This sounds pretty cool, I'll have to give it a try.

I wonder if it's been ported to PSP or DS?

Can't port, he's sitting tightly on the source code... runs well in wine however.

Dungeon Siege 1 & 2 did exactly that, IIRC.

Ha. You'd get 1-5 FPS. It takes some serious processor power to run DF.
Fast RAM helps a lot too.
EDIT:
On the subject of porting DF, a port to the Xbox 360 arcade would be nice. Triple 3.2 Ghz should run DF rather nicely. It might even be possible to max out the embark area and get a decent FPS.
If the 3rd party PS3 OS-es supported cell architecture fully, and DF was restructured specifically for cell architecture, that could run DF wicked fast.

If you memorize the hot keys, the interface isn't that bad.

I remember DF has a sort of rpg game in it as well.Where you have a single character.
I wanted to ask if there are any good text based rpgs with an open world.

Metal extraction is half the game! You can make Wind Generators too.
