[QUOTE="Sean DonCarlos, post: 2133, member: 152"] I obviously can't speak for FarSight, but based on my experience as a code monkey, you are probably correct. They probably need to rework the ROM emulation to make it compatible with their multi-platform development environment. That's not something you'd want to code ten different times for the different target platforms. The other possibility is that the particular chipset being emulated has idiosyncrasies that trip up some or all of the newer platforms. If you've ever dealt with ROM emulators for old video game systems, some games are very difficult or impossible to emulate because they relied on certain chipsets or instructions that do not translate well to current processors.
