Wii port?

What parts of Irrlicht would I need to change if I wanted to port all the features to Wii? I think I know a few:
Drivers,
Device,
File System,
Mesh and texture loaders.
Are there any others?
Thanks

You don't need the Wii dev kit, there's homebrew on Wii.

Yeah I was going to use DevkitPro the event receiver would probably have to be changed too right?

Some guys tried it already and eventually gave up for some reason which will be documented somewhere on this forum!

When considering a port of Irrlicht on any platform, you can start by focusing your work on implementing :
a device class (IrrlichtDevice)
a video driver class (IVideoDriver)
a texture class (ITexture)

The rest should work fine if you use relative paths (I'm thinking mesh and texture loaders here) and you should be able to render most of the examples.

As said after the first post, the inputs are an important part, I'v never done anything on this side, so you'll have to figure out by yourself

Specifically on Wii, the real problems should be on the memory management and the right hand coordinate system for the 3d part. Also plan some time on compilation issues if you're using Cw (solved by #defines mostly)

Feel free to pm me for further questions if needed... And good luck !
