I'm not sure if they improve the PPC emulation, but there it is

If Frode wants to attempt merge.. (last time newer version was merged, it become unstable and slower.. Back to old..)

What about WinUAE's QEMUVGA? Have you considered to merge it to upstream too?
Once. Someone who had something to do with QEMU had attitude problems that had nothing to do with the code. Also it looks like QEMU does not care about accurate emulation in expansion devices, only that it works with supported OS versions and is secure. (even if it breaks compatibility)

Any possible issue because the code got modified to a concrete platform or those fixes would provide a more reliable vga? I see SCSI, sound, glue code for qemu emulation in dll and network code too. Why? O_O
It was originally only used for Cirrus Logic emulation. Later other parts of qemu was added and I didn't want to change the name. I don't care about non-code related problems
