@neauoire oh, I like the sound of that. Just a random thought after reading this article — maybe it would also make sense to have API at virtual machine/emulation level for media resources. Like, to have image not as a complicated PNG, but as a two dimensional array of RGB values. And if you want to feed this program a PNG, you just have to convert it to this simple format at the virtual machine level. But this would probably limit applicability to programs specifically made to be preserved. Idk
@mks_h it does yes, the software we write that targets uxn are pretty simple things(it doesn't even support RGB), it's dedicated to hosting a specific type of software, the programs I use to write music or play live shows, the text editor I write everything with, a few games, but not much else.
I can imagine different VMs to be hosts for different scales of software preservation :)
