![]() ![]() I was basically told that if it involved libretro, he didn't give a s-t and I could basically pound sand. Provided all the useful information I could, including debug data that actually isolated the reason of the crash due to register overflow in the 32-bit ARM recompiler when playing Hydro Thunder. My first interaction with him was when I - quite innocently, as despite his claims, there was NOTHING on github at the time directing me or anyone else to any other resource - posted an issue on github a couple of weeks ago about a libretro core crash on a specific title. Dude is clearly socially awkward as all hell. What IS concerning - to me, as an end-user - is actually stenzek's behavior. Listen, I'm not defending their 'leader' in any way, shape or form - don't know the guy, wasn't aware of any drama with him prior to this, and frankly not my concern. It's so satisfying to see everyone attack RetroArch. Now, about 20 years since the initial release, the emulator is mature enough (well over 95% compatibility) to start caring about actual usability. What's the point of having a new shiny GUI if your emulator can't actually run games decently. PS2 is famous for batshit insane architecture, and it's entirely understandable that the development team chose to perfect the actual system emulation first, clean up the codebase, get rid of hacks, before going for enhancements. But it's still fine, I don't understand how people can complain (unless they're rather new to the scene). Or a more convenient way to fix per-game settings (which you can actually do even now by editing. Maybe a convenient ROM viewer with a DB of game covers would be nice. This was a bit painful (though tolerable). It had no GUI in the first place (just your command line, ugh). I remember old "good" days when Makaron was the only Dreamcast emulator to run Windows CE games (even if run like crap). People have grown spoiled these days, with those out-of-the-box-experience developments, which they take for granted as they genuinely feel entitled. ![]() Join us at /r/EmuDev Android Emulator accuracy tests:Īre you an emulator developer?
