Motherboard had a writeup on the guy. He probably had an early working SNES emulator that remained unreleased out of spite.

i remember finding a really old snes emulator back in the day (vsmc?) that ran something like 3 games at 2 fps with no sound and the developer wanted something ridiculous like $30 in mid-90s money to unlock it so that didn't stop after 3 minutes. come to think of it, a lot of those old terrible emulators were shareware and pretty expensive considering that they barely worked

iirc one of the more popular n64 video plugins as of a few years ago was still being developed for glide because the developer was a basement dwelling turbo sperg who apparently couldn't afford a video card made after 1999

and then seemingly out of nowhere, final burn showed up and dumped playable versions of the entire cps2 library in our laps

i remember being more impressed with the story about how they got the encryption keys off the board than with the games

I wish his site was still up but a lot of special chips were decapitated by one dude who went by Dr. Decapitator. This is normally difficult and really expensive and we got this one dude to thank for a lot of working emulation

E: there's a bit of his site left on the archive

I actually ordered it back in the day. Pretty sure I still have the CD case and the stupid orange pamphlet that came with it.

It ran like rear end.
