But why 3.1? What does 3.1 have for games that 3.0 doesn't?

What does 3.0 have that validates not needing to update to 3.1?

Nothing, but I ask again, what does 3.1 offer that's important for porting games, or anything for that matter?

My merely mentioning was the fact that *MOST* people are using 3.1.

First of all I asked NovaCoder, not you. Second, not everyone feels the need to upgrade. I mean, upgrade what exactly? If someone wants to run 3.5 or 3.9, then they have no choice. That's why I asked what 3.0 offers over 3.1 that justifies making 3.1 only ports.

There's no conspiracy, so feel free to remove your tin-foil hat at any time..... :rolleyes:

That's just ridiculous. Do you really think that I think it's some kind of conspiracy? The rolleyes smiley probably means you do :rolleyes:

Thorham, please refrain from commenting on this thread any further. You're doing nothing that's adding anything to this thread and trolling doesn't count. I won't bother responding to your final comments, giving you flame bait.
This will certainly be my last post about this nonsense (no, really :)). You started about the conspiracy crap and you're doing it again with the 'trolling' and 'flame bait', while all I did was ask a simple question. I truly don't understand that :(

I wonder if Cave Story could run well on a 80Mhz 060?

After watching a trailer, I have to say that you can probably make a conversion by hand that runs super smoothly on a plain A1200 (Turrican 2 on Amiga and C64 come to mind). A 060 is total overkill. Obviously, if you port the peecee version as directly as possible, it's going to run like crap, but that's a given in this golden age of bloat ware.

there is no way that cave story 3d would run in plain A1200

What trailer you checked?????
This one: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cr0CCkH49g0. No 3D in sight :confused: I just googled Cave Story, and assumed that what came up was a retro peecee game :lol:

Zombies vs Plants would be cool. Pity the franchise is owned by EA now :(
