We added a new core, DirkSimple. This brings the total number of available cores on Steam to 60 now.
DirkSimple is a core written from scratch by icculus, one of the original creators/maintainers of popular open source projects like SDL. It can play some of the 1980s LaserDisc arcade games.
A new concept we’re going to try, we’ll see if it lasts. Expect irregular blog posts like this, whenever something is on our mind that we want to share. It’s basically like a development diary where we discuss future plans for upcoming versions and what we have been thinking about doing.
