» copyright
Recently there has been a surge of homebrew clones of popular PC games to the PSP. Clones such as StarCraft, Age of Empires, Red Alert, and more. Remember, developer companies of these games still have active copyrights on their games. Ripping sprites from their games and using them in your own homebrew port is illegal, regardless of what coding of the backend is like (obviously homebew code since the source for these games has not been released yet). Also, using the game's name in your port, even with different in-game sprites, is also illegal. So you could have a clone of say StarCraft, call it StarCraft PSP, and use different sprites as well, but you would still be producing illegal material.

» #9 is correct
Not only are you correct in every word, but it also amazes me that people will sit there and complain about PSP having nothing but ports, but yet they love playing nothing BUT ports on their homebrew capable PSP? Hypocrites.

While I don't have high hopes for this project (and I predict it will be discontinued soon), I do applaud the author of this project. Good luck in future projects.

While I hope this project gets off to a good start I highly doubt its going to go anywhere.
He says "Im 15 years old and new to programming.", and now he's wanting to port a full game (one of the hardest things to program) that was developed by many experienced programmers worked on.
It'll probably only go so far before the author hits a brick wall of their ability.

Actually #9 just quoted what the admin of psp3d said on his site about homebrew and copyrights. I agree that the rights of the owners should be respected. After all I don't think that Sony would have been quite as fast at closing up the holes in their firmware if the ISO loaders had never came out. I don't see them getting too upset at a few homebrew games and emulators. It's just that when people started copying psp games that's when Sony had to do something because it was taking money from them and their developers.

» Copyrights @ #9
#9, Although every word of what you have said is true, I am unsure of how copyright would effect this, as GTA2 is now available for free download; I'm not sure if it is considered 'Public Domain' .

good job pretending to be Agashka. Almost clever...
Anyhow, props to the maker of this program. Most adult Americans don't even know what a cosin is but this kid's already progamming logic based on mathematical functions.
Kudos

Thats not actually true. Just because the program has been released for free, does not mean any copyrights on the actual content or names are released.
GTA2 is still copyrighted and any unauthorised use of its content is copyright infringement.

» Clones do suck!
Those clones are just too sad. They mostly contain the original graphics of the game, but thats all. Non of them is playable. They're just cool, because people really want those games ported to their psp. But if your not good enough to clone such a game and make it as cool as the pc version is, don't try it. I don't say what you've done is bulsh*, but i bet you'll never reach the pc-version (not even nearly)..

Has Grandtheftendo been released yet? I've been waiting for it but I didn't know he released it. Looks fun.
I also think this GTA2 clone should be entertaining.

» I think everyone is missing the point
I can't believe some of the complaints I see in the comments sections - give the guy a break. So you don't see the point in this port? Then don't play it. You think Clones suck? That they don't reach a high enough level of quality? Again, don't play them.
This is this guys first program - he's doing the same as a lot of other people who then go on to great things. He has a project which he will enjoy, will be challenging and push him to learn new skills, and as a by-product is releasing the code into the community.
You may be right - it might be too ambitious, it might never be finished, but I say congratulations to the kid - I hope he keeps up the good work and doesn't let comments such as these get to him.
