: Depends on Memory Stick, maximum is 16GB
These links with their information should be all needed to know and have to make it possible
I know PC/PSP specs dont matter that much, but still.
I think if we lowered the resolution of the movies and audio (compressing, etc.), lowered texture quality a bit...the PSP should handle the game well.
The game can be run in one of 3 modes: Software rendering/ D3D/ OpenGL
What do you guys think ? Possible ? Who will try to help me ? I would love to have one of my favourite games on the PSP...
Anyone willing to help is welcome
THANK YOU !
