Make us proud :lol:
This could be the most effective way to build a good piece of software. Instead of every dev makes his own thing here and there, the pro's could merge their power and focus only on one Emulator per time. When finished, the next emu/program can be optimized and so on. I think this can bring much more than the "old" method.
The problem with that approach, is that the devs are spread over quite a few time zones. Getting together to hash things out, even virtually, can be a problem.
I've worked on projects before where you just can't get on with coding because you're waiting for something from someone who is sleeping. By the time they've woken up, done a days work and then done whatever you're waiting for, you're busy at work. Finally you sit down to use whatever it is, and have a question you need answered about it. But the other guy's asleep again (lazy swine), so you send an email that he'll pick up when he wakes.
Rinse and repeat for every little thing and it can be downright discouraging. So while you're waiting you start working on something on your own, and it's so much easier that you pretty much lose interest in the original project.
Interesting point of view. You could be right. Damn, why our Planet can't have one time zone, of course middle europe time. :lol:
So GP2X coders are always lone wolfs forever? Hm, ok they had done great things alone so maybe its working. ^^" When Microsoft would let only one person code Windows, maybe then it would be the perfect OS? XD
@Moxie: somehow my english is to bad to understand your post so I simply say "YES" ... ^^""
