OpenXcom NDS
« on: June 02, 2011, 11:56:36 am »
Hi!

I really like the project and I was thinking how cool could it be to be able to play this project on a Nintendo DS. I've always loved X-com and this would be a dream come true for me :D.

Any thoughts about a port like that?

Sorry if this topic already popped out here, but I couldn't find anything.

This is an interesting idea.  The stylus would probably work pretty well for emulating mouse input.  The hardest part would probably be getting a port of SDL for the DS.  I did a quick google search and there were some results for a port of SDL to the DS, though I didn't dig too deep.

Wouldn't a DS port simply be painting a giant target on your back for various legal teams?

I don't think there would be any legal issues as it wouldn't be released as a product.  I know you can run homebrew apps on the DS, so that's probably how the port would work.
