Dear Hyperion.

When the betas of RRootage and Xmoto (SDL/GL) ports got released by me and varthall you mentioned that the bugs that prevent these games and other possible SDL/GL apps to run without glitches was already fixed.
Couldn't you _please_ consider releasing a very small update with the needed fixes to the SDK and libs for us to be able to compile and use SDL/GL stuff?
That would make SDL porting a whole lot more fun, and users would get a lot more things to use/play with. Most SDL apps use GL to draw stuff as it's the fastest way, it would open up a big door.

Just a tiny little update, no fancy stuff, the needed libs/includes only... It would take you 15 minutes max to get out the door. Pretty puulease with sugar on top! ;)

PS. a short status report on OS4 would be great aswell! :)

Best wishes! / spot

Did he mean email- or web-address? There is no geographical address on the OS4-site.
I am not even sure if Hyperion has a "real" office. Maybe most people are contractors and work from their homes.

If he mean a physical address, he can send an email to ask it.

An Impressum/imprint defines the person who is responsible for the website content. This does not necessarily have to be the same as the company address.

I doubt MESA is ready for release yet, and i thought asking for that was asking too much... my chanses might be bigger when asking for something tiny as this.. ;)

@polka.

Taking into account that the person in that address is the Managing Partner of Hyperion Entertainment, there's a BIG chance that if you send a letter or parcel to him with something like "To: Hyperion Entertainment VOF" written in the label, the letter/parcel will eventually reach its destination, don't you think so? Perhaps you are looking for something else...

Saluditos,

Ferrán.

How about the newmem kernel as well? That would give developers chance to fix anything that breaks under it, before an official OS4 release.

I'd love an update, too.

I forget, what memory system does OS4 currently use? If it uses that Slabs system they mentioned, then I could remove my own buddy-allocator from PortablE, which uses extra memory, and no-doubt slows things down cos of the 68k emulation vs PPC system allocator.

Has anyone met these guys? I haven't heard of any of them involved in OS4 projects.

I know you are familiar with the line Rogue got tired of saying repeatedly, to the
point where he put it in his signature:
Quote:

Hans-Jörg Frieden. I work for Hyperion but I don't speak for them. Got that?

Here's a line from a post from Rogue:
Quote:

I need an okay from the management,

You do realize who owns Hyperion, right?
