BeOS Port

[ciruZ]

Hi!

Will there be a more current version of the BeOS Port soon?
If it's planned, do you need someone who helps you with the port?

It's planned, but if someone want to do it, i'd be glad to help. As far as i remember, the problem was the lack of good 3d acceleration on beos....

Well, afaik that wasn't BeOS's Problem since R5 anymore. But the drivers where missing.
I think a good, optimized Software GFX-Plugin will do his job good.
On other platforms like the PSX, there a softwareplugins that work very well.l. For example for ePSXe. So it should be possible to create an optimizted Software GFX-Plugin.
But it's good that it's planned!

Err, no it's not planned, my fingers forgot the "not"... Sorry to have put your expectation too high...

 

[ciruZ]

Hm, well, but do you plan to port it if there is a good software gfx plugin?

 

[Hacktarux]

No... because i'm not using this OS at all... but i'd be glad to collaborate with anyone who'd like to try porting it. Anyway we don't have a fast software gfx plugin yet....

Well, when there is a good software gfx plugin, I'll try to port it..
