I don't see how that will happen - won't it just mean replacing "#ifdef SIMULATOR" with "#ifdef SDL_TARGET" ? Looking at the current code, there seem to be a lot of #ifdef SIMULATOR checks which are not needed - e.g. lines of the form: #if defined(CPU_COLDFIRE) && !defined(SIMULATOR) can just be changed to: #ifdef CPU_COLDFIRE - the CONFIG_CPU macro in the config files aren't defined for the simulator. Another problem is simply hardware features of targets which are not implemented in the sim - mainly the MAS on Archos devices, radio, recording, plus various other things like HAVE_PWM_BACKLIGHT_FADING. How would your proposal deal with these? I'm not convinced that a radical change in architecture is needed - the time might be better spent just implementing more features in the current sim, and ensuring #ifdef SIMULATOR is only being used when it absolutely has to be.
