Sorry to bother about it again, but in SDL_image, only 3 formats require an external lib to be read : jpeg, tiff and png. Personally, I'd be happy only with gif images :)

Yeah, but JPEG and PNG are by far the most used formats. Also, just partially porting SDL_image wouldn't make it SDL_image anymore, but some dirty stripped spin-off.

Now that I think of it, a trimmed (and possibly renamed, to not confuse the user) version of SDL_image would probably be possible. I'll look into it.

I thought nSDL only supported BMP? ???
I guess it's good that it supports other format since BMP is massive when not in 8 bit or lower format.

Well, nSDL does support only BMP :P that's why someone developed SDL_image, an add-on for SDL.

I don't think you should be putting false info in a FAQ

What false info is there in the FAQ?

I tried. I can't at this stage. It's like I'm dealing with magic. I don't understand anything anymore. I'm frustrated as fsck. Please read (and watch) this, understand my pain dear brother:

I didn't think SDL_image was harder to port than the SDL O.O but yeah, it looks like a big work, I think that it takes a bit more than several hours to complete :P

Does it run Crysis?

Yes, the latest tests show that nSDL runs Crysis at about 47 FPS in ultra (note to Fox News: the TI-Nspire doesn't actually run Crysis at 47 FPS). nSDL has been designed with performance in mind.

Ninja edit: Didn't read the brackets. I am a dumbass-_-. Sorry folks.

In any case, in any FAQ about an outdated hardware (anything below 512 GB of RAM), an answer saying it can run Crysis is obviously a sarcastic joke. :P
