What if we had in D-I a game-loader udeb that would scan th iso image,

D-I people, what do you think
Good idea, altough do you have a technical way we could scan for games ?
AFAIR, udebs don't have the section information, so we can't use that.
What if we we impose the restartiction that all game udebs have
"-game" in their names and use this info to select them?
game-<foo>.udeb maybe ?
Or we could use a special XC-Game-Udeb header for this exact purpose ?
I think, it should not be so much game in the installer.
A special header will not be useful or ?
Have in D-I a game-loader is not very important, if we had 1 good game, it
should be enough. Something like 1 in graphical mode and 1 in text.
How much work will it be to do a game-loader and some udebs games.. ?
I'm thinking abour libSDL*, each game should be modified, and we need
libSDL udebs.
I already have tentative libSDL udeb, and Sam hocevar promised me to apply
them. I need to clean them up and send him the patches. Will do this WE.
I also already have a icebreaker .udeb, needs a bit more work, but i played
with it in g-i in extremadura.
