Confirmed platform ports?

If I missed this already being in a thread, I apologize.

Is there list of confirmed platforms that will be receiving a ResidualVM port?

Windows, Mac, Linux, PSP, NDS, PS3, Etc...?

There are builds for Windows, Mac and Linux. There was a port for Dreamcast but I don't think it has been kept up to date and someone has ResidualVM running on Maemo which is a variant of Linux. And ResidualVM runs on PS3 with Linux on it.

No PSP, shoot.

Hmmm... Okay then, I see.

Guess I'll have to stick with the Win version.

I recently picked up a PS3, because of the price drop. I can't afford to get a discontinued Linux compatible model, so the soon to be majority of PS3 owners have no way of running ResidualVM.

Guess I'll check back in a year, or so, to see if any progress has been made on a PS3 port.

Well there are two backends for ResidualVM SDL and Dreamcast, so you may be able to compile it for any platform that supports SDL.

And SDL has been ported to Windows, Mac OS X, Linux, the PSP, Syllable, Haiku/BeOS, OpenVMS, WebOS, MorphOS, AmigaOS, and AmigaOS 4 (according to wikipedia so that list could be wrong or incomplete)

So PSP is a possibility, but I have no idea how you would go about it.

In any case ResidualVM's only engine grim is not complete yet so ports or official support for ports is not a big issue at the moment.

Apart from other platforms being denied it's crashy-buggy goodness.

(Disclaimer: I know perfectly well ResidualVM is alpha and that these things take time, and I'm cool with that, really; but there's no harm in taking the mickey on occassion, is there?)
