I've been doing ALOT of reading in here, and no posting (the ultrahle area). There are several reasons for this, foremost being that I'm not some leet coder, and that i wasn't even in the scene during the entire ultrahle reign.
However, in the present chaos that is the uhle scene, I DEFINITELY feel a need for some kind of order.
So, I'm volunteering, but in a very humble and admiring way, i'm really calling for dom to volunteer for this, since he did so much incredible hacking in SHLE and has generally been a great guy on irc, etc.
Currently there are so many little fix patches all over for uhle, and uhle is EFFECTIVELY the best emu out currently, and anyone knows who's seen me around the scene that i am a HUGE 1964 fan, so let me explain in a moment, that i REALLY feel the need for a centralized/unified uhle mod/shle part two effort. If there is one in the works already that I don't know about, for god sakes post a reply to this and start a new forum area, if it's alright with Martin, et al.
Now let me explain the effective comment before some huge troll war starts between smiff and some huge brigade of other people, who largely as far i can tell NONE of them (including smiff) are coders, or give the respect that coders (and yes hackers like dom, too) deserve. Not that i agree with the current public opinion about "intellectual property". But these are ALL seperate debates and political and will get locked after a flame war, so DON'T POST THAT CRAP HERE! PERIOD.
I don't want to see a reply, "people should give up uhle, etc." that's just ludicrous, so go to some other forum. don't start a flame war in here.
effective: by this i mean, the most useful, the highest compat, whatever you want to call it, and i'm saying not for EVERY person, personally i have a kick ass machine, and 1964 roxors, no ? about it. but the vast majority of the planet do not have the meager monitary resources that i do, much less others in here that have dual MP setups with brand new geforce 4400 ti's and what not.
so for the world, and online IS the world, despite the vast majority of english/americans in this forum that might say/think otherwise, uhle due to it's HLE, which yes i know is COMPLETELY DIFFERENT THAN LLE, and therefore comparing uhle to 1964/pj64/nemu/etc/etc/etc is like comparing apples to orangutans, is more readily usable at a decent framerate etc. for a significant majority of the world population.
part of what i'm saying here, is that corn/uhle let the havenots, many of whom are only so because of their region of birth, which i think is ludicrous to say "their problem", in on n64 emulation, which is a VERY VERY cool thing on so many levels that i can't begin to codify it into sentences.
so here's what i'm proposing:
Dom start a sourceforge project or something else like that so that there is a cvs of the latest UHLE PART 2 code up for grabs, so that all these authors have a chance to COMBINE thier efforts.
if RM/Epsilon want to come after dom legally, great, he can just take the site down.
and *I* will start one on freenet or gnucleus, or efnet, or somewhere, cuz this NEEDS to be done, all of our petty little ideas/personalities aside.
now if dom wants no part of it, and who can blame him when he's put in so much time and effort only to be flamed by a bunch of JERKS and then have the source leaked which in some ways makes his work seem like a forgotten page in history, then *i'll* start it.
tomorrow.
post your comments here. but if you're not interested in supporting this new project (as yet to be named), then gtfa! (that means leave, and don't let the door hit you in the @$$ on the way out), and just want to start a flame war, then hopefully someone with mod powers will loose your comments in the digital ether, and if *i* end up involved in the web/ftp/irc/forum admin for this project, then *i* will do it.
flame wars waste MY time when they come up and i'm trying to read about emu. besides which they are hurtful (obviously) to some people who have done some great things. (smiff's website, biased as it may be, dom's efforts that should never be forgotten in shle, which were worthy, and admirable, and many others i couldn't possibly name them all without doubling the size of this already HUGE post.
thnx.
