POTCO on game systems

[Stephen O'Malley]

It's not impossible, but it would be a ton of work. A friend of mine has been able to port games from system to system, I don't see why POTCo would be an exception.

Well my friend, there is a exception. ITS ILLEGAL. Simple as that. LoL

I agree with everyone above me. It would make a poor poor game.

When I buy a song off of iTunes, it comes in an m4a format. Maybe I don't like m4a format, so I change it to an mp3. How's that illegal? Pretty much the same concept here. If anything, Disney may not like you modifying their game files and you could get terminated for it, but that is by no means against federal law (as far as I know).

Back on topic, I concur with Captain Del on the subject as to whether or not it should be ported to an Xbox (or any other console).

They didn't mean that moving POTCO to a console is illegal, they said that moving a game from one console to another is. Because, in order to change a game's console you have to modify it, which can't be done on a console so you have to rip it to a Dvd-R. THAT part is illegal.

MMO's can't get ported to a different system. Why? Because of many factors like a console can't handle it, it would take a few years even with a team of maybe 20 people, and Quiet servers for the ported Console version would be even more laggy than Abassa on the Computer.

Ahh. Wasn't accounting for that bit.

My friend ported Toontown to another OS, and had little issues doing so. Just took a lot of time and effort. I'm sure the circumstances with POTCo are very different, but I still stand that it is not impossible to get a working version.

Which Operating System? Also to the argument about whether it's legal or not, it's illegal to mess with a games coding whatsoever. I know for a fact that Microsoft will ban your 360 console if they find out you are tampering with a games coding. Sony and Nintendo most likely have similar punishments.
