I've set up a source forge project for the software gfx plugin. As i've already said, the goal of this project is to be as close as possible to the real hardware even if it's not possible to play games with it on a slow PC currently. The project isn't very advanced yet, but it's a good start and a good structure to get things easy to understand. I'm currently searching people interested in contributing to this project. If you want to help, or if you want to ask any question, you can contact me on emutalk.

The sourceforge project is there :

why the hell would you want Pete (which i will just assume isn't interested into N64 and still works on PSX) to work on such a plugin??

Because he wrote the Peops soft GPU plugin for the PSX. I assume he would know more than a little about software rasterization.

It's currently using the SDL on linux. For a windows port, i guess it would be better to derivate the VI class to add directx support (you'll understand it better after looking at the source code).

You don't need any specific library, just ideas, skills...

you should understand what the code does currently, start to learn the n64 gfx architecture by looking at these heasers : http://www.dextrose.com/index.php?s=3&m=19&f=234#f234

When you'll be more familiar with the code, you can join #mupen64 irc channel on efnet and we'll discuss about the details you'd like to know
