DarkAkuma!
I have been a lurker for quite some time. I stumbled across CaVE when it was no longer available due to lack of feedback/appreciation I believe. I am quite a few bevs deep so forgive me as I am a little foggy on the details of why it was pulled, but that is not the point. However I do remember being incredibly excited when you brought it back. I have more or less read through this entire thread since then, drama and all, and I just want to say I personally am so grateful that you continue to do what you do.
I initially tinkered around with a hacked SNES Classic and I believe that was what lead me to your work. I got a modded V1 Switch to take it one step further and to specifically be my “ultimate all-in-one classic Nintendo emulator” via Switch Online, the only “games” on it are the NSO apps tricked out by CaVE. And no, not with every ROM known to exist that I will never play. The hits, the classics, and my favs all in one spot and I love it. That is exactly how I want it. Early on I saw a lot of what I see everywhere else; “why bother getting games to work with the NSO apps when you can just use Retroarch”. I have nothing against that, but the official NSO apps just hit that sweet spot, and I believe you have paved the way and truly unlocked their potential.
If I’m not mistaken, you were working on getting the Switch side of things up and running before you even owned a Switch. I am going to assume there are others out there like me that rely on you when a new NSO update hits, and come to this thread to find that you have already updated CaVE. I often check here and your site to see what kind of stuff you are cooking up (I know I know I should probs join your discord)
TL;DR - I want to genuinely say thank you for your tireless work with CaVE. I know this thread has more questions that have previously been answered, than it does appreciation posts, you are doing a thankless job, but I will admit I am also part of that problem for not saying anything up until now. Just know that we are out here, and we appreciate you.
Cheers mate
