Any plan for a GPU plugin using SDL for Windows?

**aldo** · August 3rd, 2002

Currently we only have P.E.Op.S. Soft SDL GPU for Linux.

To be more exact: currently we only the have P.E.Op.S. Soft SDL GPU for the FPSE Linux port. It will not work with the ePSXe port.

Anyway, no, at least I don't have any plans to add the SDL library in the Windows port.

thanks for reply Pete

Question is: what do you hope to get by the usage of SDL? I can't see any good reason (beside portability) for it...

the answer: portability

I was looking for a reason _beside_ portability...
and of course a plugin will not automatically easier to port, just because it uses SDL...

I think too,
plugin is not easy to port on various system.
We are not talking about emulating a cpu or chips. So every system as his API and drivers, more differents....
I think that it's also a trouble port a linux plugin on FreeBSD system for an example.
Plugins in part, is a direct connection from hardware to software main exe, but the systems are differents, so it's hard for me.
