release and debug, x86 & 64.
Anyone else have this issue?

Looking at the source it seems you need to use BRL.SystemDefault instead, it does the initialization of the correct system while BRL.System is just the interface.

You need to either :
Framework brl.systemdefault

or
Import brl.systemdefault

I'll add some "throws" to give an exception similar to brl.timer.

brl.system is now basically just stub to allow different implementations of a "system". The default functionality is in brl.systemdefault.
Other implementations are in sdl.system, for example.
The reason it needed to be split out is because you can't mix such low-level functionality - for example with event handling... you can't have two separate drivers sucking up all the events between them.
brl.timer is the same. It has a brl.timerdefault for the same reasons.

Also the joystick stuff was split to make it easier to implement things like virtual joysticks (for touch screens).

I've now added driver null checks which now throw a more useful error if you haven't added a system driver implementation.

Thanks! I wasn't aware of differences.
