PROBLEMEXPOSITION

Your favorite plattform is one that is currently not supported by VICE, and you want to know if it will be supported in future revision.

INFO

VICE is a big project which is written in an architecture independant way, so it is relatively easy to port VICE to another architecture. Anyway, it is not a job which can be done on one or two afternoons; from experience, porting VICE to a new plattform takes approximately one year.
As all members of the VICE team are doing VICE in their spare time, they usually don't have the time to port it to some plattform they will not use themselves, so it is unlikely that someone from the team will do the job. Anyway, if you are an experienced programmer, you are free to start a port on your own. Anyway, keep in mind that it will take much time, so be sure you have enough for this. Before starting, you could ask if someone has already started such a port so you don't need to do thing someone else already did. If you're just waiting for a new port, without doing the job on your own, in most cases, we will not be able to do anything for you.
