Tsk Tsk, and I thought I wasnt getting bashed anymore, oh well. but even the assholes deserve a lotle credit for skeptical, I mean its true I have no proof online. but I do planon gettingsome onhereby the end of this week, some screenshots and what not, and as for people sending me money, dont worry I dont want any money.

Also to the person who brought up 93 hours on morrowind, I have a life outside of this emu, and morrowind came out way before I started working on this project. And the only resaon I did was the fact that I was bored with the other games I have.

But in last words, I could care less about the bashing assholes on this board, they are probably just newbies who dont know what the hell there doing.

Well have fun and I'll see ya on thursday.

Firstly, until you have a working alpha/beta whatever, in your hands, DO NOT SEND THIS GUY ANY MONEY.   I am not saying he's not working on a new version of Daedalus, but I am very sceptical.  It's not that I believe this can't be done, because we all should know it can. No technical background or anything else has given me reason to believe this is more than a publicity stunt.  Firstly, the only way he could continue work on the leaked beta would be by having the original pre-compiled code.  This is not freely available and I see no proof that he has acquired this code.  The only thing he could then do is to try porting the PC code of Deadalus.  He has provided no technical background or information to any other coder/site that I'm aware of that would agree with and backup his claims. seeing is very much believing with this, I'm afraid.  Sometimes, I think it's better that people shutup and release something when it's ready or at least discuss with other coders or give a locked beta to a few choice website reviewers. So, a little more technical background or a locked alpha to xbox-scene or anywhere that would confirm this project would be nice.  I am very angry though that you would talk about accepting money at this stage, where you have proven nothing.

By the way I have a Masters degree in Computer science, I am MSCE certified, and Im also very fluent in Visual Basic and C+. Ive been working on computers and programming computers since I was 10 years old.

Besides I like to see you give this project a shot, and you can find a leak of the original source code in the "usual places".

You mean MCSE, and C++

N64 is something we've been waiting on for quite some time (since the initial Daedalus leak)

why bother him with questions for a proof?let him work.if there isn't anything in the next month you can all bash him but for now just wait and see

Exactly, if he's bullshitting, we're not going to be any worse off than we are right now.

Just let the man work and either support him or shut up.

QUOTE (akarnid @ Apr 8 2003, 11:29 AM) No VerticalE, how about you go and fuck yourself.   Vindictive a-hole.  You haven't earned any bashing rights here on this board. What you have is a guy that claim something without supporting his claim with proof. It's so fucking obvious I just can't keep my mouth shut about it. And about "earning" bashing rights... GROW THE FUCK UP! I have followed this scene since it first started - only because I don't have as many posts as you etc. doesn't make me less fed up with asshole liars like LunarWhatnot.

Yeah, and this is exactly how all the rest of the scene has unfolded.  I don't know how many times I've seen bashing from people who thought they knew better, and were somehow furthering the 'scene's' interests by pointing out those that they thought were lying/cheating/bullshitting.    Really.  No one cares! And when the authors they were bashing DID come out with the goods the critics suddenly became silent.   The best example of this were the Xecuter guys when they first announced their chip.  Those that read that forum religiously remember all the accusations and bashing going on there when this happened.  

There's an old saying: If you don't have anything nice to say, don't say it at all.   Some people really haven't got anything to say, except for bashing.


edit: this will be all on this topic from me.  If LunarEclipse delivers the goods, so be it.     He's got nothing to prove to anyone, and this is all just done on his spare time anyway.

Finally someone understands. congrats after my team told me Im nuts, but this person shows true showmanship in bashing the bashers. therefore I dub VerticalE Lucky and unseen beta tester number 11.

[Methius]

Oh and to the beta-testers, PLZ whatever u do don't leak the beta ( place it in a secure folder when u dl it or sumthin )
We DONT want to repeat the deadalus incident!!!

LunarEclipse and team, keep up the very good work, u guyz rule!
PS. Will u release a source for others to work on, or not? (prop not, but hey its worth askin )

I'm not much of an expert on this sort of thing but why release this emu to just 11 people?

Surely it makes much more sense to release it publicaly and ask everyone to post on a forum or whatever if they find any problems occuring in any games. I mean that way just about every rom will be checked and every level of every game and really fast.

I mean I guess some people will be twats and start badgering u with emails asking why such and such doesn't work but I can't imagine many people will do this. And the more comprehensive testing would surely be worth it.

Initial beta tests are just for preliminary *obvious* bug testing, such as problems with the menu system, etc..

I expect there will be a public beta once the major bugs are fixed.

Also if they release it public w/o testing it, people will bitch about it. Like w/ neXgen, KingMike and them even said there were lots of Bugs in the software and yet people go destroy there Xbox with it, and blame it on Team GotMod.

Also BugReports are more orgnaized and easier for the Devs to reproduce when you only have a Few people reporting them.
I personally think the "public" would rather wait for a good solid version of a emu, rather then getting a buggy emulator that has alot of problems.

I have sadly over quite a long period of time fallen for many many similar pranks like this which seem too good to be true at the beginning. Check out the first post, 5 days? and then it changes to 5 days without sleep with a team of coders... what

Well, I don't blame you for being suspect but, give him a chance. Do you know anything about coding an emulator for Xbox? how do you know he can't make pregress in 5 days especially since its already been ported and he maybe looked at that.

), and this is the first shitty version:

This is in 1024*678 and if it displays to small, just click the "Enlarge" button.

Hope this helps (isn't much, but if ur interested i could put sum real work into it.
