yep, it works... I've got a vidtest plugin & an extra function in the
virtcode guest for testing purposes and I can now from the guest:

open a ptc console in a specific x,y resolution (ARGB8888 format)
close the console
do a complete update of the console with pixels from the guest

(ptc==OpenPTC @ www.gaffer.org/ptc)

only "problem" I currently have is that after opening the ptc console
it's window is also made active, is there a way to make the plex86 gui
active after I have opened the ptc console?
