[Serious] [Port] Feasibility of a Ps Vita port.
Posted: Fri Aug 16, 2019 02:30
Now, I believe this topic has been mentioned before on this discussion board about a PS Vita port of this game. Since that post a number of years ago, there have been major strides in the PS Vita homebrew community. We have overclocking, 3d acceleration, openGL, and a number of opensource projects ported to the vita and to name some:
ioquake3 (OpenArena, Q3:Arena, Quake 3 Rally, and soon Urban Terror).
eduke32 (Duke Nukem, Blood, Shadow Warrior, etc).
Xash3d (Half life and Counter Strike 1.6).
libretro (retroarch).
The capalities we have are 500/494Mhz on the cpu, 333Mhz on the GPU SGX543MP4+ (Modified iPad 3 GPU), and 512Mb of Ram. We have vitaGL (GXM to openGL 2.1 translation layer) as well, plus the vitasdk (homebrew sdk) is pretty flashed out too. We also have a vita emulator (Vita3k) making it possible to develop homebrew without owning the console itself. Since September of 2018, "Minecraft" has discontinued support on the PS Vita; meaning it will no longer recieve content updates or bugfixes.
Advantages of a port over "minecraft LCE":
Infinite Worlds,
Multiplayer greater than 8 players,
Mod Support,
Cross play,
Worlds transferrable between platforms.
I am not asking for a port, I just want to bring attention to this incase somebody with the technical know how could do this. Thank you.
