After doing a little bit of research on games that have been developed with Lua I came across Daimonin (http://www.daimonin.net/) This free beta MMORPG coded in Lua made me think. Although it would take alot of coding and work to get Daimonin ported to PSP, the base is all there. Unlocking the PSP's wifi would also be a hurdle, but its possible. Since this is open source its very possible. Although my limited coding experience bars me form undertaking such a task, as I am still fumbling around with easy little Lua programs, I figured everyone interested should know about this game. I personally would love playing an MMORPG on my PSP. I don't know if the PSP can handle it, but I hope so.

Hmm, link works for me. Here are some others.

Does anyone know how we could port this to the PSP? Would it require a new compiliation of all the files or could we use the windows file somehow. I'm new to creating homebrew so sorry for any foolish questions.

Also, another Lua based program called H World I have been looking at for porting to the PSP. It is a roguelike RPG with simple graphics and the code is available. Development has ceased for H World, and it is now totally Open Source. Much can be done with the PSP, and I'd like to see more homebrew in the field of RPG. I'm doing as much as I can with little ability. ;)

your better off asking a dev community. there are a couple of people who could possibly help you get started around here.. but your better off looking at the very forum where lua was released on psp.
