Quake 3 source code

[mickmos]

I think i remember someone saying that if you have a source code of a game its alot easier to port than a game without the source code i was looking on the intenet and for this http://www.fileshack.com/file.x?fid=7547
Do you think its possible to port quake 3 over to psp or is it too advanced

[PlagueMusic]

i think it could be possible but be like .00000002 fps

[JKKDARK]

yes, this game has great graphics. A little hard..

[gpeters]

I think this was discussed, but was said it would be near impossible due to the amount of memory Q3 needed to load and the lack there of the PSP has to offer.

Theres a little thing called Iris that can render Quake 3 maps

Honestly it does seem possible to get it at a playable speed on the PSP. The main problem is that the engine is HUGE to port over for a single developer.

In the spring I was working on Q3A source to add support for MD3 models in the survival horror clone game I've been working on. At the time I was convinced that it's memory usage is too demanding. But I was recently discussing this on #pspdev, and they provided an arguement that it shouldn't be totally discounted. If no one else picks this up, I may start working on it again. It is just 45,000 lines of C code afterall. :-)

I'd be doing a native GU port, if I were to officially start.

Quake 3 had a port to the Dreamcast, which has half the ram of the psp. Memory shouldn't be THAT big a concern...
