Agreed about the wait for the hardware (who in their right minds would argue) but those rushed ports were a proof of concept to show what it WILL do... it still will some time after launch. The hardware is much improved over what we paid for and the OS is much better than we paid for... My guess is that we are gonna get much better Emulators than those crappy ports.
I do see where people are coming from, but they have always had the option to cancel.
These should be good times... production is immanent!!!
I think all of the emulators should be available today (except N64, PSP, Dreamcast obviously). I think it is only fair.
The amount of members/customers that had kept their purchase with this promise (many posts) is overwhelming, to be frank.
It would be only fair that these versions would be the one's optimized for the Pandora/Beagleboard/N900 but the worlds imperfect and always expect disappointment.
For that reason, the emulators don't necessarily need to be optimized or fully polished. As long as its working at a decent level, get it out there. I feel like the wait has been long, too long, and that we should've been given something more than just a "Thank you". I mean the whole project could've gone down the drain quite easy enough, so what people expected to get should be delivered plus some sort of congratulatory bonus.
To say they had the option to cancel is somewhat to say
"Hey people thanks for waiting too long, for something your not getting as prepared as many have said to be, and not getting a refund. You could've cancelled and lead to project bankruptcy/disasters but instead you were selfless losers"
I know that's not what you wanted to say, but that is an easy interpretation.
It's like a call to promote those people that were not patient enough for the device but instead wanted to see OP succeed that they kept themselves from getting a refund by logging on to the boards many times a week.
I would watch my words if I were you :angry: (you could wake up the trolls or start a fire)
