I think this idea misses the whole purpose of the simulator: The simulator is intended to write and debug high level code *for specific targets*. Making it a separate target doesn't make sense in respect to that. Having a separate "hosted" target is an idea that makes perfect sense, just not as a replacement for the simulator. There could even be 2: One SDL target, and one console target for the hardcore linux console fans. This way we could provide a nice media player for linux, and it would also allow making rockbox run on e.g. Windows Mobile devices. Regards, Jens
