    I read about them from the RetroRemakes competition, I'm sceptical but it'll be nice if it does well.

    I was sceptical, too, when they started their thread in the GP2X community almost two years ago...

    So, people familiar with the GP2X stuff might know this already and as a lot of people here seem to be interested in the development of handheld games, I thought it would be cool to let you guys know about it. Soo, OpenPandora is a project started by a bunch of people from the GP2X community quite a while ago, whose aim it is to create a handheld device for developers and homebrewers which runs on 100% open source software, meaning that there are no fees for developers tools or anything and you can modify the software/firmware as you like, but which still has enough hardware power. The project was smiled at in the beginning, however now it's going insofar as they're releasing the first 3000 units which can be preordered by interested developers on their site from tomorrow on... uhm, yeah, that's pretty much it for now. People managed to run several Linux distros on that machine, someone even ran Quake 2 on it and several emulators are in development as well. Pretty cool stuff.

    Looks rad I'd add a little bit of texture variations here and there - I'm sure that you've planned that already though

  • Normal Map with blender

    • Sindwiller
    • September 29, 2008 at 7:52 PM

    Blender can only bake world-space normal maps, which store the normal information and the lighting information of a single scene. What you want are tangent-space normalmaps, which store the normal information only, so it can be lit dynamically. You have to slap a material on your model and do a full render bake, as described here: http://wiki.freegamedev.net/index.php/B ... map_baking

    PS. Don't be such jerks guys

    EDIT: Great, bumped a thread. :-|

    And my point is, unless given a valid context, it's not.

    Which is true.

    it doesn't support many formats, including WMV.

    Yeah, because WMV is a) ultra-proprietary and b) lame and as for the other codecs, you just have to install them to use them (DivX, xVid, Ogg/Theora/Vorbis, etc.)

    Anyway, a great program for converting just about any video format to any other video format is Super. It's been around (and evolving) for years, and I really can't think of anything that comes close — particularly considering that it's free.

    Virtual Dub? It's pretty good, too

    May I just point out, when you buy a game, cd or film you don't buy the rights to do anything with it, other than follow the rules which most people blindly avoid. The software itself never belongs to you. Only the hardware ... and rightly so IMO.

    Yeah, that's the thing with commercial software actually. You're not allowed to modify it or bypass security checks etc. in any way unless permitted. Not that those limitations are bad. They're reasonable in most of the cases (note: it wasn't like that until 15 years ago or so).

    Quote

    I don't give a monkey about DRM, I can't remember any siatuation in the past where I've needed to install a game more than 3 times.

    So you throw away all your games after a year? Interesting.
