VenomSpark wrote on 2023-06-02, 20:17: for first part, I suggest just put all your SBEMU files directly on main root of C:\ and not inside any folder, so that you just add the lines jload, sbemu ecc. without any directories. At least this is how works for me. My fixed line is working, its just not …

I don't know what kind of challenge this project was/is for crazii. But at a certain milestone you need to take a break, marinate on your accomplishment, and decide where to go from here. Sometime, it is nowhere. I can tell you now, crazii's life long coding ambition isn't writing SBEMU full-time. …

I did note that compatibility was a main concern of mine (I think, if I didn't I am dumb). That's why I suggested the emulated gpu solution. In theory, once we get it up and running, we could "overclock" the gpu's and give it a lot more juice to work with, perhaps enhancing certain aspects to allow …
