Any chance to create a port to Wii U?

[wikiblog0]

Good day,

I wanted to ask if it is possible to adapt the decompilation of sa2 so that it can be ported to Wii U? If so, would you be willing to port it to Wii U?
I would like there to be a native port for the console, and with the excellent ports it has, it would be a good addition to the repertoire.

Best regards.

I think it would be easy enough to adapt this example to work with directly blitting the software rendered game frame to the screen: https://github.com/MatthewL246/wiiu-hello-world/blob/main/main.c

It's not a priority for me at the moment though so I'd only do it when I have motivation. I also don't own a WiiU to test it on (Emulators can be more forgiving)

Ports aren't a priority, beyond testing.

Concentrating on having a proper release on one platform is and will be a lot of work in the first place.

But in theory any platform with an open source SDK can receive a port... it's just unwise to do before the codebase is actually ready for it.

This is true @JaceCear but IMO a port under the software renderer will remain even with a proper renderer until the renderer is then ported to other platforms. I don't think having more targets under the software renderer causes a burden for the proper port. Though as you say it's not our focus, but I am using this project as tool for tinkering with other platforms ;)

Well it could certainly help with finding bugs related to Endianness. ^^

@freshollie and @JaceCear I appreciate your response to my question.

Best regards.
