[Require] N900 Grand Theft Auto Game - Top Down

As Above

Would be great to have, is the original game open sauce now or is there something VERY similar that can be ported to the n900 :)

GTA N900 Ftw :)

Re: [Require] N900 Grand Theft Auto Game - Top Down
 

tried it using the available amiga emulator?

Re: [Require] N900 Grand Theft Auto Game - Top Down
 

I've not tried this but would more so like to go through a direct N900 version than an emulated version if possible ? :o

Re: [Require] N900 Grand Theft Auto Game - Top Down
 

fairy snuff.
seems it is available for free now.

There seems to be OpenGTA (http://ogta.fifengine.de/download.html) which requires original game data files, but the first GTA is free to download nowadays (http://www.rockstargames.com/classics/?id=1) so that's not a big problem. I don't know how well OGTA works, but you can test it on your Windows or Linux machine. And of course it needs to be ported to Maemo for it to work on N900 (OpenGL -> OpenGL ES would probably be the most difficult task in porting).

Re: [Require] N900 Grand Theft Auto Game - Top Down
 

There is Payback from the Amiga http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jUFhNQpME0s but I can't imagine this being good on the N900 through an emulator.

I think you're gonna have to chalk this one up to "won't like, won't get".

That said, the PSX emulator running GTA might be playable on an overclocked machine? Not sure if anyone's tried this yet, sorry.

Re: [Require] N900 Grand Theft Auto Game - Top Down
 

If theres a GBC emulator available theres a GTA 2 version for GBC. Otherwise Chinatown Wars should be run-able in case theres a decent DS emulator for N900 available(I know theres one but I'm not sure of the status).

@TNiga looks like it was a pre-beta (alpha? :p) in 2006/7 and hasn't been touched since. There's a news post from 2008 on the main page but I don't think this version mentioned was ever released... judging from the screen shots you can't even use weapons. This would be awsome on the N900 and thanks for the link but we're talking about a mammoth effort.

Cool they give it away free now... dosbox?

Re: [Request] N900 Grand Theft Auto Game - Top Down
 

Can anyone have a try at porting it so we can have an n900 specific game if its all free now this would be the legal option - i don't own Nintendo Cartridges to use the emulators for those versions :)

What goes into the process of porting such a game for Maemo ?

Re: [Require] N900 Grand Theft Auto Game - Top Down
 

Thats for Amiga A1200 (1992), not Amiga 500 (1987) :p

Re: [Require] N900 Grand Theft Auto Game - Top Down
 

I thought there was something a bit fishy about that pseudo-3D game if it was from the original Amiga :D

I also lold at the "open sauce".

Re: [Request] N900 Grand Theft Auto Game - Top Down
 

have the 8bit demo version "working" in dosbox.
it goes in game but not really playable perhaps some tweaks to the configs would help.

Re: [Request] N900 Grand Theft Auto Game - Top Down
 

been playing gta1 for months on my n900!
using psx4all
oc'd @900mhz

Re: [Request] N900 Grand Theft Auto Game - Top Down
 

and I've also been playing gta london, on psx4all. so you can get a legal copy off ebay : http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Sony-Playstati...item3caec20d37 and start playing. lol

Re: [Request] N900 Grand Theft Auto Game - Top Down
 

gta 1 works good enough on psx4all :)

Re: [Request] N900 Grand Theft Auto Game - Top Down
 

Does it work at the desired frame rates on px4all ?

I like to shy away from emulation when it comes to playing games on the 900 so ive not really tried this method.

Re: [Request] N900 Grand Theft Auto Game - Top Down
 

How do you save your progress in GTA 1 (psx4all)? When I try to save it asked me to format the memory card! Do I have to use a micro SD card if I want to save?

Re: [Request] N900 Grand Theft Auto Game - Top Down
 

On an unrelated note:

I also accidentally found THIS!

Looks pretty cool (exactly like GTA2 but more 3Dish/Pokemon view).
Any idea on what game it is?
Port to N900?

Re: [Request] N900 Grand Theft Auto Game - Top Down
 

Looks like a Java game to me, and I think the top down view ing GTA 2 is cooler than isometric view. Also, the graphics look too cartoonish IMO.

Re: [Request] N900 Grand Theft Auto Game - Top Down
 

Yeah I was randomly going through image shack and I thought it was GTA2. When I opened it, was something different. Yeah, looks like a java game but having a closer observation it actually seems awesome.

The isometric view gives you a certain depth/3D from a 2D game (low requirements). I reacon this is better than GTA2 (graphics wise). There are health bars across interactive objects (ie you, the thing your shooting at). You can change your weapon at the top. Hope it is fast paced like GTA2

Its similar to THIS, man searched everything still cant find it
If you know/find it plz plz post or PM me, k?

Re: [Request] N900 Grand Theft Auto Game - Top Down
 

I guess that it isn't touch enabled, and also it would probably be very small on the N900 screen(most java games are for 240x320 / 320x240). IIRC GTA 2 uses a 3D engine(or maybe it should be called 2.5D) to render the buildings(which appears to have depth).
