Re: Should I stock up on CRT's...

True story: Where I live there are several used PC dealers who buy pallets of last-gen hardware from big companies, banks, universities and the like, refurbish them and sell them with as little or as many stuff as you'd like for really good prices if you are in need of one or a bunch of basic …

Well, I can't document EVERYTHING. But as it turns out, computer books and magazines (and books in general) can be said to be the ONE physical item I collect. Not to keep on a shelf only but to be treasured, read, re-read and/or used. Ballpark estimate: 132 titles - including some college textbooks …

If any new wrappers are to be authored, I personally would love to see another obscure proprietary API wrapped, like PowerVR SGL or S3 Toolkit, for which we have (at least) the SDKs (though not the sourcecode to the SDK/libraries).

Do I understand correctly that the problem with MAME's license is that it does not allow sale as part of a commercial product, which is bad because DosBox is the emulator of choice for Good Old Games and other commercial vendors of classic games? For better or for worse, that's the case. In certain …

As mentioned before, the IPF decoder library has a notoriously restrictive license. As mentioned earlier in the thread, this is why Olivier Galibert of the MESS team "black-box" reverse-engineered it as a work-around. http://git.redump.net/mame/tree/src/lib/formats/ipf_dsk.c http://git.redump.net/ …
