Yeah, me too. A new one, not an old, widely available chestnut. It's different for other porting projects with reasonable resource and time-frame scale, but here it seems like a truly huge undertaking+licensing issues, and so most likely nothing will happen, perhaps even with the tech itself. Anyway, I'm not a dev, so I'll leave it at that. Just find it odd is all. |

In regards SF2, the problem is the arcade state machine and porting. |

But making a port for this game ain't easy either and would require some serious dedication to get it done. It's not just the code. As Dennis showcased in the video you also need a dedicated artist to take care of the gfx conversions (including crop, resizing and color management), prepare the character frames, prepare the background and level parts, decide on palettes, prepare stuff for copperising, e.t.c. e.t.c. Not to mention the extra retouching that also needs to be done. That's almost as work intensive as coding would be with such a title. And pretty much the same applies to the music as well. That is, if you're keen on pushing for a prime quality port of course. So given the high toll (remember, we're talking about the most complex and ambitious modern port ever attempted for Amiga, just because the game in question is SF2 and it's a beast to begin with), plus given the fact it is a very alive, known and active IP (so there are serious licencing dangers involved), it begs the question if all this effort would be better served on an original title instead (whatever this may be). Having said the above, I would personally be thrilled to see someone attempting this task (and succeeding obviously) but I can also totally understand the fundamental reality behind such an undertaking. Hats off to anyone brave enough to embark and getting it done |

Dennis and me came to the conclusion that its nearly impossible to recreate the flair and playability of the original game without having the exact gameplay, movements, "physics".
I read about the X68000 version here, was it as playable as the arcade version and could it be a better target for reversing than the CPS version? I don't know the X68000 specs but if its a bit closer to what we need than the Arcade Version we can think about it again.... Still it might be good to have more 68k/reversing experts for that. We're still searching :-) |

Isn't the Super Street Fighter II: The New Challengers, somewhat descent port? Even on OCS
If we ignore the graphics, of course... but playability seems waay better then any other version. [ Show youtube player ] The easiest way would be probably hacking this graphics and change it. Or if someone could dig source code - even better But I am not sure if "hacking" is possible at all. |

The X68000 SF2' version has been assembled with the arcade CPS1 source code latest version. Capcom did the same for Final Fight X68000. This one has been assembled from the japan CPS1 source code 900613 (it's written inside the x68000 executable). The x68000 SF2' version could be indeed a possibility for porting. A good one too because the game is in files. I can zip the files from the disks if you want Quote:

I know its a big ask but could any clever person change the values in SSF2 so bigger sprites and background graphics can be inserted, that way you get around any copyright issues you already have the ai and gameplay.
I know they based the game on the snes version not saying they ripped the ai directly probably more tried to simulate it but its pretty spot on. |

That is a pretty good blog and that and this thread tells us why a excellent port was never released.
Now days it is a lot easier to reverse engineer stuff than it ever was back then and the skill and time and money that would of been required was beyond anything anyone was going to commit to. |
