Is it possible to convert a game made in blitz3d to a console game? I was just wondering.
Converting games
Miscellaneous Forums/General Discussion/Converting games It should work directly on PS3 consoles, using the openSUSE bootloader and running it under Wine.
On XBOX360 it's a bit more difficult, you need to have a specific older version of the BIOS and use King Kong maintenance mode to get access to the XBOX360 OS, so you can install Linux on it.

What about ps2 and wii?
There are some older Linux versions for PS2, but all the new one's support PS3 only. Wii needs also a similar hack like XBOX360 to support Windows games: http://digg.com/linux_unix/Linux_runs_natively_on_the_Wii
PS3 is the only console which can run Windows games directly. Kinda funny, since XBOX360 should do that better, since it's a Microsoft product :)

Thanks! I'l try some on my wii.

PS3 Linux has no 3D support. Even if you managed to compile Wine and get it running, you'd be lucky to get Minesweeper playing at an acceptable framerate.

If you have the source code and media, sure you could tire to convert it to the language for the console.What Lumooja is suggesting has nothing to do with 'converting games', WINE is simply a clone of the win32 api so that PE32 executables can be executed on Linux systems.
I actually dont think its too bad converting Blitz source to C# source, so XNA is a nice port of call if your up for it.
The only thing to watch out really is be aware that math methods in the .NET Framework such as Sin, Cos use radians not degrees, which I've seen confuse the odd peeps that have moved the odd thing over.

true the other posts were in running blitz exe's under linux, but if you know 2 or more programming languages then youd be able to convert one to the other, some seasoned C programmers use blitz3D to prototype as its quicker than setting up (or it was when it first came out) others used blitz as a stepping stone to other languages
infact there is nothing wrong with writing it out in swahili (sp) as long as the main commands are unaltered in the translation ;)
your functions could be davesprout xkcddotcom moomoobaahumbug
too if you want
but why confuse yourself down the line when you come to tweaking it
Thanks again.
