Old Title: Command and Conquer runs well on the PSP. I hope coders port some PC RTS homebrews.

Westwood was working on a command and conquer game for the genesis. It was never completed and you can find the incomplete rom for it online in any genesis collection (legal since it was never commercially sold or copyrighted).

anyways, command and conquer runs absolutely beautifully. it's a cinch to make buildings, select or control units. the analog nub really does do a great job of filling in for a mouse. unfortunately, the incomplete game never had enemy units build. so all you can do is build up a massive army yourself and force your own units to attack each other. it's still fun regardless. dune is a ton of fun too.

Now I can't get the idea of playing a more modern full blown RTS on the psp.

Are there any good Homebrew PC RTSs that coders could port over to the PSP.

It would be awesome to play a game like starcraft or something on the PSP. And the only other way of doing that is a N64 emulator that may never come around.

Stratagus (http://stratagus.sourceforge.net/)

yeah i tried this game but i couldnt work out what to do so gave it up as a bad job

[centroles]

that looks sweet. has anyone ported it over to the psp.

it would be awesome to have an whole rts engine ported to the psp. you could make games similar to command and conquer, or starcraft or whatever you wanted to.

were can i get comman and conquer plz

thx :)

[xuphorz]

u talking about bochs?

[sony1psp]

where can i get the command and conquer plz

[xuphorz]

if your asking me, i'm just as confused as you. i think they're refering to the very old pc c&c, and playing it through bochs, but i don't know

[sony1psp]

ye i got the old 1 4 pc i want it 4 psp and im confused as well plz tell me were 2 get it :)

[bobcobb]

its a rom, for the sega emulator. and its pretty worthless as the game was never finished. If you want C & C your outta luck right now. Hopefully some nice coder will port a good RTS engine for the PSP, but until then keep playing squarez. (not that its a bad game or anything)

C+C red alert is what id love to see on the psp :)

[xuphorz]

GOOD NEWS!!!!!

C&C: Red Alert is scheduled for release on PSP!

http://psp.ign.com/objects/737/737755.html

check out the release also, TBA 2005 :D

[UnderHill]

at first i thought you were pullin my leg..WOOT! :D

Yeah, C&C was being built for the Genesis. It was never completed but it's fully functional and runs beautifully through the PSP Genesis emulator. Unfortunately, the enemy AI was never programmed so there really isn't anything to do. It's still awesome regardless.

And if it runs so well through an emulator, surely something ported directly to the PSP like Stratagus would run very well as well. Plus stratagus can be used to make a C&C or Starcraft replica.

command and conquer is comin on psp, so no need to port a dull graphics game when u can have (wait for) a nice red alert 2 type, command and conquer game, which i have played since my chilhood :) AYE!! C&C i loves u!

ermmmmmmmmmmmmm WRONG. that is not how it works. sorry, nope, dosnt work that way at all!

That isnt to say that it wouldnt run well on it. but you cant judge somthing like that just because you think it would.

Also the only people that are going to port C&C would be Westwood as they are the only people who own the rights to the source code. As for x86 emulation... its possible that it might run the older C&C's at a decent speed. But right now bochs is limited to 8 Megs of RAM and is at a very early stage.

I made a made a similare mistake about a year ago when I decided that you could port Battle of Westnoth (or whatever) to DC... well actually you could.. but it wouldnt be a complete port. alot of stuff would have to be recreated from scratch, and no one wants to spend that much time for fear that they will loose intrest or support.

So, you may be able to see a commercial release of this, or a port of some open source clone.. or possibly even an x86 emulator some time. but it takes time.

thanks. actually now that it's being commercially released, the only rts port I'm hoping for is stratagus.

Making your own RTS games sounds awesome
