This is freaking awesome, Johannes!!!!

I would like to ask you if it's possible to add support for CDXL movies (Amiga/CD32). I had created a thread here related to it which has a couple of interesting links:

The Amiga scene has seen several CDXL releases lately. The unofficial CD32 compilations (http://unofficial-cd32-ports.blogspot.com.br/) have been released with video intros converted from Sega CD to CDXL, for an example, in order to avoid the requirement of the rare and super expensive FMV add-on of the CD32 to play videos.
Last month they released a conversion of Time Gal to the CD32/Amiga CD format which pretty much blows the Sega CD version out of the water AFAIK:

I know it's a lot of work involved in supporting another video playback format but, man, lots of Amiga-related video content could then be played on the Saturn (since the Sega CD is just too limited by the MD's palette to do so properly).

Coolest thing I've seen from Jo Engine yet.

Looks really promising. I always wanted to see how the Saturn would run Super Mario 64. At least we get a glimpse of that with this, hehe. Very cool, cant wait to see more.

This is very impressive indeed, can't wait to see what homebrew games come out of it!
