Gigas RPG maker being ported to the PS2

[Da Brass]

Pirotic of the GP32 scene has began a port of his Gigas RPG maker to the PS2.

Here's the lowdown:

its a bit cheap, it just renders to a 320x240 buffer then stretchs to the screen - so it's a direct port of the GP32 code, just figured i'd put a piccy up just out of interest. DMS3 only atm, as the elf file has to be booted from dev mode, then you just put a CD in with the game folders on.

Here's hoping the Nintendo DS is easy to homebrew for - imagine playing the game on the top screen, and being able to edit it in real-time on the bottom screen

GP32 is the main platform still, so it'll get finished on the GP32 before i start doing any proper ports - then it'll be open sourced, but i'll probably do a couple of ports myself (PC/DS ideally).

Most likely this would work with any kind of way to load the ELF file, including MC Exploit.

Thanks to finty101 for the headsup

Sounds excellent. An freeware RPG Maker for the PS2 is an excellent idea. Good luck to Pirotic on porting his GP32 prog & when it gets ported to PS2, I will play it. This is great since the PS2 needs more homebrew progs.
