Hmm, that's a good point. If memory serves Stefan just finished porting the whole thing over to a non-DirectX-dependant drawing system so it would not rely on people having a Direct3D-compatible graphics card...
if that's so, it would seem that it's becoming Device-Independant....
The trouble though is that when Stefan releases a new version, he has to do a whole lot of work, and doesn't want to do it twice...if he had to update a Win and Linux version, updates would take twice as long. Add in Mac version, since that one's been on the books just as long, 3 times as long...
What he'd have to do is invent an emulator that runs PERFECTLY on Windows, and one that runs PERFECTLY on Linux, and one that runs PERFECTLY on Mac, then update the core that the Emulator runs...
No small task. |
