WinUAE w/SDL
Is there any chance that somebody will start rewriting the DirectX code in WinUAE into SDL? If this is ever achieved it would be easy to make OSX/Linux ports of UAE with the latest features. Just a thought, thanks for reading

Just replacing DX with SDL won't help much. GUI is Windows-only, same with features like printer, serial ports, direct harddrive support, video recording etc..

WinUAE is a port of UAE made specifically for windows.
It is not Toni's fault the main branch of UAE hasn't been updated for years. |

You're on the right track. Originally Bernd started UAE on *nix.
Then WinUAE came about because development ceased on UAE. Finally Richard started backporting WinUAE to *nix again as E-UAE. Ironic. I count myself lucky hardcores like Toni and Richard are even still interested in the slightest by their projects. |

It's just that it hasn't been done. I guess you could use SDL (spitting GFX\Sound) and WXwidgets (for the GUI), make it compileable with MingW\GCC and you'd have a pretty much portable thing a lá SDLmame. |

Hmmm, E-UAE is really far behind. Did it compile for Windows? Doesn't seem to be a Windows binary there.
