Why use emulators when theres RetroArch?

I'll just throw this thought in: maybe that particular, very skilled developer, has an actual interest in that platform and he personally enjoys tackling it, otherwise he wouldn't have put it in his polls.
And yes, money helps. surprisedPikachuFace.jpg
We've been spoiled by almost three decades of free emulators where people have put in an insane amount of effort, completely out of sheer passion, interest and challenge. Were the results perfect? Of course not.
Did they have the documentation, raw processing power and tools we have today? Guess what, they didn't.
And that didn't stop them helping the community to understand those platforms better and lying down the foundation of the next generation of emulators.
All of the current emulation scene stands on the shoulders of giants.
We should never forget that.
And, for that matter, I don't see anything wrong with people actually using money as incentive to drive them forward.
Especially if we end up getting better and better results.

Get out.

I fail to get how anything I said opposes anything you're saying. That particular developer had at least as much interest in NGP as in many arcade boards (not really, but whatever), yet the people asked for the former. And if they did it with money, I have nothing to object -- my mention was just a reminder.

I genuinely think that everytime we post something on a forum there are probably several things lost in translation due to either language barrier or to the limitation of the medium of the discussion, possibly both.
Sometimes I swear that if we would all be standing around a table having a drink and talking about these topics it would be way more chill and we would understand each other way better.

Except for non native english speakers who'd have a hard time keeping it up with everyone else ... Even more after a few pints :cheers:

My Thai mostly improves after some Mai Tais ;)
I stop worrying about the right words and just let it flow.
The common languages of gaming and booze would smooth everything out ^-^.
