This will be probably the longest shot I've ever taken, but ... if anyone out there is fluent in Japanese (as in, not "I took a college course once and I have a Japanese girlfriend"), and is willing to chat with me about anything, I would truly appreciate that more than words could express. I'd be happy to return the favor with lessons on English, programming, emulation, reverse engineering, ROM hacking or server administration. I need someone to have actual communication with. But I know what a tall order that is: who would want to talk to someone they could barely understand, right? It drives me up the wall trying to listen to people who can't speak English, so it's only fitting that the reverse would apply to me. It's not that I choose to be annoyed by bad English, yet it's still karmic justice, right?

Kega FuZion (most accurate Genesis EMU) and bsNes (most accurate SNES emu) are dead because the authors went psycho.

For more info, visit byuu's site and/or D-BOY's forum.

There's a clever script on both sites to either goatse.cx you (on byuu's site) or give you a picture of someone's head being slashed off (on D-BOY's forum) if it detects the site you were last on was The Whirlpool or selected other sites.

These two guys are very, very clever but spiteful and childish too. I reckon we haven't seen the last of either of them yet...

All I remember is that the guy who was leading the fan translation of FF Type-0 was apparently insane.

also when they got a C&D for the translation I think he physically assaulted someone, but that might be a different fan project I'm thinking of

Autism spectrum disorders are weird. You can be able to code a perfect SNES emulator on a machine level but still be completely unable to pick up things involving other people.

I hope he gets over his chest pain and learns to like himself. He gave the world a pretty sweet emulator. Dude uses FreeBSD so he's probably beyond help sadly.

bsnes owns but i don't get why byuu has worked on it in a long time because it's perfect and plays all the obscure rear end jjapanese games that launch using a saltine and the soul of a businessman

bizhawk is the best emulator now

honestly i'm surprised to hear that snes emulation still needs active development. there's no emulator that can play all the games yet??

when bsnes first came out he had a section on the games it fixes from poor inaccurate emulators and it started with "zsnes doesn't do kirby 3 right" and he ran out of stuff really fast and was doing niche japanese games and the classic gem, speedy gonzales

it's not going to be dead for at least a hundred years at which point all languages will be dead, but there's still manga and anime to be enjoyed today. carpe diem.

If you're trying to make an accurate emulator instead of a "good enough" one then getting obscure and even bad games is important.
