[DEV] Pokemon in the XDA way

Hey guys I'm not kidding,
when I bought my 7 years old little brother an old GamBoy Color within a the yellow edition of Pokémon from eBay, I just get in playing around with it myself, and I'm amazed of it again after so many years, when I played it last time. And btw. he likes playing it too
But emulation with e.g. Morphgear or any similar doesn't really get high resolution images while playing on the HD2 (of cause it was (is) designed for old GBC/GBA hardware and not for an hitech device like the HD2).
So here' what I mean:
bad idea:
Would it be possible to get access to games data and just replace the images with higher resoluted ones and set the resolution up (this must be done seperately I think, because it's designed for small BGA screens and just replacing images would affect nothing at the end). But anyway I don't spend much hope to this way of doing it, because it's an greenly and silly one!
better idea:
The other way would be to completely rewrite it (not really rewriting it, we must write it on our own, but we have a sample template - so we don't have to think of a complete new thing). I'm new in developing C++/C# and game development is a complete new thing to me. But I have some graphic skills... When there are some interested old-fashioned freaks like me out there (and I'm really sure there are many) - I would like to start a project for developing Pokémon for modern graphic standarts on modern hardware (like the HD2). Because here we have OpenGL ES 1.1/2.0 support, much CPU speed a.s.o. which could be a help. And the porting can't be that heavy, look at the GBC Files, they "just" have a size of 2MB, OK they maybe are compressed, but at all that can't be much (the GBC have to decompress this data, so even if they have a compression, it can only be lightweight)!
So are some of you interested? Then we maybe can make that project OpenSource, maybe we have to rename the project or the pokemons due copyright issues, this would be an annoying thing, but can be avoid with using an XML-table for the pokemons names for example, so "engaged modders" can change the pokemon names into similar real ones, while the official ones are just numerated for example.
GameDesign should be 2D, because it really looks good, and 3D Moddeling for 150 Pokemons - are you crazy??
GameDevelopment could be divided into:
1. The Background Game designing (actions, locations, the way to walk, the way pokemons appear, when conversations take place and finally the way of animation the pokemons fight)
2. The Image designing/moddeling (the way the scenery is arranged, like trees, houses, water, the arenas, caves and the main point: the Pokemons and maybe some animations take place in this category too??)
3. People speak, so we need the conversations etc and multilingual use would be nice at all.
But since now it's just an idea, but I like the idea! Maybe some of you like the idea too, and I want take the challenge - maybe Pokemon is one of the most ingenious games ever developed (regarding to the file size and the variety to play).
I would spent my part to the game with number 2 if the idea gets successfull!

Description
PPSSPP, a PSP emulator prototype for Android.
PPSSPP is a prototype PSP* emulator for Android (and other platforms).
It's still in very early stages and does not run many games. It's provided here if you want to try it, so that you can automatically receive updates over time - over time this will probably become a usable emulator.
Please go to http://www.ppsspp.org for more information.
IMPORTANT: Please do not give bad reviews due to low compatibility. It takes time.
NOTE: No games are included with this download, you will have to dump your own PSP games and turn them into .ISO or .CSO files, or simply play free homebrew games, which are available online.
* PSP is a trademark of Sony, Inc.

Wow, pretty nuts. Someone should report back once they find a game that works in nearly or full speed.

Just played Puzzle Bobble pocket on this (tried this because plays ok on video) and i can confirm its no fake, its the real deal people F**k yeah swwwweeeeeeeeettttt :victory:
Ps. Emulator plays psp Iso. No eboots at mo just so you know where to look

I tested the following games.
Bublle Bobble Evolution
Call of Duty Roads to Victory
Dragon Ball Z Tenkaichi Tag Team
Worms Open Warfare 2
Puzzle Bobble (This was the only thing that worked)
For what is seen is quite low compatibility list yet.
It is seen that only light running games with few graphics.
Let's wait and see how this project progresses.
But very good start.
Developers luck and thanks for your great work.

Looking forward to this. I just want Need for Speed Underground Rivals. The best NFS game for me so far!! Played it for nearly the whole time my missus was in labour with my boy, 20+ hours!!!

very good news
i love psp and NDS

Sound works (a little broken) and runs near full speed but a little lag. Some of the colored balls also do not show (some textures missing) apart from that great first version and cant wait to see more.

Would love to see this playing Crisis Core at some point

wow remember when all the noobs would ask a million times if the phone would play psp games...well now....better start making my collection again....i recon peeps better buy the 64gb card

Guys, if this runs with little lag on some guys and tons of lag on other games, imagine what it's like on the S3.
And good job to the dev. Time to test out some games.

About game
Guys, tell me what you think about this game? What do I need to change or add that would make the gameplay better?

