Currently, no, it won't be able to do ES 2.0 windows. There's some code in the 1.3 head of SDL that comes from the Google Summer of Code project to do an iPhone version of SDL. It doesn't play nice outside of that environment, but there's at least one person working on cleaning house on that...

It can be a hard sell, yes, PoisonedV... However, having said this, I've got TWO ports in progress, two more after those are done, and we'll see what comes of it after that. ;) PM me a email contact over there at Hothead... :D

RealMyst used the same engine for Uru, just in an earlier rev... QUOTE I don't know about Uru on the Pandora, it had some pretty high requirements, I recall that it needed at least a Geforce6600GT to properly enjoy. Of course with some "distance fog" and low res textures it might be OK...

Gruso...go for mentioning it as a maybe. NDA's signed and on it's way back to Elecorn. Final contracts being drafted for pay schedule for the formal part of this.

Heh... You're preaching to the choir. I've got two differing audio towers for all of my consoles... ;) QUOTE But emulation is tricky to do in software, and it simply doesn't work very fast yet. Depends on the emulation, but yeah... Having said this, emulation's only largely relevant...

I suspect you've got the auto-sense mode on. It's going to drive you batty and I can see why you chose VGA over HDMI. Unfortunately, for many, that's not an option- on many it's either HDMI, Component, or NTSC. Period. Fortunately, though, you can force modes on my Phillips monitor such that...

Soul Ride Caster Ballistics Bandits: Phoenix Rising Europa Universalis 2 and subsequent titles using that engine (Maybe...NDA's have been signed, waiting to hear back from Paradox Interactive...) There's other stuff possible if these projects get done quick enough (I'm fighting with SDL 1.3...

That doesn't fit the bill, now does it? If it doesn't have HDMI/DVI/Component/Composite(maybe...) or somesuch like it, it's NOT the same thing. Most of the relevant stuff now does HDMI/Component with a Composite/S-Video fallback. Most TVs do those, not VGA out. Some do DVI and DVI will do...

Heh... Stop thinking of a gaming machine as being a PC (even though it IS one...:D). Studios and publishers LIKE consistent targets. A Windows PC isn't one of those. A Mac sort of is, sort of isn't. A Linux PC is only slightly better than a Windows PC in that it's more stable when you...

Actually, there's a bit of a challenge there. A Linux PC, as you put it, is an X86 machine. To make a credible machine in the same class (and one quiet enough to count as a comparison), you're going to shell out 500-800 dollars US currently. Compare this to the Beagleboard weighing in at...

Heh... Wouldn't know if we get that far, but I'm saving up money so I can pitch in on that... ;)

It's not in the size that matters, it's what it can do. If you apply the same premise that you're trying to apply here, the Wii isn't a console. ;) Performance-wise, it's probably shy of a Wii, but it's definitely weighing in as a console class device that fits in the palm of your hand.

Excuse me... The 3D and DSP drivers got released just recently. And not just for Pandora. What Beagle does, we can do and vice versa- and they're showing DSP based video playback and 3D support amongst other things. QUOTE Please don't forget: the last 5% of the Beagleboard project is yet to...

Yep. Now, some of them could benefit from 2D/3D accel that'll be present with using SDL 1.3 (There's a hint in that, there, gang... ;)) but they'll work largely out of box without the needed modding for that sort of support. QUOTE Im sure when the time is right a lib pack will become...

Actually...they've never been "tried" before- they never got past varying design stages. If you're referring to Indrema, it never got out of the gate because of the downturn cutting off funds. If you're talking about "Gamix", it was a nifty idea (akin to Games for Windows) VERY poorly...

Actually, calling it that is insulting to the Donkey and it's feces... ;) QUOTE Windows 7 is actually based on Ubuntu and uses a virtualization layer to support non-native applications. Uh...NO. Well, at least not with Windows 7. All they did was polish the turd a bit with Windows 7...

Heh... Glad to hear it... NDA's all that needs to be done at this point- we've got royalties, etc. squared away (and he was more gracious than I'd been to myself... :D) and it'll move from merely the "maybe" to the "going to happen" list. I'm reviewing it here in a bit and I don't envision...

The thing is that the patents in question have something on the order 10+ years of life left to them. Keep it solidly in mind that there's a window of about 17-20 years unto which you can't commercially (and this includes making kits, parts for kits, etc...) DO something that touches on a...

Heh... Worse comes to worse, I can put a service in Linux that simulates a BSOD. Not that anyone in their right mind would WANT that, but it could be done... ;)
