Hi,
As porting the SDL version to other OSes than Linux seems to become an
important issue, I plan to add the following features in the next days:
I would like to raise an issue which I'm not sure if it was looked closely..
Lets see what do we have today:
* 3 Busses (ISA, ISA PnP, PCI)
* 4 Processors (Pentium Pro, Arm, PPC, Sparc)
* 4 Network cards (NE2000 ISA, AMD PCNet, NE2000 PCI, 3COM PnP ISA)
* 2 Graphics cards (VESA, Cirrus Logic)
* 2 Bioses (PPC BIOS, Generic Bochs/QEMU BIOS)
* 2 hard drive formats (RAW, COW)
And I'm sure I have forgotten few things, not mentioning QEMU is not
that publicallyy published (wait for Slashdot effect)..
I think that something needed here: A plugin mechanism.
What I was thinking that QEMU missing is a way that upon running QEMU
(either first time or doing a first scan), it should "scan" for new
hardware and register them as plugins (with depenedencies, so you cannot
use PPC BIOS with Pentium Pro processor ;) ). That way a new plugin
(either open or closed source) can register itself and a user can simply
use it without having to configure everything..
The method I was thinking was something like Xine player uses when
initializing the player..
Fabrice, others, what do you think about it?
Thanks,
Hetz