The only thing I can think of that should be changed is the speed you can fly. It's a little slow. Other than that it's a great game & im truly addicted. Thank you!

p.s. updated a game version on Google Play

Stop making cute vampires! Twilight is enough D:
That being said, I really like the video. Any chance of making it available for Armv6 devices?

Yes, I'm working on it. These days up a little bit, so that half of the devices with ARMv6 goes normally, but on the other strongly lag. New version I put on the GooglePlay with support for ARMv6, will soon become available for download

Them's names alright.

Few cosmetic things:
Make the thumbstick totally transparent, the shaded middle doesn't look right tbh
Remove the cog icon in the left hand corner (pressing the menu button is just as easy and takes up no screen space)
Remove the stopwatch icon (doesn't fit with the rest of the game and it's obvious what the counter is for without it there anyway)
Remove the shade at the top of the screen, not really sure what it's there for and makes the screen feel smaller than it actually is (quite distracting)

I think you're right. These clocks a bit out of place and occupy most of the screen. Thanks!)

Google play lets me install it now, but starting the first level shows flashing squares (the squares contain elements from the background), so I guess it's not supported on my device.
Will try later with chainfire, will probably work.

Good speed on ARMv6
Now, i updated version in a first message and on GooglePlay and optimized graphics for low device. Can you check it? Especially if you have a device with ARMv6.
( will need turn ON "Low graphic" mode in the game options)

Guys, can anyone tell me, how i can to promote this game? So... I have a little downloads and do not know how to raise them. Tryed to posted on different android forums, and do not have a result(
Or i mast wait befor i can see improving?

Neat game!

That didn't fix the issue on my device (it has ARMv6).
I can now see the cutscene (Vampoo acting weird with his eyes), but as soon as the screen goes dark, I get flickering squares again.

Well there is no magical answer to this. If you plan to promote your game all alone (i guess you are an indie developer), you should contact all blogs related to mobile video games to see if they can add an article for you (try a google search to find some, i know toucharcade which is pretty good but iOS only). Sometimes those blogs will do a test if the game might be considered. Otherwise, you should have take an editor such as Gamevil or Chillingo for the famous ones that will do the marketing job instead of you. But they will demand some percentage on your earnings.

Only in English?

Have a question
Hello everyone again!
So, that new update will be available very soon. You can see a new blood system after death main character. What do you think of this innovation? Is it too harsh?

Looks cool. Will try it on my s2 and let you know how it goes.
Thanks.

nvm

Someone I know can do a port. of this game??

The other day looking for Dragon Ball games, I found this fun mugen:

PS: the caputuras are an old version of the game (2.4.5) the new version (2.8.0) is much better cast and better animations.
1) The game has a story mode (With all the sagas, minus the GT)
2) has a VS mode (which can be played up to 6 characters at once, (1 vs 1, 2 vs 2, 3 vs 3, 1 vs 2, 2 vs 3 ... etc)
3) It also includes a way to play online, also up to 6 players.
4) the game is very easy to edit, and you can add characters, editing skills, transformations and many more things (editing files and folders within the game in windows)
Here I leave a page where you create characters:
http://dbxpersonagens.blogspot.com.br/
in short, it's fun.
but I said, no point playing it on my pc, with games like (Battlefield 3, NFS Most Wanted, or even taking the Drago Ball Z PS2 emulator) then I thought, what if someone portara to android (as the game weighs no more than 60 mb)
so I was wondering if any of you know any developer that can make a port. for android of this simple and fun game .. @Pizza_Dox @smokerman @fma965 @poo-tang
@^I'm_With_Stupid @DiKeJ
and so we can play it on our Xperia Play
(below I leave a link to download it those who want to try, which is edited by me, I've added some characters., and am currently finishing editing, to leave well rounded., and adding some unknown characters. )
Link To Game Dragon Ball Budokai X (For Windows): http://www.mediafire.com/?8l0fowl8b24qlds
PS:is a mugen game, therefore it is absolutely free, so it is not Warez
Hope you interested in the idea ..
Greetings friends ..

So, you mean this is PC game and you want to make Android version, yes, am I correct? Just making sure, no sarcasm here if you felt something like that . Cheers Bro ^^.

@DiKeJ
clear .. this is a PC game, and would be nice if someone could port it to android .. but not entirely understanding your comment .. : (
can then somehow or not?
since I see there are so many other port android games (example: return castle Wolftein - Doom 3 - Quake 3) is that maybe it's a really stupid request on my part. but ask not lose anything. So, you mean this is PC game and you want to make Android version, yes, am I correct? Just making sure, no sarcasm here if you felt something like that . Cheers Bro ^^.[/QUOTE]

I mean I didn't want you to feel stupid or smth, I just wanted to make me sure and clear - now I know all .
About topic - I think it's possible, as you said, other PC ports are gets its port with 3d graphics etc. etc., but the main difference could be engine or part of programming. I think we need to contact developer of those PC ports, so he will tell us if he can do it, or is it even possible . I know a page when some guy relase always fresh new version of those games, so I'm sure he is Dev or just have good contact with him .

