Okay I have no idea what y'all are talking about when
you start talking about GP2X.... lol You lost me fairly quicky.
TMW can be ported to a PS3 running Ubuntu? Can someone write a port
of TMW in fatX format and make it runable on the origional Xbox? I don't
mean a Xbox with GentooX installed or anything like that. I mean a Xbox
without a modchip that has the XBMC or UnleashX dashboard. And
preferably a v1.6 Xbox.
If that's possible and probable then I'd be your first tester.

You might have heard a certain rumor about me. This rumor is completely false. You might also have heard the other rumor about me. This rumor is 100% accurate.
It's rather the developer licence we'd need from Microsoft.
EDIT -- pesky systematical typos.

Re: mana world in portables consoles?
Would it be possible to make a build of The Mana World in the Python programming language? Any system that has a python interpretor could run this game if someone ported it to Python. I know there is a Python interpretor for Windows, Mac, Linux, even a Python interpretor for the XBMC Dashboard for modded xboxs (and this wouldn't be illegal nor would it require M$ consent).
Is it possible or am I overestimating the power of Python?

There is a link if anyone is interested.

This would take as long as the whole development until now.

Re: mana world in portables consoles?
Well it was a thought. It would make it so there doesn't have to be individual clients for each operating system. So there are some advantages. But as you said the time it would take to achieve this... well it will take a long time. If anyone wants to try though, it would help solve the problem of porting the game to different consoles and operating systems. Instead of operating system specific clients, the client would be universal.

twilight,
Advantages of re-implementing tmwclient in Python:
EDIT: Disclaimer: I am not an official tmw developer. Any opinions expressed herein are my own and not neccessarily those of the tmw development team.
Advantages of re-implementing tmwclient in Python:
- Can run on XBox without requiring MS licence, assuming that the proper external dependencies (graphics lib etc.) are met
- Get dynamic client updates `for free'
- Replaces C++ by more writable/readable language
- Approx. slowdown by a factor of 15-20 (= 1500% - 2000%) of all non-native code
- Replaces C++ by a less safe language (sounds scary-- C++ is pretty unsafe already-- but recall that Python uses dynamic typechecking exclusively.)
- Will slow down project by a few years, unless a separate team picks up this work

...which is very unlikely considering the many open source librarys we are using (including quite obscure ones like guichan, physfs or enet).fate wrote:[*] Can run on XBox without requiring MS licence, assuming that the proper external dependencies (graphics lib etc.) are met

Re: mana world in portables consoles?
It should be possible to make a Wii port of the game now, free and legally without doing any mods to the console.
Although it would require a mammoth amount of work to do so.
For any one interested, a good starting point: http://wiibrew.org/index.php?title=Main_Page
(Just felt like throwing that out there.)

Re: mana world in portables consoles?
It's posible to run TMW under Opie Linux under Palm Tungsten T3 / T5 / TX. I've done it long time ago.
Palm T5 have PPC Intel XScale 416MHz procesor, also there is a recompiled version of SDL on it.
