Emulator checks are evil

Seriously. I'm stuck in NTSC-land, so all this cool PAL stuff you Euros code is inaccessible to me on real hardware. When you add emulator checks/blocks, you keep "casual" fans who enjoy seeing C64 demos, but don't care to import a PAL '64 and monitor and associated high-end transformers to turn 110V/60Hz into 220V/50Hz from ever seeing cool stuff. So PLEASE ignore the advice in the emulator bugs document and keep on making no-check demos.

please have pity on the n00bish emu kiddie responsible for the post above.

You can say what you want about VICE, but they're the only crossplatform c64 emulator there is (that Java-based one notwithstanding, I'll just ignore Frodo for now, since AFAIK it hasn't been updated in years - But what about that ec64, enthusi? That's an X window! 8)... I'll just assume those other Emus you quoted are Windows-only, too..

Crossplatform, people! It's not rocket science! SDL is more than sufficient for a c64 emulator! Why the fuck can e.g. CCS not be done in SDL, it has its own c64-based config screens anyway!

Was there not, in fact, a linux version of ccs 0.9?

please do. btw,do you use the latest Hoxs64 (or any directX9 version) ? Im wondering if Wine comes with the directX9 libs. afaik Hoxs64 v1.0.5.0+ requires that d3dx9_31.dll is present either in the directory of Hoxs or in the system.

ec64 uses sdl but for now compiles only under UNIX.
it should be not problemto have it fully portable.
BUT it can not at all match other EMUs yet. I hope this will change in the future. Alot.

enthusi: Is Nic ( / The Dreams) getting active with ec64 again or are you taking over? :) BTW fully portable may not be that easy, as it contains some x86-assembly.

well portable as in win/unix :) Sorry that wasnt very specific. Its fully x86-asm. Only SDL + frame are C.
NO, Im not in there. Im just a user though Id love to see it grow. There are some enhancements done yet by him recently.

Yeah, fail! 8) And so is WINE for that reason.... Linux does not only run on x86, you know?...
