Let me try to show you what I mean:
Developing CS for a PC took 5 years ( with knowing the Source Code)
Developing CS for the PSP isn't finished I guess.
Developing CS for Nintendo DS failed.
No one knows the Source Code.
I guess Pixel isn't interested to show the Code around.
so I guess the Chance that someone gonna code the whole engine and that stuff for a Pocket PC i like about 0.25%

Actually, pixel does give out the source code under certain conditions.

PC version was done from scratch (thus 5 years).

Mac port has been around near forever, it was the first complete port.

I have been playing the complete cave story PSP port for over a year now. It took ufo_z less than a week to build it once he had the source code.

The DS port is much more more difficult than other ports, it is still being worked on to my knowledge.

Don't forget the complete Amiga, Linux, X-box, and GP2X ports.

All it takes is a cave story fan who knows C++ and Assembly, is also a Pocket PC fan, and is willing to go the whole way.

I'd prefer CS for cellphones, since not everyone has pocket pc, but almost everyone has cellphone(s)

Rewrite cave story as a Mobile Java Game? You would have better luck with a gameboy mono port to be honest.

Port-O-Meter: Damn Near Impossible.

An iPhone port is not out of the question though.

i have never done any programing before, but for other games that i can get on pocket pc, like doom or duke nukem, someone created their own executable program that was created for running on the pocket pc that would run the map file, .wad file, for that game, if i don't know what im talkin about just tell me

I always dreamt of playing CS on my cellphone in company of friends instead of just bragging about it. And now thanks to you, I'm gonna have nightmares instead. :mad:

Damn you andwhy, go screw yourself. :mad:

On-topic: Are you serious about that? I'll be the emoest person in the world if you are. T_T

Rewrite shite.

The shite is too shite that it requires a rewrite. Nice song.

And why the hell are these talks on CS on DS and PSP and Tamagotchi and now.. pocket pc.(and cellphone :mad:)
I know CS is damn great and taste-pwning and spirit-posessing and whatever-ing, but don't you guys think pc is damn enough? Which is why Pixel....... wait. I dunno anything that he thinks, so I'm not making any assumptions.

Handheld ports make it possible to play Cave Story on the go. (Which is why I haven't played the PC version for such a long time)
OS ports make it available to Linux, Mac and Amiga users.

And pixel gave permission and source code for these ports.
