Heart of The Alien for PSP - R1 is out

[aries2k4]

Ok, SCSA asked the question that I was thinking.
But can´t this be considered as the first segacd game to run on the psp?
well, just finished passing the files to the ms..but I´m fading fast. still going to try it in bed though.
Once again, great work

Maybe this will give someone an idea to make a segacd emulater. Great work Tinnus, i had fun with this game a long time ago

[odino]

Good!!! Tinnus i love you...

Not at all, this is not an emulator, it's just an interpreter for the game data files. That is, it's like a clone of the Sega CD software of the game, reading only the data files from the ISO image, but running 100% native on the PSP.

It wouldn't run as fast as it does otherwise

In the words of the Emperor... "Most impressive"! Whats next for this then?? (Any other game emulations in the pipeline!??)

Ive been waiting for a port of this , thanks alot!

So your saying Sega CD games could be "interpreted" one at a time on the PSP though huh?
Ah man, now I'm praying someone ports Sonic CD
Thanks for the release Tinnus I've always been a big fan of this game.


PS: Is there a way to shrink this ISO image? (and have it still work of course) It's pretty big.

No Mr. Shizzy, Its about the same as ScummVM, its an engine that runs the data files on the CD. Heart of the alien could have been on any console/platform the same data files could be used.

The same thing have been done with Flashback, its called "REminiscence".

There is no SegaCD emulation involved in this. Though like i said in another post, SegaCD emulation could be possible if the emu is coded from scratch.

Anyway, please stay on topic, this has noting to do with emulation.

Tinnus, thanks for this, i LOVE the Out of this world games! Are you eventually going to eneble mp3 or better Ogg to play the music? And is there still copyright problems to add Out of this World?

Thanks again Tinnus

yuck. just kidding.

Thanks for the info. Although the comment above was a little uncalled for. This is a port of a SEGA CD game. So asking if other SEGA CD games could be ported one at a time is on topic bro. Anyways I got better things to do than argue. Peace.
