I recently made a list of old N64 emu authors (like Lemmy, rcp and ContraSF) and quite some memories came back about that time. One of them was ofcourse about UltraHLE.
After all this time there still are some questions that remain unanswered in my book about this (legendary and probably also most controversial) emu.

Was Epsilon really the member Psi of the Future Crew?
Was there ever an post-UltraHLE interview with him?
Was he really involved in True Reality (the very first emu that actually managed to boot the first Waverace logo WAY ahead of it's time)?
How exactly did the source code got leaked? It couldn't just appear suddenly. Someone official either put it out or someone unofficial stole it (seen that before).
Why is ultrahle.com still up with content after three years of inactivity (isn't that a waste of money)?
And probably the most stupid question (but i have to ask it anyway): was UltraHLE really the reason of Gordons divorce with his wife?

I know a part of you wants to say "Who cares",..but i think this emulator deserves a complete history without holes.

I recall I think there was one, good luck locating it.

No idea on that one, but the fraud RealityMoron worked on Project Unreality.

> to boot the first Waverace logo WAY ahead of it's time)?
Yes.

No idea.

Gordon Hollingsworth (RealityMan) is why because he's an attention whore.

No idea.

Just to clarify my shots at RealityMoron I'll make it simple. PSI (Epsilon) was responsible for like 90% of the work on that program and getting it out there. RM did the other 10% which was basically the save/loadram routines for snapshotting saves and also the entire GUI and setup within it mapping it back to the emulator. After the explosion of stupidity, demands, and greed Psi backed off and quit bothering, but RM did not want to. At that point he put up years worth of scam worthy material in posts and other crap saying UPDATE IS COMING and showing images of so-called work. In the end he was incompetent and strung people along to get worship and attention from lovers of the program and did nothing but make a halfass excuse for not delivering and vanished (momentarily though as he then did a so-called Jagulator emulator which like naything he's done did NOTHING at all aside from the GUI.)

There got some answers and some backstory on the big turd.

I'm sure this has been asked before, but does anyone know how to go about getting in touch with Psi/Epsilon? I'm putting together a series of articles which describe some of the biggest accomplishments in the history of software development. (More so non-commercial, such as Torvalds and Linux, Epsilon with UltraHLE)

I'm writing them from developer perspective. I can appreciate all the time and effort he put into UltraHLE more so by glancing through its [leaked] source code, and not just by playing its games.

Where are you Epsilon? (or Psi) He's written such a controversial emulator, and the fact that he said absolutely nothing about its progress until the point he released v1.0 astounds me. Then he disappears. Very fishy.

Unless it's the fear of lawsuit, but judging by the outcome of others (i.e. PlayStation emulator on Macintosh) I think it's safe to say you're in no danger. And if in fact RealityMan was just the GUI coder, you deserve your kudos. (No offense RM) And I bet a lot of other people would like to talk ask you questions. Come back.

Ok, I'll stop pretending he's here... but if anyone knows where I could reach him, please let me know. I'd like to do an interview with him for my articles, if possible. Thanks.
