SimCoupe for Android

Submitted by johnnapig on Tue, 2011-07-26 16:37. News

Any chance of seeing more ports of SimCoupe or has the project been retired now? It is such a perfect emulator, and I’d love to see it running on the new tablets / phone running Android.

It’s all open source and built on fairly well supported libraries (SDL) so if anybody has experience in building apps for Android I assume it would port fairly easily. I think most of the existing ports to esoteric platforms were done by third parties and not by Simon himself.

Personally I don’t have any Android kit so it would be difficult for me test the results even if I got the build environment. I’d be somewhat interested in seeing an iOS port, but it’s not clear that the App Store would accept it for distribution (and in any case I’m not sure how the controls should work using only a touchscreen…)
