That damn func blows up on a lit of platforms 
never had a problem on panda devboard yet, but on evry other platform probably an sdl bug, and usually can be worked around with depth or surface changes if it's the same one I always catch. Damned thing

Thanks, Adventus
I'm really looking forward to it and hope you can iron out the bug.

As a (naive) user I would pick N64
As a developer I would say that its completly up to him - thats why I chose the 3rd option.
After all, the number of wrappers and functions to speed up porting increase and ports start to be only a matter of re-compiling. The N64 plugin (gles2n64) however is more complex because it uses a large number of OpenGL functions, porting is not too easy. But thats done already I think, the next problem is to optimize it as wrappers usually add overhead, N64 is hard to emulate on Pandora anyway, thats why anything has to be optimized.
I would guess that GemRB is easier to optimize and port when the functions and wrappers used above are integrated (probably with changes from gles2n64) as it probably doesn't use too many OpenGL features and I would assume that the parts which have to be changed to be Pandora compatible are not too time critical.

yes that´s the point which entitles the big amount of criticism - you´re right.
i was a little bit confused because i just looked at my post and didn´t recognized what i´d said in the poll
i was too harsh concerning this. sorry above all addressed to adventus.

Nice one Pickle. GemRB should rock on the Pandora. Any chance of a video? Please

But there would less point in porting it. You would have to be involved in the development of the software itself. If it was fully working I would love to play Planscape Torment on my Pandora, maybe actually playing it through this time. That game is on 4 CDs IIRC, and great story.

As far as I'm aware, porting it to the Pandora isn't that difficult when you know how it needs to be done, so once he's done both it will be quite easy to port updated versions in future. As was mentioned earlier, he's not a dev for the apps, he's just porting them.
So if you will allow a non-techy guy to ask.. does this mean we will see the games on the pandora (fully playable), wont see the games, maybe possible see the games, etc? When? Not soon? up to x-number of developers, etc? I think that it would be more than amaizing to see these games on pandora, but I aint a developer so am subject to the development of others, and am in no postion to do other than request. That being said, this discussions means little to me unless a fully playable game can be developed in the (hopefully) near future, and can be played by the lay-man like me.
Just one guys opinion......

GemRB is an Open Source alternative for the Infinity Engine. The Infinity Engine can't be ported, because it's not Open Source. Thus the Pandora port of GemRB will have the same features/shortcomings.

It was meant as a reply to this, especially covering the "fully playable" part.Tokiopop said:
