You've got a real good point in there, but the fact that it is leaked still sucks big time

[TomisH]

The point was... Ah, damn it! -  That is not important right now.

Waiting for Surreal and nothing else matters.  

Whatever you post, there will be people questioning it, asking, arguing, flaming, misunderstanding, requesting ... *[add whatever you want here]... or trying to prove you're wrong.

Human kind...

Why is it so hard for some to understand that the limitations I am speaking of are inherently found in the 3 PC emulators this new EMU is ported from. This is not the Dev's fault, he is working very hard to give us this "first" all-in-one type EMU. Being realistic means giving credit where it's due but also staying within the bounds of what this EMU is truly capable of. I am not making this statement based on seeing the new emu because I am not one who got the "leaked" version, but merely I am attempting to state what I feel is a safe prediction based on what this EMU is being ported from, as well as what its being ported to.

Have you ever used Pj64 or 1964 on the pc, you'll know that less than 10% of games are unplayable and probably over 60% are close to perfect with a little fiddling.

I feel you have simply assumed that the problems with pj64-x were there in the pc version and ram was it's only issue. I didn't try a single game in the xbox version that I had not already tried with rice's plugin I knew what to expect which most people hadn't. A lot of games that worked fine or ok in the pc version just refused to load. I suspect a lot of the time testing was to eliminate a lot of these incompatibilties between pc & xbox.

If you doubt the quality of present day N64 emulation pop on down to emutalk.com and open your eyes.

This is more of technical interest I bought a 64 shortly after the 1st pj64-x came out and haven't really looked back.

I have to agree with the rest of you and oDD should not let this get in his way and continue what he does best. and release it officially

wtf as far as I remember a certain link was posted by you on #xbins-chat (while some of us were having a nice game of trivia, I might add) to a crappy d/l site with the leaked emu in question And you're saying that we need to forget about this, while you and tons of other ppl are spreading this leak? It only takes 1 link to spoil it all, m8

wtf?

i only gave the link to this thread :S

[Likklebaer]

The long saga of lameness continues...

But don't forget that this leaked emu is bound to use the old obsolete 1964 core. The official release will be worlds better thanks to the 0.9.9 core and Rice's new plug-in. You'd have to be pretty desperate to want to use this unfinished prototype.

It'll be interesting to see what the devs have to say. But until then I think everything that can be said has been said and this topic is getting pretty boring.

BTW, I don't know who came up with 'Surreal64' but it's an awful name. How about something a little more practical and less pretentious?

[Bender_Unit_1]

Partially to blame, because he forgot to block a certain someone's acess to the file, but he is not the one who leaked it. Don't believe that screenshot, it's bullshit.

I did, and i've found everyone (including me and the dev's) quite like it, thank you very much.

How is the name Surreal64 being pretentious, may i ask ? What does 'Surreal' have to do with arrogance, or bigotry ? Its a abstract name.

Coming on this thread and complaining about something that has long held its name, without hope of changing it, demanding a different name however, i would say is just *SLIGHTLY* pretentious.

write your own then you can name it, and apparently you didn't read the whole thread because oDD made a post saying himself, lantus, and iriez where discussing possible names and that one sounded good then he gave a dictionary.com definition of surreal. i forget which page it was on but i found the post by clicking odd's profile and searching for posts.

If you dont want it to show up on ur emulation list as Surreal64 .. just use xberenamer and S.T.F.U.

[gamemaster14]

I thought Surreal 64 was a really cool name.

My posts are disappearing while this inflammatory garbage remains...what gives?

Ok this is what I have to say on the matter. I am annoyed that it was leaked, not for my own sake, but for yours. You wanted and expected a quality product so the emulator was in its final stages of testing where nearly every known rom was being playtested for compatibility, speed and memory settings were being adjusted so that games wouldnt run out of memory and comments written for each game. In the end its only you guys that were robbed, not myself or lantus. Surreal64 will be officially released sometime over the next couple days when we feel its ready for the general public. The sources will be released on http://surreal64.sourceforge.net and binaries in the usual places. Development will continue as usual, in mine and lantus's spare time, and the porting of 1964 0.99 will hopefully begin soon. What can you do now to help? Dont download or spread the leak on IRC/P2P networks and help the mods out by not posting any bullshit on the forums regarding this release. As for who's to blame, Iriez shouldnt have anything to do with it. This man works his butt off (in his spare time like the rest of us) for the scene and has supported Surreal and every other project all the way, the last thing he'd want to see or cause is a leak. Running and securing a network is no easy task. Running one used by millions of people around the world is an insane task and knowing who to trust regarding access and giving/setting the right permissions is even harder. So thanks goes to Iriez for everything you've done for us and dont listen to these ignorant fools. Also thanks to everyone who everyone whos supported us during development and continue to do so. I'll see you all in a couple of days. [evil]Big fuck yous go out to CLuis, DaRebel, Kestal, Morfious and anyone who spreads this file, hope you have a great new year.[/evil]  (I felt I was entitled to that) G'Night

For the several blind people that missed it on page 7.
