[QUOTE="TheGeneral, post: 472616, member: 73182"] You are wrong / misinformed. Please stop making assumptions. Arcturus was open source for a couple years up to a point where there were no contributions happening anymore and people started to use it as a base for renames, which was clearly not allowed as stated on the repository back then. Again, why is it disappointing? Because the development is dead? Yeah well no shit sherlock, blame the people who started to decompile & rename and pretty much demotivated me to continue working on it. Disappointing because nobody contributed? Yeah well I was disappointed with that too, for the amount of people that were shouting open source is better so everyone can contribute yet only a handful of people submitted pull requests to the original repository. I wrote a pile of shit, and you can't polish a turd when its oozing out all over your servers. No open development is not always better. People just want an easy way to add their name for a quick claim to fame. If people really wanted to work on an emulator, they dont need other people to do the work for them.
