POWDER

Postby espontaneo on Mon Jul 27, 2009 12:58 pm

anyone interested in porting this?

It is a fantastic graphical roguelike - of course the GBA version works fine on the dingoo native - however it would benefit from the extra buttons and larger resolution of the dingoo.

Should be pretty simple it's SDL and the GP2x has a version - Just putting it out there...

Ported it a long time ago. However had some issues with the resolution (too small) and input (couldn't map any buttons).
Besides that the game was playable. A player was able to move through the level and kill monsters.
If you want, you may try it: http://wade.hu/~zear/a320/powder

Maybe worthwhile contacting the author? Hi email address is at the end of the Readme.txt...

He'd probably be happy to help - by that I mean point out how to change viewport and buttons...

I may re-mail him though. Maybe this time he will read it...

Thanks for your work on this, zear - hopefully Jeff gets back to you - would love to see a "proper" port with remapping, resolution fixed, etc. He's a great guy and usually interacts with people about Powder on rec.games.roguelike.misc quite often so I'd imagine he's just busy.

I think ther's a DS and GBA version of this; Maybe it could help to port it to Dingoo.

The Gameboy and DS versions are based off the same sourcecode which is what zear has used.

It already has been ported effectively, zear just needs more information to make it A) not in GBA resolution and B) use the extra buttons of the dingoo

otherwise you might as well just play the emulated GBA version...
