Might work on Fedora?

When you set out to accomplish something and make a forum about it and have thousands of people joining to see what you're doing, you can't say you don't want to code anymore because you lost your enthusiasm for the project.

Atleast let some of us know what's going on, you guys don't post here for months at a time and all the while you were never planning on do anything with dolphin.

So, dolphin is not dead you say, ok, I guess you're making one last version and then we can call it dead, after the source is released.

Good luck, go out with a good fps bang.

Now, I couldn't find that one in the Rules/FAQ anywhere. If the Dolphin team were employed by those thousands of people, your statement might hold true, but that's not the case here. The Dolphin team never promised us a thing - they're just working on a project when they have the time and motivation and kindly sharing the (relatively) stable builds with us. We don't have the right to demand anything more.

What I was talking about was not a legal binding contract, but more of a implied obligation to the people to get the job done and not give up.

It's more of a "letting people down" type of thing when we have all been here for many years. You can't just say I'm bored and I don't want to do this anymore, well he can say that, but it wouldn't be cool.

After all, he's not saying he does not have the skill to continue or has run into problems coding that he does not understand, he is just saying, "ah, screw it", this is too much work.

This whole side-tracked topic started when I said "No one can seem to finish a GC emulator. After they put years and years of hard work and just start to see promise of games working they just give up and walk away. It's a shame."

That is still true and not a crime to point out.

Yes Starscream, it is a shame. It'd be great if someone could finish what they started, but they really don't have an obligation to anyone for anything. Sure, it's not cool to just quit, but there's really nothing aside from that to stop them quitting (and that's not a very good motivation). Once it's open source, someone might pick up where they left off and finish the job, but I usually find reading into source code I never worked on to be almost impossible to understand.

Noone promised anything! Noone just quit! The progress might be slow but its there!
What do you expect? Dolphin is almost on his limits and it wont get huge faster in the future! Nobody can create a fullspeed working gamecube emulator which is working on a 2ghz system!
