alien vs. predator and american mcghee's alice please

Do you have the source for Alice?

I didn't think so. It's a Lithtech Engine game, IIRC.

Quit posting this kind of CRAP. Nobody can port to the Xbox without COMPLETE source code.

Game source is NOT "Complete Source" DAMMIT!!!

Alice was based on the infamous Quake III Engine (probably the most whored gfx engine to date) not Lithtech's.

I know its on Rtcw but its not the full game, and i cant use it alone. (it doesnt have all the demos, and it has new music) and you probably could port spear of destiny too.

That doesn't change the fact that it cannot be ported still.

Hawk is based on OpenGL.

There is no OpenGL translation yet available (no, SDL does not support full Open GL yet)

Or even Star Control 2...how great was this game?

http://sc2.sourceforge.net/

Anyone with Linux installed on Xbox wanna try the linux port?

I have Descent for the PS1 and it plays great. A Xbox version would rock - especially if the engine has been enhanced. I loved this game on the pc.

The Descent (I think it was 2) port I tried ages ago seemed really buggy still however...I couldn't really get it working in either directX or openGL modes...would just keep crashing or not displaying properly. I don't know how much progress has since been made...

I note on the Star Control 2 page that they say it should be easy to port to any system with SDL...I think Lantus has ported an xSDL.....so there's hope for an easy conversion there...

Ultima 7 Game Engine (EXULT)

http://exult.sourceforge.net/

Port this someone if possible.

Exult is being developed in C++ under Linux, MacOS and Windows using the SDL library to make porting to other platforms relatively easy. The current version supports much of the game's plot, allowing you to talk to NPCs, use items, solve quests, and even fight monsters. Music, speech, and the full introduction are also implemented.

I think the game would play a lot better with an xbox control pad than it ever did with mouse and keyboard... hmmm right thumbstick for acceleration/deceleration and straffing left thumbstick for POV and buttons for weapons

That said I can't be much help in getting this working for Directx except to say that the 1.2 patch for Descent II did work under Direct X in Win95, and the released source states it includes most things in the 1.2 patch save some low level sound and modem issues, so perhaps Descent II would be easier to port than Descent 1?

I'd like to see Powerslave ported to the xbox... I've only played the saturn version (Exhumed here in PAL territory) but it was a fantastic FPS with cool enemies, weapons and music.

the devs (lobotomy) aren't around anymore, probably not open source (anyone know where to search?), but jeez it would be good.

Lobotomy were saturn gods, the saturn duke 3d port was amazing.

I agree with the people who want doomsday engine ported, It would be really cool to play those games with the great graphics on xbox.
