Porting from DOS to Windows

Post by Skyfaller »

If the source code for MechWarrior 2 were ever released, this report could be helpful for porting the source. It is about a game called Death Rally, but the technology used is pretty much the same as in MechWarrior 2 (DOS): Watcom compiler, DOS4GW extender and 320x200 or 640x480 graphics.

I previously stated that porting the MW2 source code would be too much work - I may have been wrong, but the real problem would still be to get licensed source code from Activision.
