The truth the way Xyteam sees it....
And I do applaud you for speaking your mind.
Let me give you some truths.
1) Ever since my first interaction with BPM$ on instant message, he was abrassive, insulting and arrogant. I've personally never spoken with anyone in what should have been a friendly atmosphere like that who was so full of himself and would take any oppurtunity to insult those who he felt was beneath him. I know you were around since this thread and you are aware of how much testing I did on MAME roms, both testing them thouroughly on MAMEox128 Plus! and then on Arcades when I first used it and decided that it was by far the superior emulator. Then, instead of telling me that some of my testing was wrong because I was not using the VMM feature (which I honestly only figured out about 2 weeks ago since he or anybody else didn't tell me that), he started calling me useless and said my testing was flawed and useless.
So.... sorry if I had pride in a project which had taken probably 200 to 300 hours of my life up until that point just to have it pissed all over by BPM$ simply because some of the data was flawed because I was unaware of the VMM feature. In truth, at the time, I thought BP was working some mysterious magic on those roms I was testing with "OUT OF MEMORY" errors that he got working.
2) The only reason this ever went public is because BPM$ never replies to my PMs. He never has, unless it's to make some smart ass insulting remark. But you and I see how eager he is to jump head-first in a public despute with me, sometimes even going on for 5 to 10 hours at a time. Funny he has all that time to bicker with me, but he can't answer a few stupid questions I have.
3) As far as what they called XT over at 1emu, I didn't even see that. At this point I still don't even know what he was called. I'm just going off of his post and my own experiences over there. There's a little "in crowd" thing going on over there and I wasn't suprised to see how he was treated over something he didn't even do. You got your little boys club over there and BPM$ is right in the middle getting BJ's from ya'all everytime he puts an update out. I may have disobeyed an "order" from an overzealous moderator over there, I didn't break any rules over there, and now I'm silenced. That's fine.... I only post over there for source anyhow. With the exception of a few who I would NEVER publically name, I would never consider anyone over at 1emu a friend.
4) The only reason that I bothered sending you that PM is because I know that we used to get along and at some point that went away. I don't like fighting with you, but when you mindlessly defend that jerk I'm not going to sit here and take it and say he's right. He's not, he abused me first, and I could have been a great asset to his project. But BPM$ works better alone, when he has total control of the project, when he gets all the "glory" and when he has a few others around so excited about his release that he can dish out orders to them. I'm not a follower, and that's all he wants is followers.
BPM$ has no peers in BPM$'s eyes.
LOL... last post is ego, you're damn right.
BPM$ putting a limit to 40 additional games just to spite me and ruin the emulator for me no matter how much he inconvienced anyone else in the process, and then further ruining his own suprise by not being able to keep his mouth shut and brag about what he did, and THEN coming out and telling people to thank ME for the crippling he put on an otherwise pretty damn decent emu......
What don't I have to be flattered about? That was all about me.
IT was pathetic.... IT was full of ego... IT was packed tight full of fail.