@DiKeJ
thanks man ..
I could spend that page spoken of?? or any private contact? : (
Therefore this, like other Mugen (Naruto - Samurai X - One Piece) and many other series are very good games .. .. that would be worth porting to android .. for more then be paid at the google play, are games that would be worth buying (which are also games that do not take up much memory and very low PC demand requirements)

We will contact privately, just in case to not angry Mods or so .
Write to me via Google Hangouts on [email protected] .

To port anything, you first need the source code. Mugen is a closed source project, so the only person who can do that is the Mugen author.
There is a project called OpenMugen that is aiming to become a replacement for Mugen while being open source, though. I dont follow the mugen scene, but it seems like it still has a long way to go.
There is also something called "Paintown", which has an android version and seems to have a mugen mode: http://paintown.sourceforge.net/
I did not check it out, just saw it by googling.

Firstly: This mention stuff is great but also annoying, Please don't mention me for things relating to "wanting to be developed" as i am not a developer nor do i appreciate being emailed constantly about things that don't even regard me (but i keep email on for "important" issues)
Secondly: Wouldn't this be better off in Android General section instead of the Xperia Play specific section.

Asphalt 8: Airborne - Gamescom Trailer
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S1q7ItE--8s
Phonearena.com
Asphalt 8: Airborne is coming to iOS and Android tomorrow, and Gameloft has just released the latest trailer for the adrenaline-packed racer where you’d be able to jump off platforms and defy gravity with your car for a few sweet moments.
It comes with even better graphics of near console grade quality. The new Asphalt 8 will also be optimized to run on the new Nexus 7 with its amazing 1920 x 1200 ‘Retina’ display.
The new Asphalt will feature a brand new realistic physics engine, a whopping 180 events, 47 cars and new game modes. Asphalt 8: Airborne supports simultaneous online multiplayer, but you can also race friends in asynchronous challenges, and all of that is tracked in leaderboards.
The game has eight maps and seven of them are brand new. You’ll get to experience racing in the Nevada desert, the busy streets of London, Tokyo and drive through frozen tracks in Iceland. The last, eighth map is a renewed map of Monaco. All of that racing comes with new weather effects for more immersive experience.
Asphalt 8: Airborne will cost $0.99 at launch tomorrow and we’ll update you as soon as it’s out.

Nice price. I hope it costs the same price at gameloft wapshop
And the most important I hope it comes with supporting xperia play gamepad.

Thanks D.Spirit. Gameloft take a lot of stick but they are really good with the asphalt series. They just added a load more cars to Asphalt 7 yesterday. They even added a few to Asphalt 6 recently too.
Looking forward to this!!

It seems Gameloft decided to not support Xperia Play anymore
The game is incompatible with XP

Well I think GL Will support us on this one, as most of their newer titles have support (Gangstar Vegas...) so i guess it wont harm in supporting xPlay's

It appears as "compatible" and lets you download it if you're on Jelly Bean / CM10 (I have Slimbean on at the moment and 480p Lupus kernel), but it won't work. Seems to get stuck after performing the licence check at the Gameloft logo.

Yeah, no more love from GL then. I guess I can live without their buggy IAP-infested games anyway

GL has done a tremendous job of supporting the PLAY all this time. So finally, when it looks like they've probably given up on it, their games are buggy and IAP infested?

What font are you using? It looks nice. o.o

So it appears in the launcher... then some XP code is embedded in the game. But why the hell don't GL make it available to us without build.prop tweaks (which is a hassle) like Gangstar? Description of GV says it requires 2.3 and up yet we can't have it.
GL dropping support can't possibly be the reason since people who acquired the game illegally say XP support is embedded! Grrr!

XP gamepad is usable in the game . But still , it's too lag for me to play the game . Need to wait some more updates i guess .

Maybe because it's still unstable for XP they didn't want to release the game for our phone on the first release . And i'm not really "illegally" owning the game because i downloaded the game using my sister s3 and ripoff the apk from that phone . xD

I finally downloaded this game legally by editing my build.prop to Xperia X10 then back to R800i. XP controls layout appears as everybody has already claimed but it lags and I can't play properly. With 245MB free RAM before starting is still crashes after just one run. VERY LOW graphics settings is actually already good, but it still lags. I think it's really time to 'up' the game.

Guys, available NOW !
