You got it working never the less didn't you? So, doesn't need to be a dev to get there. Diana is 150% right once more! Doing the port is in the FAQ and in response to the help you got, plenty of it, you could do it, or worst case read the FAQ and create a port. I am sure if it is not perfect and you submit it, as much as you got help to get your stuff going, if there was something wrong in your port, or try of it anyway, you would get even more help making it right! Diana is right, you want to take and not give back what so ever and find excuses not to even give it a shut! This is a shame big time! Take and never give back! Real shame!
