Great emulator! Keep up the good work!

*sigh* I cant believe how stupid some of you are, is it really that important to show off your achievements on live?.... NO!  Just create a offline profile and use that on the j-tag console and avoid any trouble with microsoft.

stupid? ...

[Keihanzo]

Hey Anonymous, I´m really grateful about your work!. Take this as a little bit of feedback for your emus:

-Your previous Snes emu has some controller lag issues (try final fight or to launch fire balls on Super Mario World, it´s easily noticeable).

-This Genesis emu has annoying sound glitches and roms can´t be launched from a subfolder (for example roms/USA) maybe this happens with the snes emu too, I didn´t tested it.

Anyway, I´m really excited about your work and I´m wondering wich emu it´s going to be your next one. Turbograftx?, An up to date Mame?, some 8 bits Stuff? or maybe you´re going after something bigger? (Saturn would be nice )

Regards!

PD: I think that achievements are a nice adition .

Also, MS wasn't banning the profiles of those that were gamerscore cheating. They reset their gamerscore to 0. Hell, if they had you on a modded console, they still didn't ban your profile, they banned the system. Why would it be any different? I'd imagine they would reset your gamerscore to 0 for having the Emu achievements, but to actually ban a profile, I don't think that would happen.

Regardless of the consequences, many of us still transfer profiles back and forth between JTAGed consoles and stock consoles. For that reason, there are many that may not choose to enjoy this excellent software (including myself), for fear of the achievements causing problems. For those of you willing to have a separate profile on the JTAGed console, this is great.

I'm not trying to start anything here, just trying to figure out the point of all of this. What are the point of achievements if you aren't going to go on Live? As far as I can tell there are none. If that IS the case, then why add achievements in just for the hell of it.

Anyway, I'm not a coder. In a previous post, I said that I am choosing not to use this software, not because it isn't great, but because it doesn't match my needs. It just seems that adding achievements is extra work, or even that a version with and a version without achievements could be made.

if we have two groups of people, those who care about acheivemnts/gamerscore/e-penis and those who think it is silly; and by adding acheivemnts to homebrew we are pissing off the first lot and the second lot (by definition) dont care - then why not just remove them.

group 1 will be happy group 2 still wont care.

just seems like a pointless (!!!!) addition that will only cause headaches?

What is the point of achievements in the first place, for that matter? As far as I can tell there is none.  

If it's really that big a problem that this has achievements, just take 10 seconds to make a 2nd profile that you only use for stuff you think might get you in trouble. You can even be ultra double secret safe and not activate Live on that account at all.

As was stated before, many of us have kids and spouses, who don't take this stuff as seriously as we do. If there was a way to restrict a game to only one profile, the same thing could be avoided, as in:
Profile A is my normal profile, but the emulator, or any other homebrew, won't load with that profile active. Log out, log into profile B, then everything is good.

Anyway, I understand it only takes a few moments to switch accounts, but if I am logged in and playing a game, then go to work, my kid might exit my game and play the emulator and lose my save.

My way around this is to just not use the emulator for now, but it is awesome...there are some Genesis games I do want to revisit.

First, let me say that I appreciate all of the hard work that coders are putting into homebrew. I'm not complaining. I'm just saying that this is how I think a lot of people feel about achievements on homebrew.

Like some of the others on here, I use a memory card to move my gamertag back and forth between my JTAG box and my XBL box. Because of this, I'm not going to even try these emulators until someone compiles a version with no achievements. It's just not worth the potential risk or the trouble since multiple people use both of my consoles.

I believe that all homebrew should be a demo and not a game so there are no achievements, no record of playing it on your profile, and no potential future banning risk because of the former two. Once the emulators reach a 1.0 version, I would be glad to compile a demo version with no achievements if I have access to the source code.

I'm actually thinking about using le fluffie and xdk to change this version to a demo and see if the achievements go away without crashing the game. But I don't even know if this is possible lol.

Again, thanks for the program.

I personally think all homebrew software shouldn't have achievements or at least have them disabled by default and give a warning if you choose to enable that feature. Like alot of people like me have more than one XBOX 360. I have a legit XBOX 360 and a JTAG'd XBOX 360. I keep my profile on a 256MB Mem Card so I can transfer my profile between systems. I know I can make a profile for homebrew apps, but as you know we are human and we will mostly likely forget to log out our main profile and into the homebrew file. This is already happened to me. I forgot to switch profiles and unlocked achievements I didn't want. I had to recover my profile. I lost all the achievements for the Games I was playing on the JTAG'd XBOX 360 and basicly had to start my Games over. After that I removed all the Emulators from my XBOX 360. I wouldn't be putting them back on until the achievement system it changed or removed.

[clouduz]

Some of you just cry at every fucking thing! I mean damn, first off it's free!! Second create a 2nd profile to play the emulators, hell if the developer created it, you either use as is or not at all, it's not like anyone is paying for it. I mean damn if your not worried about achievements making a 2nd profile should not matter.

[Lush]

agreed... achievements have no place in homebrew... plus i think that all homebrew shoud be packed into demo containers so that it is more organized in the nxe dash... games are seperated from homebrew... just my opinion...

[dokworm]

I think adding achievements is great, for the single reason that it will stop people using their live profile on their jtagged 360.
It is beyond stupid to do so, and I can't see a lot of upside to transferring your live profile back from your jtagged console to your live one. Are the scores you get whilst playing on your JTAG console really that important?

Keep your profile away from your jtagged box, you are asking for trouble otherwise, sooner or later something will cause your profile to be reset or banned - it just isn't worth it.

is there a normal XEX version instead of a GOD one (i don't like GOD or LIVE or other things like this for apps who can be skinned or edited ...)
