Imagine how many more people would play it if it were available on a mobile device. Wouldn't it take much more work?
Hey guys, I made an account here for the sole purpose of congratulating you guys on your work so far, it looks amazing, and I can't wait until the release. However, I do have one question. will there be a way to play it on a portable device, such as an ipod touch or a DS?
If there is a way to turn it into a GBA or DS ROM, this may perhaps become more epic than RBY was back in the day.
good luck!
While I'm sure I'm not alone in wishing this could be put on a DS or like things, there are issues that will vastly complicate that.
Firstly, as others have mentioned, is formatting. It would need to be converted into a format that a DS can recognize. I don't know whether Sphere could be recognized on the DS, but, from what I gather from the other posts, I doubt it without much work and many changes.
Secondly, and probably most important, is filesize. A .ds file (the usual format for ds games) has a filesize limit, and thus limits the features that can be put on it (I have been yelled at a few times for my idea on a hack because of this issue). I've come to realize that this is the reason that nintendo does not have more than 4 moves on a pokemon at a time, why they don't put in more than one region at a time, and many other things. Simply, with all the memory they have to have with 493 pokemon, two gender versions, and shinies of both of those, then you add up all the data that comes from creating routes, trainers, etc, everything that comes with creating a region, and you can see how quickly the storage available is eaten up.
Unfortunatelly, I'm not super-familiar with the .ds file format, what the actual size is, or what it can do, but what I do know is that if this game was ported to the ds or other mobile device, a lot of features would have to be nixed...and/or graphics would suffer as well. I hope this answers your question.
Also, this is an MMO isn't it? Would Nintendo's Wifi be able to support the amount of players?

@ any one on the team who will know: Any chance of releasing some screenshots for us fans to take a peek at, we haven't seen much from in game...
Yeah, I'd really love to see some screens of this game in action, also.
okay this is a dumb question but when can we probably expect to play it? i dont mean that is it done by the end of the month or so, but i wanted to ask that what do guys(the owners and staff of the lost world) think where will you be with it by the start of summer?
1. whatever.
2. I did read the rules
3.I never asked for a release date
4. thank you for answering my question
5. i know it's not a ROM, i was wondering if it could be ported, or be made to work on a portable device.
6. Opinions are opinions, whatever.
