No plans. We're focusing on OS X but there is a great multi-platform emulator called RetroArch: http://www.libretro.com http://www.libretro.com

- parley 13y agoCongratulations on what looks like a really nice effort - I'm looking forward to trying it out. Out of curiosity, what are your main reasons for not making it a joint effort with RetroArch? I'm a modularity and reusability freak, but I know often there can be quite compelling reasons for not doing it.
- brymaster 13y agoOpenEmu has been in development for a really long time, first around 2009 which is before RetroArch came around. Our focus has always been a native OS X application while theirs has been cross-platform. Also, cross-platform UI's are a pain!
- dmix 13y agoSo why should we use your app instead of RetroArch? :)
- brymaster 13y agoThat's really personal preference isn't it? One has a polished cocoa UI, the other is a cross-platform app. There's no animosity between the two projects here in case anyone is curious.
- dmix 13y agoAh, a very diplomatic answer. I'm just teasing you with the cliche "why are you better?" pitch test. OSS with polished UI's are rare and desperately needed. Nice work.
- clarry 13y agoThe hard part is that once you go cross-platform, there's no such thing as a "native UI". If you target just one single environment, it'll be so much easier to make something that feels like it belongs there.
