Badmonkey is right.. The only reason people said what they did was because they where un-informed.

So you think no one bitched about this emulator?

Hmm, here's a quote.. and.. Oh my, it was by you:
QUOTE
I can't believe I donated towards this crappy emulator..
People keep saying it's only a beta.. Well, if the contest is really over.. (http://www.xbins.org/n64contest.php)
then it's bullshit  . Cause there will be no motivation to make a second release. Hell, it's so full of bugs.. It's no surprise the author is "anonymous"... No one would ever want to associate they're names to this poor excuse for an emulator.

...

Plus.. I hate the fact that you have to choose a plugin.. Mr. Anonymous should have made a list and made the loader choose which was the best plugin for each game.

...

PS: For the messages to follow that will tell me to chill or relax.. Well.. Bite me...  Cause believe me.. If you would have donated.. You'd feel cheated too.

...

Ah hell, you're right, no bitching there.  wink.gif

In all the threads I have read on it, there was hardly any bitching of any kind about the emu or those making it.

99% of the bitching and whining...



And for the record... Even those that posted like you quoted, would have most likely been less harsh with a little more info on contest results. That person, though I obviously can't speak for him, was prolly bitching thinking that the emulator was winning the entire contest simply on the version released. If you donated, then certainly you have the right to bitch.

It is a great start, and I don't think anyone would deny that, but if it were to be the final release, than it would surely leave people with a feeling of some let down. Most of us can't do the work ourselves, and we are most thankful to those that dedicate the time to do such endeavors. That doesn't mean that we don't want the absolute best to come of them.

Not to jump on your case, but I never said that no one complained. There are a few assholes that will always complain regardless of what happens.

Perhaps you should in fact read my post.

Badmonkey- Gainpresence wasn't aiming that at you, it was at krill. HE (Krill) was agreeing that there weren't people talking shit about the emu, while he did talk shit.

Either way though...

I think most of the negative comments were contest related, and, even if slamming the emu, were in most cases a direct result of the lack of info.

smile.gif  Most of the time I'm totally broke.. but you see.. I believed in this so much that I gave. Gladly. Why?  For the rights to bitch and complain? Hardly... Cause I wanted a N64 emulator for the xbox.. I wanted to be part of it.
I wanted a kick ass emulator.  And you know what? It will become a great emulator... If not the greatest emulator for the xbox. and I say *will* because what was released is a work in progress..

EDIT: Wanted to add..  Now that I am informed, I am very optimistic.. and look forward to see how this turns out. smile.gif

More than a few.

More like, a majority.

Since im dealing with the contest, Im the one that gets all the shit. You didnt get Private messages here, on irc, and see large amounts of people say stupid shit like "i hope he doesnt get the money ... this is shitty"

Not everything goes on xbox-scene forums you know.

Krill: no i didnt have a laugh, i made a mistake very early before work. I didnt want to change it until i fully discussed the situation with the author. This was the reason for the delay, as we are on different time scheduals.

You'll all be singing a different tune in the future, but i wont forget all the little assholes that bashed in the start.

PS- update: repeater glitch isnt gone, but it is less aparent. = / Rice said he has it fixed in 5.0.1 but he hasnt released the sources yet. Other than that, some UI / launcher stuff is being done aswell as implementing rice 5.0 ...shouldnt be long ; )

I saw people bashing you in the forums... You should have responded then and there and made things clear. AND.. You shouldn't have taken it personally. Not easily done.. But a good leader will take criticism even when it's negative.

Calling us assholes doesn't solve anything.

Super smash bro's will work in the next version, which will be out shortly. It has a few menu texture problems and some slowups, but playable.

I would rather not be hasty. Things were heated up and that is never the time to spew info. Now that things have died and i have spoken to the author on a detailed level, i choose to respond.

'US' implies you, and i didnt call you a asshole. Unless you think you are a little basher? Because i did not think you were. Its people like NiCkO that do gay bashing.
