Roadmap

When I started this modified version, I had early understanding in UWP

many things, in my view can be better, for certain things understanding C/C++ is important to solve some important issues

good now I have both side covered, UWP and C/C++ even I got to understand more about DirectX stuff

I know the latest release was in Sep.2022, but will try to pick this again soon

some things has to be translated to C++, and we can get benfits from the UWP APIs (...FromApp)

those APIs can greatly improve loading perfomance.

Why no 3D support yet

This is C#/.NET project, it has it's limited capacity within it's current ~software render

whatever I spent on that cannot be better than RetroArch,

even on 2D level I had to make many tricks to avoid the GC hiccups, so it's not something I can rely on it for 3D

also no one seems to be ready to join and get that ready, if I did it I'm sure it will be bad

I don't really have good understanding in DirectX and others.

Libretro VFS layer (new)?

it can also solve many issues that prevent UWP app from accessing to the content
