Is anyone out there (or the author) considering it maybe?

Y'know -- to making a GBA port isn't a trivial task. And I don't have a GBA to begin with :/. Anyway, there IS a cross-compiler for FPC to GBA, but the Input/Output is of course very different on GBA. I DID think about it, but as now stands it's rather a far future possibility.

Hmm...I must admit I probably wouldn't have a clue as to how to go about doing that...I wonder if I might be able to get it running on the PSP instead?

A PSP port is out of bounds for now -- there is no FP compiler for PSP yet.

So is it a complicated process compiling FPC to GBA?

No, a complicated process it is of redesigning the game's output to use GBA's output routines and fit a GBA screensize.

Ah ok, fair enough, I'll stick to the PC version then :D

I think the GBA version would be nice Kornel, something to include on the possibilities ;) specially for a game of the nature of DoomRL

Haha ok ;) but then, I guess I will tackle PDAs as well xD

Yeah...but our games are not direct competition, more like complimentary stuff, arent them :P?
