Az, I agree with you fully. For a while, I was on emulation related things for an hour or more a day. It started when I got a P3 450mhz IBM PC used for $400CDN last September. I spent hours and hours trying to find a good configuration for Zelda:MoM, and thanks to PJ64, I was able to find it. After the novelty wore off, the scene started to get really boring. I still hung around alot, because I was still very interested in it, and someday hoped to code some sort of Emulator myself. But after a while, it just gets hard to stand all the stupid ass newbie posts & lame ass 13 year old kids flaming each other. So I left for a while. I came back when I got my current comp, and quickly got fed up with all the bullshit...and left again. It's nice to just take a break from it all once in a while.
Although I didn't talk to you ever [that I can remember], I'll still be sad to see you go. You were an icon of 64 emulation, and to date, I haven't found a better audio plugin for my specs. It sucks that you won't be updating it anymore, because although Schibo is great, he doesn't know your plugin anywhere near as well as you do. I think I speak for the rest of the community when I say...I hope you come back in the future. Take care.
