Yeah, we still haven't resolved the time problem, but don't worry, that'll be fixed soon

Duncan throws in the towel

I am sad to inform you that one of the true veterans of the Emu Scene has left. Duncan, admin of WWEmu and Emunin64 throws in the towel after 11 years in the scene. From his site Emunin64, here's his final words:



Well after 11 years in the emulation scene its time for me to go. Why? simple, currently just about all systems are emulated (and very well might i add), and my collection is pretty much complete. I can relive the old classic days of the early systems, as well as quite a few of the newer systems, any time i want, and this is all possible due to the great coders and authors that have been in the scene far longer than i have.

I started out in the scene in 1991, and between my emu sites (WWEmu, EmuNin64, etc.), work on SupraHLE, my Official 1964 Ini file, and my unofficial Ini/RDB files, i have givin something back to the emulation community for the great emulation that i now have today, and more than enjoyed it. I think that due to the "completeness" of the emulators available and the newer home console systems out today, that this is the cause of the emulation scene being slow or not much going on, but i dont see this as a bad thing, just means that most authors have acomplished their goals, and finished what they set out to do.

Its time for the curtain to fall for me, and theres so many great people i want to thank, and if ive forgotten you, dont worry, i can never forget the great times ive had with you all. Thanks to: Jerremy Koot, Smiff, Flow, Bish, Martin, Keith, BWB, PeterD, Dabods, Schibo, Rice, Dominator, Gordon (RM), Gent, Ad Enuff, Forgotten, Steph, Azimer, Prophet, Opi, Ben-J, Aldo Vargas, and all of the vistors and many more.

Thanks for the great times, im glad i was able to give something back, and i cant thank you all enough. You all take care, and maybe ill see ya all a few years down the road, but until then keep gaming >



Thanks for the 4 years I've known you, Duncan, I hope you'll come back some day.

Oh man ... Duncan is calling it quits. Sad to see him go, but atleast it is on good terms. I am very privledged to be one of his friends and I hope we keep in contact.

See you around Duncan!

Thank you for your contribution Duncan. I hope your life gives you nothing but the best. I am saddened to see you go, but hey, that's life. I feel the same way you do. Almost all systems been emulated, scene stagnating. Hopefully it will get better and you'll come back. Take care man, love ya.

sad news indeed. good luck Duncan, u really worked damn hard on ur stuff and i really appreciate ur time testing 1964 during its beta stages, u were an unbelievable assest to schibo and rice (im sure they'll agree. its a great shame to lose another great guy in the emu scene. hopefully ull stick around. also thank you for letting me try out ur work, i really did appreciate it. good luck in what ever u do dude :thumbsup:

[Smiff]

P.S. This may seem dramatic to other readers. but i know duncan will appreciate the difficulty in getting it right.
