Raz, I'm sorry but that argument doesn't hold water.

If you emulate something but do a half-assed job on it, you take away most of the motivation for anyone to do it properly. After all, the games are already playable. Your decision to go only part-way with the emulation of CPS2 *has* affected the ultimate quality with which it is emulated.

If you had XORed maybe one or two games and left your work for someone else to continue, maybe you'd have a point. But the whole lot have been XORed now... where's the incentive to emulate it properly?


They are not to blame at all.


Emulation is the sincerest form of flattery
