We won't support it officially here, sorry.
Yeah. I wish there was. But how would it get an official support for it? Wouldn't there be any active developer who have interest in Switch especially here? I'm just curious. That's all.
Official support demands time and man power (in other words, someone to update it). Two things we don't have at the moment.
When we add an official platform, its not just porting - that is the easy part. To give support, to fix bugs that may appear only on that platform and to continually offer support to it is the harderst part.
They had ported a very old build, so a lot of things can go wrong. Specially when trying to be back backward compatible.
I should had worded it differently. Instead of "we won't support it officially here", I should said "I don't see it happening", because its not me who call the shots here. The final words about which port will or will not be supported is given by
Damon Caskey .
And why I say taht? Because we can't simply port the engine to a platform and stop to offer support for it out of the blue. If the coder who is working on that platform vanishes, we will have a burden to carry on our shoulders.
Plus, even Swtich being pretty cool, Nintendo isn't (its the polar opposite in fact). And since you need to hack the Switch to be able to run OpenBOR on it, we could have problems with Nintendo.
