Hacking Could Soldat be ported to Vita?

[Tarmfot]

As Soldat has been released as open source and original resolution of the game was 640*480 and Vita has 960*544. Could Soldat be ported to Vita?

Source can be compiled with FreePascal (instead of Delphi 7)
Fully cross-platform
Uses well known libraries (SDL, OpenAL, GameNetworkingSockets, PhysFS)
Old GUI has been removed and needs replacing
Config files have been replaced with IdTech style Cvar’s
Major refactoring

ROTFLMAO just because source code has been released doesent mean shit can be ported

Free Pascal is a 32, 64 and 16 bit professional Pascal compiler. It can target many processor architectures: Intel x86 (including 8086), AMD64/x86-64, PowerPC, PowerPC64, SPARC, ARM, AArch64, MIPS and the JVM. Supported operating systems include Linux, FreeBSD, Haiku, Mac OS X/iOS/iPhoneSimulator/Darwin, DOS (16 and 32 bit), Win32, Win64, WinCE, OS/2, MorphOS, Nintendo GBA, Nintendo DS, Nintendo Wii, Android, AIX and AROS. Additionally, support for the Motorola 68k architecture is available in the development versions.

Well. I think perhaps is possible.
Ps Vita is ARM.
PSP is MIPS.

Are you a coder?

Yes I'm a coder for a company and I'm under NDA so I can't say what company

Well, clearly YOU aren't a coder. Just because the code can be compiled for a given architecture doesn't mean shit. All of those consoles have graphical chipsets that dictate what is and isn't possible, and the code would have to be overhauled GREATLY to work with them.

Can it be ported? Probably.
Will it be ported? Not until someone starts porting it.

You could put up a bounty for it on CBPS or Vitadb.

Ok!

I "coded" a litle decades ago. A pain in the ass.

Vita got VitaGL, isn't it?
Vita didn't support opengl. But now it can run Q3.

This version of Soldat isn't the original.
I understand your arguments but sincerely I am surprised you seem a litle angry.

Yes I'm angry because of u little kids think it's so damn easy to port anything to anything

Idk Nintendo sure makes it look easy

Oh I didn't u worked for Nintendo's development houses can u give some insight in how they make it so easy?

It was a joke regarding how everything is getting ported to the switch

Your boss needs to hire someone else. With enough effort, you can port anything to anything (hence versions of Windows for Mac waaaaaaaaaaaay before Apple switched to Intel chips), doesn't mean it'll run WELL.
Also, stop reinforcing the stereotype that programmers and coders don't know how to properly interact with other human beings, you f**king tool.
