Ok, if the source is officially given by FTL (wich i doubt) this would be perfect but as i don't think so, maybe there are some alternatives...

I really like Dungeon Master, its imo one of the greatest dungoen game ever (especially the Snes version that doesn't work with Snes9xTYL cause of some special chip that is not yet emulated)

I found this:

-This is another DM quest called "Chaos Strikes back" (don't know if its portable...)

-A Java version remix of DM exists, is Java source portable to PSP?

Anyway, I must go to bed, If someone wants to port a DM clone, I think this is a great place to start: http://dmweb.free.fr/

ps.: I know there is a lot of versions of DM on other platforms (Amiga, Atari, Apple II.....) But having a native port would be better, or porting a Clone that's in 3D using the PSP' 3D engine (if possible) would be awesome.

well thanks for reading

Nobody is interested?

Well this is what the author of the source code says about "Dungeon Master: Chaos strikes back" :

"I wrote a disassembler to turn it into human-readable op-codes and proceeded to translate it to C++ using the Microsoft Version 6.0 C++ compiler. Eight hours a day for six months. About 120,000 lines of pseudo-assembly language."

Now, i don't know anything about coding, when post in this forum i do not expect someone to port the thing, its more curiosity than anything else. I just want to know if its doable.

thanks.
