Hi Hans,

No offense, Hans, I think that on the contrary, it's a good way to get
you back into the game ;)

Recently I stumbled across sdlmame on the internet, which unlike xmame
supports 107 / 108 now and I immediately fell in love with it, I 've
wanted to clean up or even rewrite the xmame code for a long time and
this looks like a good new start, so as some of you have probably
already noticed I've begun working / writing patches for sdlmame.

I have taken another approach:  pick up SDLMAME and remove
SDL from it, or more exactly let SDLMAME think it is calling SDL
while it is in fact directly talking to the X server.  The problem is
that I don't have much time in my end and it's been so long I did
any programming with the Xlib... so progress is slow: I only have
X11 + SHM, resizing is not working [pixmap alignment problem,
since colors are wrong], no sound, no OpenGL, no fullscreen.

So our respective works are kind of complementary.

I will take a look at your patches once OpenGL works with my
fake SDL.


Laurent
