An Important Announcement
To stop further confusion, and to make clear the way things are going to be, I am making this announcement to you all on behalf of glasnost.
After continued conversation with Glas, we have decided that there will be no public accessable development software, also added to that, ALL development kit shall and will be removed before the emulator goes public.
We now have a 3 man design team, and a fair amount of roms, so there is no need for tools to become public domain.
The actual design tools we are using at the moment are far from finished, and that is why none of you could spot a real layout when we put the pictures up.
I assure you all now, that the work in progress basic layouts, (Indianna Jones, Sonic the hedgehog and Rollercoaster) are all actually completed layouts that are now playable 90% on the emulator.
We will not and cannot make publicly available tools, down to the fact that the emulator could be easily manipulated to run some current Romsets.
Therefore, and take careful note of this also, if ANYONE attempts to hack or manipulate the software, development shall immediately cease.
I have never posted before on any other forum, nor said anything at all, but I have been a user of MPU34 for about a month, and seen numerous arguments and fights.
Glasnost is not the sort of person to tollerate such childishness, and I can promise you all now, if things are not different here and with this software it will dissapear as quickly as it arrived, no matter how much whining or complaining.
This software shall ONLY be used as an emulator, and ONLY to play games released by the 3 members of the development team, if any games appear that have not been made by this team, again the emulator will cease.
If you do not think it is possible for you to accept the emulator as it will be given , either speak up now and it will be cancelled publicly, or when it does arrive do not use it.
Please take note of all of the above, read through it carefully and think about it.
Many thanks to those that have been supportive of us thus far, please continue to be so in the future.
Those who doubt us, well, you will look very very silly indeed.
Also many thanks to our sponsor, and to the provider of this forum.

Tim, C/O glasnost

Please dont let a few people destroy the good work that you are currently doing.
I for one look forward to the emu and as such would like to be involved in some small way if possible.
I became aware of the mpu34 scene late on really, but can see the community developing in ways that only the internet and forums can allow.
Use these forums as a tool to help not hinder you.

Good Luck

We have some really skilled people on the mpu34 scene as you are already aware. Why not enhance your emu using these skills when you are ready.

Cheers

The ball, as always, is in your court. Whatever you decide to do with the emulator, I and many others will surely respect your decisions. In this case, closed development tools is probably a good idea. I was quite alarmed when I saw the words "if ANYONE attempts to hack or manipulate the software, development shall immediately cease", and simply pray that someone doesn't take it upon themselves to start hacking around. As you say, those who can't stick to the rules shouldn't be using your software. Keep up the good work

Rebo, let's not be so negative! Sure, that could happen, but we all hope it doesn't, and anyone who does that kind of thing is obviously someone who doesn't really care for the scene anyway.

Much as I also would like to see publically available tools, you have to see it from the "spirit of emulation" point of view, and bringing public tools straight away isn't always the best thing to do.

I'm looking forward to it, Glasnost, R3solution and whoever else is with you, I wish you all the best, hopefully first recipients of any kind of JPM Forum "Superman" awards!

I had a feeling this would happen, every negative post has made me cringe. Sorry to see you call it a day Glasnost, the majority here were showing positive support. But it only takes a few.

And if that pm did come from dr_barcrest he deserves to be banned.
