No source code for it, i understand the pain too..

However i do recall an remake of this game and it was quite good.

Im not going to do the googling for you.

You need to google "Supaplex Remake"

I will pwn you later don't you worry!

Supaplex Clone (http://sourceforge.net/projects/supaplexclone/) is a quite good open sourced clone of the original game. I've only tried the first level, don't even know of there are any more, but with a little fine tuning (it hasn't been updated since 2005) this could turn out great!

I hope someone takes their time to port this to the PSP. I would be very grateful. :)

EDIT: This is not open sourced after all. Sorry for confusing you. :confused:

well i checked out the clone and... lets just say it seems far from complete.. normally u should be able to push those boulders and also if anything falls on u u should go boom.. plus sup (supaplex in short) has a menu

well heres a link to the original game ull see what i mean http://www.elmerproductions.com/sp/software/supaplex.zip

hmm.. noone seems to be checking out this old game.. still waiting for someone to pick it up..

i still think it would make a great addition to any homebrew psp

Yes, but however no one is interested (in porting). You also need to stop spamming.

The sources are not on the sourceforge page (probably an oversite of the author's as he specifically mentions the fact that it's ideal for porting).

OK, sorry about that. The author does say that it can easily be ported to other platforms, so I just thougt the source was there.
My mistake. :(

There are other Supaplex clones, and there surely are some open source ones, but I don't bother searching for it.

Yeah, i understand the needs for supaplex too dude :)

The original point of concept game was Boulderdash

and supaplex is a clone of that, however there are clones that require SDL_Net or Clanlib which the PSP dont have.
Just look out for those two, oh and it must be in either C or C++ and not rely on the directx engine.

I agree too dude,

I would like to look into making a clone in lua but i cant see that happening soon....


Wouldnt be too hard to make a boulderdash clone even.


If i was you try PSPuae again, i got it to load a yellow screen :|

Could work this time, who knows

Just found that PSPUAE runs supaplex at a reasonable speed, we need to wait until the loading limit is removed...
