Please mods don't lock the topic, this is not a request, just a strong hint that some of us might want to port this to the PSP

6502 assembly, huh? I wonder if a port comes out of this. Probably only once it has been rewritten in C with an SDL (or so) basis.

I would LOVE to see a port of this game. There has to be at least one dev that shares the nostalgia I have for this game and the ability to port it to the PSP. *crosses his fingers*

Crap, I was so excited I didn't even check, I stupidly assumed it was C... I guess you're right

lolz joking aside

WTF? It's all in assembly! Too much hard work to port this... You'll have to know Apple II's architecture and rewrite it in C... So sad.

EDIT: oh JJS already said this I'm late as usual...

Impressive stuff: someone had previously ported the game to the C64. He was reversing the game from memory dumps.

I would love to port it as long there's an 'human readable' code available. Let's wait a little, I'm quite sure something will happen...

Hope someone will port this (to PSP)

If anyone wants to do a port, maybe they should start with the open source reimplementation "FreePrince" (C + SDL).

The original website was here (now "hacked" ): princed . org ,
luckily the internet archive has a version too: http://wayback.archive.org/web/*/http:/ ... inced.org/

Source code can be found here: http://popot.org/get_the_games.php?game=FreePrince

Edit:
Meh, somehow this doesn't really look good. Both a self-compiled Linux version and the Windows binary produce really messed up results. Might be a problem on my end though.

I will probably not mess around with it any further. Just saying, I don't want to keep anyone from giving it a more serious try
