I just like to give credit where it's really due. I've already made the mistakes of getting hyped up over things that I shouldn't have in the past. I regret showing support for NRX in the past, and consider it to have been a grave mistake looking back on the evidence now available. I dislike the way I was lied to at the time by people in a position to do things properly. The NeoGeo stuff all happened within the space of a year or two, it wasn't actually long before MAME had a much better NeoGeo driver than NRX offered (NRX never got things like raster interrupts etc. which a lot of games actually make use of) but since the NRX bandwagon was already in full swing we continued to see hacked dumps even when using real ones was possible. As an emulator it was quickly superseded by many others and if people had any sense back then rather than making puny binary hacks of a dead project just to keep it running a huge problem might have been avoided but it was some weird zombie-software that not even virus-laden hacked up chinese binaries could prevent people from using if it mean said version had been hacked to show some extra games in the list (without improving the emulation at all, or actually being even remotely competitive with the other emulators people had put out) That's why I'm more fearful of the current arcade hardware cases where MAME literally has no way of doing things properly at the moment, it's entirely in the hands of cowboys instead and they've shown complete lack of care but since what they're doing makes things playable people are throwing money at them, and in the current cases the material is even more fragile so doing it properly is even more important. The console scene had a similar issue too, especially when it came to 3rd party games with extra protection, the approach everybody chose was to hack the roms to work with their beloved emulators and declare the correct dumps as 'bad dumps' rather than accepting said emulators were not doing things correctly. Luckily in those cases we were generally only talking about a small part of the library and with time people have realised the mistakes that were being made there too. |

So how do you feel about UltraHLE? |

However, where I lived only had dial up service at the time. I was able to download Mario 64. That is about it. I also quickly realized that it wasn’t easy playing with a keyboard. So I stuck to Nesticle. Until recently, emulation has always been interesting to me rather than practical to actually use. I still don’t play video games. lol |
