A library set for fast portable and powerful coding: UAE4ALL, NEO4ALL and DCaSTaway are Chui's SDL driver based.

But works, see GL-Test.

Thanks chui. Thinking how many platforms/OS are supported by the SDL, all things made to improve the libs seem really interesting for the people out there

Just for the people don't know anything about the dc (me

). What are the things remaining to port from kos to sdl-dc?. I think it's a very nice idea a multiplatform library that's lets you to dev/test most of the things in any OS/machine with the best perfomance possible

thanks

(ron, I PM'ed you

)

Maybe it's a easy task but a long time speends, because a lot of changes are need: events, sound and graphics. Depends of game/application.

Read official SDL documentation and see sdl-dc examples.
