Homebrew developer Akop Karapetyan (aka uberjack) is known around the PSP homebrew community for his excellent emulators that allow users to try older games and applications on the Sony handheld.

The coder recently posted an article over on his personal blog, revealing desires to come up with ports of older games for the PlayStation Portable. He said:

Most recently, IÂ’ve also considered porting older games, however, and if someone else doesnÂ’t do them first (I hope they do), I just might do a port myself.

Two obvious choices right now are OpenTyrian, a rewrite of Tyrian, and Wargus, the Warcraft II-compatible RTS engine based on Stratagus.

However, uberjack also mentioned that he “happens to have an inherent dislike for hardware abstraction frameworks”. While no concrete plans have yet been revealed, these two will certainly be welcomed with open arms if they ever materialize.
