Wisely said, i took a look at the  thread, it looks like a long list of insults from fooled people (that i can undertand).    I still hope for a miracle though.


Yeah, I hope those peoples comments don't make the developer think twice about releasing the source code. Even though he said he would release it, he isn't in debt to anyone. The fact that he made the emulator for PC in itself if a great accomplishment, the source code being released would just be icing on the cake. Sometimes people get a little ungrateful/impatient with this stuff and say things that might make the programmers just say F-it and never release anything...

I hope thats not what happened with FreeDo  dry.gif

April 06, 2009 - Source code release announced for May 1st.
May 01, 2009 - Source code not released.  admin remains silent.
June 01, 2009 - Silence.
July 01, 2009 - Silence.
August 01, 2009 - Silence.
September 01, 2009 - Silence.
October 01, 2009 - Silence.
November 01, 2009 - Silence.
December 01, 2009 - Silence.
January 01, 2010 - Silence.

For those of you who remain hopeful, I understand how it must seem reading all of that negative feedback.

For those of us familiar with admin, the negative feedback is a tradition on his forum whenever he makes an announcement then vanishes.  This is the same pattern of behavior he displayed after announcing his Dreamcast port, PS2 port, Mac Port, Xbox port, and custom Xbox adapters.

He's even started pre-order threads.

Each time he disappears only to return with another announcement and release date for his next "project."

In a nutshell, admin could be viewed as a Bizzaro World BritneysPAIRS.


Didn't BritneysPAIRS release his source code for CoinOps though? Even so that a little different because BritneysPAIRS just optimized MAME, FreeDo is its own thing... But I do understand why people are upset... I just hope the source is released soon....For all we know Admin could have died  ohmy.gif  that would suck haha

Here's what I meant with the Bizarro World reference:

admin: More non-releases than actual releases.
BP: More releases than anyone cares to count.

admin: Talks too little for his own good.
BP: Talks too much for his own good.

admin: Disappears too often.
BP: Doesn't disappear enough.


Ahhh.. I really need to brush up on my Superman Terminology!  pop.gif
