2)Rewriting code that has been optimized for a certain chip and operating system and written in a language that the PSP doesn't understand to code that can be understood by the PSP.

3)Recompiling properly to work on the PSP.

After that is all said and done it would have just been easier to write an engine from scratch...

NO! Seriously, If you are going to use another engine do something new and unique!

Hah, yer but people are always doing new and unique things, Some people just want Half-life on PSP! hah. New and unique we have. Half-life PSP we don't :p

I mean I know it's nearly impossible, and won't happen, but it is the main topic of this thread. atleast it was :rolleyes: haha

I see where Capn1time is coming from, I'd much rather see a new, unique PSP homebrew than a clone. I'd love to play HL on PSP, but I'd much rather play a completely new game.

The reason? I have played through HL and to be honest FPS games on the PSP suck. I would have no drive to play through it again, because the controls would annoy me to death. However, if it was a new game, I'd like to find out how it ends and would be that much more motivated to trudge through it and find out.

really? FPS don't bother me much, I can deal with the controls.

I could make a half-life clone using the doom-psp, but I'd need some really good sprites, textures, and a map of each levels lay-out, all of which I unfortunately really have no idea where to get them. It'd take a long time too...

better get started!

haha im joking, you should just make up your own game. Better than dungeons, something like The Matrix and Dark City (google it, great movie) and have people with guns and powers!!!! freakin awsome! :D

Well then...

Guess I'm the only one who carries around Doom 1, 2 & Final, Duke 3D, Quake 1 & 2 on their PSP... Even though I've played through them a million times...

wow, i thought this thread would be way down there,
and hey i wanted to make my own game.
i got bored with tying to get maps to work.
still waiting for somethings that doesn't involve me making lots of stuff and finding out that it won't work. :)
