What's happened to Zardoz Jones??!!!

I'm sorry, but why even bother creating an emulator if you aren't even going to finish or work on it. I would've rather not have had him release the emulators he created AT ALL than have people get high hopes over nothing.

IMO, Something is better than nothing.

As post by someone else, The list of software that this guy has done is nothing to sniff at. Baring in mind that he has done these in his own time and could still be working on them, Who knows. :unsure:

kram, like it has been said before, he owes you nothing. You never payed a cent for what he has created so why get upset about it? Your acting like he OWES you atleast one fully working emulator, which he doesn't.

He doesn't fully finish them because he doesn't feel like finishing them, that good enough for you? You didn't pay him for them so therefore he can do what he damn likes with his creations.

Sure i like to see a fully finished emulator as much as the next person, but at the end of the day i'm the one who knows nothing about programming, and people like Zardoz are the ones putting in some of their spare time to keep me entertained. I atleast owe them the acknowledgement for putting in some effort.

Most serious homebrew developers on GP32 have also life outside GP32 scene.. some even several mouths to feed. Half finished stuff is indeed annoying but when you don't get a dime (except some trash or respect) what you do commitments aren't that "permanent". About the issue ZJ... he recently left UK for NZ etc. Also he came from a commercial side and most probably aims to go there again. There's a lot of private stuff from ZJ most of you have never seen. And as a last though a lot of coders have a common habbit to experiment and when the demanding/challenging technical tasks have been solved there is no real interest to continue working on boring stuff like GUIs and polishing things up... :blink:

ps: ..drink coffee

excuse me but Zardoz Jones made a post on here saying he was planning to continue working on his emus.
Also kram if you think that writing an emu in your spare time is simple then you could always do it yourself. Your just attacking ZJ like a child, he has something you want but he's not giving it to you, grow up.

People, I am not whining about his emulators or am I telling him to fix them. I am simply asking why someone would come into a scene, create something, but not even bother finishing it? And if you're gonna start anything, but not finish it, don't even release at all.

The moral of this story is "Dont even try, people will hate you for it" :rolleyes:

 

[Meonlyeviler]

Well, the moral of the story is, if you don't post news and betas about you're emulator every day then people hate you.

btw I love you Tsyayin and Skeezix

The -real- moral is, start arguing in a topic and it gets locked.
