  Ok, here's the deal: under macosx SDL_UpdateRect() automatically waits for vblank so calling it for each pixels drawn isn't a good idea at all. What i did is to remove all those updates calls for macosx and just use one in Get_Input().
  
  It was either that or having a huge array to gather all dirty rects and updating them all in one go. I made some tests and it seems to work perfectly now in both window & fullscreen modes, so maybe it would be good idea to modify that update code for other platforms as well ?
  
  I'm not specially interesting in working on that tool, i just used it as a test to see how to generate universal binaries.
  As it is now it isn't really interesting to me. I think it would have a much bigger impact if it was plugins driven, i didn't give too much thinking about it but having an interface such as this (more or less) for external plugins:
  
  // Enumarate the possible viewport sizes
  int enum_resolutions(machine_view *resolutions);
  // Get the maximum number of colors
  int palette_range();
  // Ask if a pixel can be drawn at specified coords
  int set_pixel(unsigned char *buffer, int x, int y, unsigned int *colors, int col_idx);
  // Fix the value of a color
  void set_color(int idx, int value, int *r, int *g, int *b);
  
  could help to create pixels & colors constraints / machine which would be useful to create gfx for eg. c64/spectrum/MSX/you-name-your-favourite-one instead of just the pc chunky.
  
  Also each plugin should have a function to save to the machine's RAW format.

• Macosx port updated (same urls), the slowdown should be fixed now.
  Note for the unfortunate mac users: right mouse button can be emulated with the shift+space keystroke.

• I made a test universal binary for macosx, it works but it's really too slow:

  Skid Row used to have good intros with skilled people doing them (for them) but this new incarnation doesn't.
