Suggestion on plugins

[GoogleCodeExporter]

I've been using wii64 for quite a while now, and i love it. I've noticed
that you use a glide 64 plug-in for the graphics. and i think it would be
better to use Jabo's Direct3D8 1.6 plug-in, it is alot better than the
glide plug-in.

OR

I suggest that you add a plug-ins folder so you can put in other
graphics/sound plug-ins to test out.

Thank You.

... most plugins are coded in Windows... you need to port them to Wii first.

If you've never done anything like it before or if your unfamiliar with either
platform then yes, it's very difficult.

Firstly, it's not such a simple process as to drag and drop plugins into a 
folder to
use. Plugins need to be compiled from source, but even then, they require 
pretty much
a complete re-write to work on the GC/Wii.

We are currently using Orkin's glN64 which is a OpenGL plugin which we've 
ported to
work on the GX hardware. We are planning to move to the more compatible plugin 
coded
by Rice soon, but there is a lot of work involved to port it.

The reason we cannot use Jabo's is that it is not an open-sourced plugin, and 
even if
it was, it's more than likely heavily optimized for x86 and DirectX.
