PocketMatrix

cross platform... How many of you would port your games to an open platform?

for example:
if Pocket frog was on the Sharp zaurus? or a GAPI implementation... or do most of you use very hardware specific features w/o useing a library.

I am just looking at getting a the new zaurus coming out in Jan. and might port Pocket Frog or some other platform library...

Isn't this why middleware is developed and used.
Eg: Renderware for GC/XBox/PS2.

I suppose it comes down to good program design, trying to keep platform specific code seperate and encapsulated, so that you can rewrite your low-level code while affecting the high-level code as little as possible.

I suppose this is where using libaries causes problems if it is not availble for the target platform you are porting to.

PDAFantast: I would think WINE is VERY x86 specific, as the apps are already for x86, just the API is being emulated.. I don't know, something about it just doesn't yell out EASY PORT to me.
