I've made a thread for this in Proggramming Discussion for the actually coding translation portion of the game, but I guess game discussion should sick here...

I'm looking into it. No promises, but I want to see a DC version too.

DC Duke Nukem 3D, is that a good name? I just can't wait to see a port of it to the DC, it will be so awesome!

I have some good news, and I have some bad news.

Bad news first - The BUILD engine uses quite a bit of x86 assembly. That means that, unless we can re-write that code in C or SH-4 asm, then we can't do a port, at least for quite a while.

The good news is that Icculus are working on a Linux/SDL port of Duke3d. At least, they've started importing the source code release, so I assume they're working on it. These guys are the ones responsible for most of the work on Bero's port of Rise of the Triad, which was pretty much just as messy as the Duke3D/Build code, and they've already ported the BUILD engine to Linux and Windows. They also managed to remove all of the assembly code from ROTT, so maybe they can do the same for BUILD/Duke3D.

I think that, if we wait around a bit for their project to mature, we can probably do a DC version without too much hassle. And that would be nice!

If it gets ported though It will be soooo cool

bloodite · Post by **bloodite** » Tue Apr 01, 2003 10:01 pm

I personally like DukeDC for the name, it sounds like a natural progression (or corruption if you will) of the original.

well, the dc rott used the linux port code from icculus.org, which came out 2 days after 3dr released the rott. so let's hope icculus does the same for duke3d. I'm pretty fucking sure i'm 100% correct here children.
