How do you make games for consoles

[Robin_Manager]

Hi everyone, (probably the hardest question every asked)

How would you convert the games made with MMF2 into games for consoles such as the Wii and PlayStation 2?

[James]

I think you can play Java web applications on the Wii, but that's about it..

[knpmaster]

I don't believe Wii supports java.

[Robin_Manager]

I found out that it supports flash 7 and some Java

But is their a way of turning .exe games into compatible console games?

If that was the case, real developers wouldn't have to spend months to convert their games or buy expensive engines that are cross platform.
Short answer: No.

Hey random:
I think this is ironic
"Those who say something can't be done should stop bothering those who are doing it."

Because i am trying to make games for consoles but you are saying it cant be done (not being nasty)

But thanks for your opinion

MMF can make Windows executables and Java applications/applets.
If your console can run one of those, fine.
If not, you'll either have to get employed by Clickteam or pay Clickteam to make a console runtime, or get employed by or pay the console maker or Sun to port Java to the console.
Those alternatives aren't impossible, just incredibly unrealistic.

wii can't run java games, just flash 7 ones. you probably found that it can run javascript, not java itself

[FungalGrowth]

Yeah, Dynasoft is correct. Trying to get an MMF game running natively on the console yourself is not going to be possible without going to such lengths that you'd be better off programming it in a language the console can understand.

For Xbox, Microsoft has the XNA development software, which is similiar to C.. At the moment I believe it's impossible to get Java running on Xbox, so no MMF games on it. It's also locked down hard, so no homebrew software either. PS3 however can run the Linux OS, and potentially run Java on it. I think getting the game to recognise the controller input may be a problem though...

I don't know if the wii or other game consoles can support java.

So it may potentially be possible to run a MMF game on a PS3 or other game console through java. But not without ALOT of effort...
