[Coco] Coco 3 emulator and Linux

[David Ladd]

Everyone,

Also based on the source code to VCC it is fixed at DirectX 8.
VCC is compiled with Microsoft Visual Studio C++ version 6.
It is also using the December 2006 DirectX SDK.

Hope this information helps future trouble shooting :D

Thanks,

Dave
