[Prboom-users] PrBoom for the XBox

[<kin...@gm...>]

Hello !

I just browsed through the CVS today and I recognized there was some
activity in the last days ... I hope that means we will have a new PrBoom
release very soon ;)

OK, the real reason for this post is that I had the idea to have Prboom
running on the XBox. Since PrBoom has a great portability this should
not be a big problem, right? Anyway, I'm still not very familiar with "such"
a project. Hopefully I will find some people here who have also the
interest to see their favorite Doom port running on the XBox. Please
commit!

I figured out that someone called "lantus" has already ported a version
of WinDoom to the XBox, but the project is suspended and the release
hasn't reached more than alpha status. Maybe some of the experience
from porting WinDoom to the XBox can be used for porting PrBoom.
The same guy has also released a port of the SDL library for the XBox
and this is as far as I understand a very good possibility for running
PrBoom on it. Here are some links for your reference:

In closing I just want to ask if somebody of you has been able to run PrBoom
on the XBox Linux
distribution http://xbox-linux.sourceforge.net/ successfully (OpenGL mode).
Please write back your
experience on this.

Thanks a lot !

Kind Regards,

PS: This is maybe also the chance to start developing a
"crossplatform-ingame-frontend"?
