{Port Suggestions} Strife, Blood, or maybe ZDoom?
I know the PSP has some great FPS titles already, however, I really enjoyed Strife and Blood when they first came out. I still play them some on PC but would love a portable version to carry around :p. Links to some source code and other information below:

Strife - Strife Wiki | Vavoom Source | SwStrife Source & Thread
This is a FPS with RPG elements actually based off of the Doom engine but it had several improvements to the engine itself. It wasnt a very well known title due to coming out around the time of the original Quake and was vastly outdated by then, but was an excellent game.
The original source code to the game was lost by Rogue Entertainment, however the game was reverse engineered by Janis Legzdinsh, responsible for making the Vavoom game engine. His work was later incorporated into the source port program ZDoom- two source ports of Strife were made one using ZDoom, another called SwStrife by Kaiser(the same Kaiser on these boards? I dont know myself) based on guesswork and another was made using the Vavoom engine which supports the Doom engine games: Doom, Doom II, Heretic, Hexen, and Strife in Direct3d\OpenGL.

Another excellent but gory FPS, Blood was initially distributed as a shareware demo version which contained the complete Episode One. Blood is powered by a modified version of the Build engine created by Ken Silverman for 3D Realms. Duke Nukem 3D is the most well-known build engine game.
Blood was ported to the Quake engine under a project called Transfusion. Formerly known as qBlood, the project was renamed to avoid possible copyright issues with the Blood trademark owned by Infogrames/Atari. Transfusion is currently still under development, with more recent releases using the DarkPlaces engine.
Blood has also been ported into the ZDoom engine. The project, ZBLOOD, does not contain any of the secret levels, and only boss is Cheogh. Zblood has been considered as a "watered down" version of Blood, due to its easy difficulty. All of the Blood weapons are present in Zblood, with an exception to the Napalm Launcher, and the Voodoo Doll.

ZDoom - ZDoom and info on other source ports Wiki | ZDoom Source
ZDoom is a port of the official Doom source code targeted at Microsoft Windows and Linux. It is one of the most advanced and popular Doom ports, supporting Boom editing extensions, plus all the extensions made by the HeXen engine, as well as adding a multitude of new features not found in the original Doom. In addition, it supports Heretic, Hexen, Blood(with conversion) and Strife.

P.S.: While I realize not all of this information is directly related to porting these to PSP I thought they maybe useful in the endeavor.
*_Part of this info was taken from the Wiki!_*
I would really love to see either of these two games on our psp or you could take it a step further and try to port Vavoom or zdoom which supports several of these FPS games most of which we have seperate atm.
I wanted to throw these out there so others may enjoy them and based on what we have currently they shouldnt be too far a stretch. Btw, if you want to check out either of these games(Blood or Strife) in thier original form- they play in the PC version of DosBox.
!_As I have more information that I think is relevant or if you have a link not listed that you think is relevant please post it here and Ill update this original post, thanks._!
