Hamsterball on modern hardware
[edit]Following the release of Hamsterball in 2004, there were numerous attempts to have it playable on modern hardware, given that the game was released before modern hardware could be manufactured. In September 2019, the developer uploaded a publicly available ZIP file that contained the game's original 3D models from before its original release. The main problem with this was that the folder contained incomplete files that would not work with newer versions of the software that was used to create the game (Autodesk 3DS Max), even though the ZIP file also included a tool that would enable the files to be converted to the game's proprietary file format. This problem would finally be solved in December 2020 when a modder named Carsillas managed to create a custom level after reverse-engineering how the game's 3D coordinates were read. The successful testing of the custom level enabled other modders to convert the original fifteen levels of Hamsterball to a Unity-compatible format for use in Marble Race, a video game from Elastic Sea that would be released in 2020.
