OK I'm probably gonna be laughed off the site, but I'm a devout WINDOWS supporter. I was wondering if Ambrosia was planning on making a windows version of EV anytime soon. I was running on a mac emulator, but my demo expired and there was no way I was going to buy one to place on my ultimately superior machine. So just say yes or no and I'll thank you a lot.

Nope, sorry. This topic has come up several times, and I don't think Ambrosia's ever going to change their minds on this subject. If you love EV, get a Mac!

Look around on the board for a post about Basilisk. It's a great emulator that I've used for EV since my Mac got fried.

If you're going to get laughed off, you shouldn't say that, much less call your machine superior. Just a tip.

Didn't I just post this?

Basilisk, which I think is a free 68k emulator, can be found (url="http://"http://www.uni-mainz.de/~bauec002/B2Main.html")here(/url). If you need help with the setup, I think there's a link to a guide at the bottom of that webpage.

No, Ambrosia isn't going to be making a Windows version of EV anytime. The reasons are basically this: Matt Burch doesn't know how to code for Windows, and even if he did, Windows doesn't have "anything resembling a resource" (quoted from someone, forgot who), which completely destroys the game, since all of the gameplay data (planets, missions, etc.) is stored in resources. If you want to (pointlessly) debate this, you can head on over to the (url="http://"http://www.AmbrosiaSW.com/cgi-bin/ubb/forumdisplay.cgi?action=topics&forum;=Escape+Velocity+FAQs&number;=28&DaysPrune;=20&LastLogin;=")FAQs(/url), where you would have found your answer in the first place.

Grow up. You probobly make the same exact statements about Macs, and PC users probobly disagree with you just as much as you disagree with plattypus1. It happens that you're right ( :p), but there is still no reason to flame people.

EV will never be (natively) for the PC. You may play it using an emulator.

Please read other posts and the FAQ before you make a new topic.

As for Mr. Moose, who flamed plattypus1: do it again, and I'll start dropping karma. There was no reason to be that hostile, even if he was being a bit arrogant. This is your final warning against flaming, plus the fact I have no idea what an "rj drinker" is; maybe you meant RC? Either way, it was lame, and out of line.
