Journal: Most Embarrassing Post of the Day*

As an emulator developer, i see huge use cases for this.

"When I was working on the S3 code for the Itanium platform, which version of dosbox-x was i referencing for S3 register functions?"

"Which version of the S3 documentation of the five I have all timestamped the same was I referring to when I had this source file open?"

Etc.

I'm actually excited for it - and may buy a new capable system *just to have this functionality*.

My next desktop build will also be focused on enabling this to work .... when they bring it to x86 instead of just ARM anyway. Q3 intel releases that should be capable of supporting it are just around the corner.

Note: I develop mainly on winidows, but most of my code is deployed/runs on linux and solaris. Emulation I work on is for supporting legacy systems from the 80s/90s.
