I can save and restore games just fine, not counting that you can't overwrite an existing save game "slot" with a new savegame. There does appear to be some sound problems when restoring, where I'll see repeated messages about unknown MIDI commands from a song handle that doesn't really exist. > * Does the SDL full screen crash bug still exist? It doesn't crash, it just doesn't display properly. If anyone wants to try to deal with the SDL folks again, feel free. I'm just tired of going on wild goose chases and having them blame the platform. Each time I've asked them for help on this, I've gotten a different answer about how FreeSCI is doing it "wrong". I started taking the other Matt's OpenGL test program and retrofitting the OpenGL calls into the SDL driver a few weeks ago. It won't be speedy, but it will finally eliminate the dependency on SDL. (There is also a GDI driver in Sarien we could pull from, but I don't remember why I stopped going down that path.) -- http://www.clock.org/~matt
