Indeed. I got to this thread from your sig, curious to see what the emulators in question were, but it's almost impossible to get a reply in because the thread is constantly derailed.Unsigged because people don't need to see this shit. >>;
Until a moderator sees the pile of reports targetting this thread.
I read the thread from start to finish and it got really bad around post #36, then better, then worse again. I read the OP as a simple notification that Tantric would like to open up some source to interested coders, and it became a flame war.
sorry you can't do anything other than play the victim.I just hope that the moderators accept my request to delete this abomination. As long as "certain" members stay on this forum, this thread will never turn back around as they will continue to seek to destroy it.
Yea, good job squarepusher and toadking, you've officially got what you wanted.
sorry you can't do anything other than play the victim.
all squarepusher posted was how instead of making a thread and asking for help you should instead do something. apparently that advice was a personal attack.
how about you leave this thread and pick up a book and learn how to code? here, have some free ones: http://programming-motherfucker.com/become.html
i personally recommend any of the "Learn XXX The Hard Way" books or if you feel adventurous "Structure and Interpretation of Computer Programs"
stop posting and start codingIt was an attack due to the way he worded it. He's been on my case since the 239p issue. And as for you, your really starting to push your luck. I'll continue to be as nice as I can, but your really starting to show your true self and I can see very clearly that your trying your best to piss me off with your "tiny" insults. You must think it looks very mature to insult others on a freakin' message forum. Hey everyone, Toadking wants everyone to see he's a big boy now! Lets all give him the attention he wants!
Please do yourself a favor and ignore me.
If everyone could just cut it out for a minute, I have something to add here.
If I take the OP to the letter, then the following are true:
(a) Tantric is the author of the Wii part of the 'GX'-named ports of some emulators;
(b) Tantric contacted nintygaming about the emulators;
(c) Tantric is busy, and would like someone to be able to continue his work, and is too busy to post, and doesn't believe there will be enough support;
(d) Following from (b) and all of (c), nintygaming is posting on behalf of Tantric to see if there's enough interest among coders for Tantric to take some time to give the coders access;
(e) nintygaming does not know how to code, or he could code it himself;
(f) Following from (d) and (e), nintygaming does not have a personal stake in the outcome of this thread, and only Tantric would.
From the context of this thread, I also gather this, which may be true or not:
(g) Tantric's GX ports of emulators are in RetroArch or supported by RetroArch.
In that case, a few people here are guilty of shooting the messenger, because it's not nintygaming that's going to give maintainer access or anything, it's Tantric. Personal quibbles are unwarranted; this is about whether you're interested in getting Tantric to give you access or not, plain and simple.
If (g) is true, then the RetroArch folks would do well to work with the interested coder(s), if any, to get patches for emulator cores that are as easy as possible to apply, or just get minimal "support" patches to hook into RetroArch correctly.
If (e) is true, then yes, that makes nintygaming a "user", but if (d) is also true, that makes him a user who's in contact with a developer. Don't shoot the user because he isn't a developer, instead accept or decline what's being put on the table.
There may be hope yet for this thread, but it won't work if no one sees the thread for what it really is.
I have read this whole thread and I will try to point out the wrongs here.
1. mr. nintygaming you can't ever complain about devs not getting stuff you want on there homebrew when the devs are giving you homebrew for free.
2. When you said (wasting hours of your life into code) you do realise thanks to the devs hours of coding we got amazing homebrew on many differnt consoles and devices, also coding is what make devices to help peolpe make there work easier.
3. When you told mr. libro your sorry, at the end of the comment you insulted by calling him a inmature kid. If you do that some people might take that the wrong way.
1. mr. libro your right if you work hard enough anyone can become a coder, but the thing is theres different levels of coding and some people are just not good enongh to reach at a advanced level or to a level that can help the scene.
over all mr. nintygaming it is good what your tring to sense your not a coding, but try not to complain to the devs about little things, that you think should be done already in there homebrew.
Mr. libro you are a great coder don't let one person make you quit when there so many other people that think your great,aslo dont aspect so much from other people, because there are people thats, just not good enoungh at coding to help out the scene.
Both of you are after one goal, tring to make the scene better, so no need to fight.
Retroarch doesn't use the same snes9x version, it's 1.52 with some optimizations.
What nintygaming wants is the retroarch's core with Tantric's great gui and features.
We don't have tantric's opinion, so we don't know what he really wants to do...
Moreover, there's already a solution to display covers, sort games, etc with Wiiflow.
Generally this type of request thread doesn't lead anywhere, but who knows?
I once started to port a game(bermuda syndrome) just out of curisoity when I saw a member talking about it.
