Minecraft Legacy ported to PS2 and Wii by fan project

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

A fan-made project has successfully ported Minecraft Legacy to the PlayStation 2 and Nintendo Wii consoles. The game, rewritten in C++ from the Minecraft Java 1.2.5 source code, is optimized to run on the PS2's limited 32MB of RAM, achieving 15-30 frames per second. The Wii version offers a more comfortable experience and includes experimental online multiplayer functionality. Players interested in these retro ports will need to soft-mod their consoles to load the homebrew code. AI
