So you don’t want to port it? We still need an UWP port and since you have demonstrated your are able to do it, we think it would probably be best if we give you a reasonable amount for this (100 Euros or so) and you could maybe port it for us instead. 100 Euros might not seem like a lot and it probably is pocket change to you, but for an opensource project like us, it is a non-trivial amount. A 100 Euros would probably be the same that we are spending each month on bounties as-is.
I disagree with your opinion about RetroArch. OpenEmu has zero ‘advantage’ over RetroArch in my opinion at this point, and as to it not being suitable for mouse + keyboard, I think is untrue and that if this is still the case, it won’t be like that forever. There is zero reason why RetroArch would not be suitable for UWP. And RetroArch has features that would take years of time to replicate in your standalone frontend… And our gamepad/TV centric interface would be best for a platform like Xbox One. There is no reason why LIbretroRT would exclude or negate the need for RetroArch on UWP.
I hope you consider this offer. It is well-intentioned, and it is the most we can give at this point given all our other expenditures this month and the next.
