[Scummvm-devel] D2D backend

[Max Horn]

Hi there,

in short, I see no reason for a D2D backend at all, as SDL works well enough on the only target system (Windows 7); it's "low resource" systems were one usually can gain some advantage by using a custom backend. OTOH, another custom backend would mean an increased maintenance burden, and thus use up resources that could be spent much more effectively on many other tasks. Such as writing/improving custom backend for ports that really need them, or improving the main SDL port, etc. etc (see also our TODO pages, the OpenTask page, the feature request tracker, etc. :)


Cheers,
Max
