i know nothing about GCN emulation, but i've been around several great emu programmers and .akai talks like none of them. i've also been conned by a few fakes, and he sounds like several of them.
so i think it's either fake, or hes very unlucky and has stepped onto the 5 or so things* that make it look fake. you decide.
*what are those things that are common to most or all fakes:
- showing off, talk of personal history (+"i have nothing to proove")
- large jumps in progress with no sign of involvement in existing community
- asking for beta testers
- screenshots that look too good and/or have strange issues
- having technical problems with things that should be easy
- focus on unecessary options
and others
