I haven't tested my emulator in Windows with MingW because I also do not use Windows. But also it isn't really set up to work there. For UNIX machines it's an SDL app that expects interaction via the command line or through something that can provide the same input since that seems to be normative, and goes hunting underneath /usr for system ROMs, etc. On the Mac it's a native Cocoa application using that operating system's idiomatic document model. So you'll have to jump through a bunch of hoops even to be able to use it from the command line. On Windows I would imagine it should be more like the latter than the former, but I've not yet looked into it. Either way, I expect it'll be an independent set of code because the user expectations are different. — [[User:Tommy|Tommy]] ([[User talk:Tommy|talk]]) 21:57, 5 March 2018 (EST)
Oops, forgot also to add: I was so sensitive to not using this wiki for self promotion that I also declined to establish a page for my emulator, as I think I lack objectivity. Give me a shout if that was the wrong call, e.g. if it's better to have *something* that other editors can rationalise rather than *nothing*. Otherwise I'll continue thinking this is correct, that if the emulator is ever notable then it will acquire a page, but while it isn't you don't want everybody who just about manages to get something to compile running in here and writing odes to themselves. — [[User:Tommy|Tommy]] ([[User talk:Tommy|talk]]) 22:00, 5 March 2018 (EST)
