I don't know about DirectX compatibility - there was none when I worked on PSX. Development is done using various cross-development tools (PsyQ, a subdivision of Psygnosis, was the leading producer of this for the PSX when I quit doing games); the compilers used are the GNU ones, with some mods. Version control is up to the developer, of course - and quite a few use CVS :-) Eivind. To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-chat" in the body of the message
