I was afraid of that, I remember the patch about dxr3 output being a patch. > I would rather see a directory structure like DirectFB with all the > drivers and plugins in one dir. So, I think you will have to patch the > source and build the output plugin as part of the lib. Damn, that sucks. Yes, that sucks. So maybe someone can come up with a video output patch that draws into a shared memory as output. We can adjust ScummVM (and other SDL based games) to the overscan, can draw on top of the game and even mix game and video or resize the game window. > Just FYI, you can see the output plugins here: > > http://www.libsdl.org/cgi/cvsweb.cgi/SDL12/src/video/ Thanks, for me it is just an idea that would be nice. I won't do it. Dischi -- It's not Area 51 I'm worried about- it's Areas 1 through 50.
