Oh hell yeah this will save us AMD users so much headache, I really dont understand why it was taken down recently.

From what I understood it was AMD having a problem with ZLUDA but now suddenly its okay again? Whatever as long as ROCM is improved or benefitted by this im happy.

    AFAIK: Development at AMD funded the dev to make it support AMD GPUs (instead of the then-supported Intel GPUs), Dev keeps a clause saying any and all work will remain open even if contract is cancelled, work is then halted by AMD and dev releases his updates on his repo, Legal then says later that the clause was not legally binding and can't be enforced or such, making dev rollback to earlier Intel version

    Yeah it was said by email, i actually did some research and turned out it is indeed not legally binding, i think it is good to know.
