Beta Question, (NOT BEGGING FOR THE BETA)

[Trotterwatch]

You are welcome to your opinion, that being an open beta would be more productive than a closed sourced one. The thing is, at the end of the day the only people that matter are the authors (seeing as this is a project that isn't being charged for).

They will release a version when they are happy with it - I suppose pride is a factor in not releasing something you believe isn't an example of your best work.

Personally, I wouldn't see any reason in releasing a Beta if it didn't work well and I wasn't planning on working on it anymore ... this is usually what happens with early emulators.

Does anyone know if they're still working on the WhineCube? ... or any other GC emu? ... i think everyone else gave up.

Everyone else gave up
Believe me they are still working on it

Pessimism won't get you anywhere, just be patient. I'm sure we are all going to be pleasantly surprised!!

I'd say one thing people don't generally seem to understand is that the term "beta" is often "work in progress", and should be appreciated for what it is... work in progress!

If everyone lined up outside Da Vinci's doorstep, and constantly knocked on the door in the hope he would reveal a half-complete work and open himself to criticism, where would his masterpieces be today?

There are still annoying bugs on the Beta, not everything is fixed, a part of the GUI isn't working, some things are crashing the emu. The release will be when they will have time and will to fix those things.

does the beta support sound yet, does anyone know?

Maybe, maybe not. Let's wait, shall we?

The release needs suprises. Stop begging.

I kinda wish the beta was out, but that's just because I know Four Swords Adventures works on it and I have been wanting to take graphics from the game because I got the gcm for that without knowing that there was no current support. But I am not begging for it, besides, it's possible that someone here knows the format for Gamecube 2D graphics and I would have no need for the emulator other then for play(unless Four Sword's music is supported, I loved it)

The reason i think its not an open beta is b/c its more organized, with 2-3 people and also its from people that u can trust b/c.........well you choose them urself, based on things that they can do to help you develop the emulator further, Instead of just people who say why isent it out yet b/c they just wanna play there games. (and im not saying thats the reason ur asking)
