Convert Nebulus with CicoParser #2

Closed oklemenz closed 1 year ago

oklemenz commented 2 years ago

First of all, I very much like what you are doing with CicoParser. Thanks for your efforts here.

I very much enjoyed Nebulus (aka Tower Toppler) (https://www.bestoldgames.net/de/nebulus) as a child, and would love to play this in pure Javascript in browser.

Any idea, if this is possible with CicoParser, to convert the Nebulus executables, like you did it with Xenon2, etc...?

Out of curiosity I tried converting this game to see how difficult it would be, and it looks like it should be fairly simple

Started working on completely new converter based on capstone disassembler, and ported 6 games to verify this proof of concept. Looks very promising, but unfortunately I am working on completely different project right now in my spare time, so I can't tell when I will get back to it.

Wow, amazing. Meanwhile I found another JS port https://carlc27843.itch.io/nebulus which is really good. Looking forward to your updates. 👍
