Football Manager for DS Released

[wraggster]

News/release from nczempin:

I've started working on converting the original Football Manager to the DS.

Paul Robson has ported, or reverse-engineered, or remade, the original Football Manager by Kevin Toms. He has provided his source code here.

I took that, plus the DS port of the SDL, and started working on a port to the DS.

The current status is:

A pre-alpha version is running. You can see some of the menu screens, and once it comes to match day, you can actually see a match.

It is not really playable (other than advancing from match to match), in fact, I have taken out quite a bit of functionality.

So you should take a look at it only if you are very curious.

I will release the source code as well, of course (it's GPL), but I haven't found a permanent home for it yet.

Given that it is likely that I will not keep maintaining this for a long time (it is only a "finger exercise" to get acquainted with DS homebrew), it would be nice if someone would like to take over, provide webspace, etc. Putting it on sourceforge would be a bit of an overkill IMHO.

Wraggster,

Any chance of checking the .zip file?

I can download it OK, but gives me a corrupt message when I try to unzip it.

The programmer deserves all the praise for trying this but why cant you just play the original on ZXDS?
