Explanations
Hello everyone.

Thanks to those that were positive throughout the time we were working on development for the jpm emulator.
I thought Id drop in and settle anything that was left unsaid after glasnost decided to cancel the project.
As you all know, glasnost's hard work was met with extreme skepticism, and also emails of severe criticism.
glasnost is the sort of person who doesnt want to speak unless spoken to, and has over the last 2 weeks been accused of near on everything possible.
I have liased closely with him as we go to the same college, and he has shown his sadness at the way he has been treated.
yesterday Glas recieved a PM from a "dr_barcrest" and this was the final straw.

It basically read as follows..

" .
so much for it being a shared thing, this now means that only games u want to release we will see,

if that happened with mpu4 u wouldnt of been playing any of the games u are now"

The way I interprit this, and I have thought it over, and in the end I come to the exact same conclusion as glasnost.
It is simply down to the fact that noone was happy with the fact that there was an amazingly good emulator coming out, nor at the fact that the development team have been spending countless hours on making basic layouts for release with this emulator that glasnost has worked furiously hard on.
It seems that no matter how hard you work, or how much you do, there is always someone who will not be happy and push for more.
Since the project was announced we have walked a dangerous legal tightrope as to copyrights and trademarks, and glasnost now fears that he cannot release this emulator through fear of either being publicly slurred for not spoiling people, nor because of the legal issues that may arise.
On that note we have handed the current working state emulator back to dialtone, and wish him all the best.
The basic layouts that are completed are being unlocked as we speak and will be sent to him to do with as he wishes.

It's just a shame there can't be more who share the same views as dialtone, and would like to *give* something for all, rather that whinge and whine and go on the take 24/7.

I wish dialtone and his new dev team the best of luck, and bid you all farewell..

Tim

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.

I think its sad that some people don't really live in the real world. Why destroy yourselves over others? Do you attempt suicide everytime someone gives you abuse or does not share your views? And take a look! The vast majority of posts have been EXTREMELY positive towards the project, and it would have been well received by many hundreds of people.

"noone was happy with the fact that there was an amazingly good emulator coming out, nor at the fact that the development team have been spending countless hours on making basic layouts for release with this emulator that glasnost has worked furiously hard on"

Lets cut to the chase, its all bullshit - and you know it.

Yep, see you R3SOLUTION,

That's one mighty fine outlook you and your friends have on life.

For the sake of all of us, I hope that the most power you ever wield in your life is to hurt hundreds of people you don't even know so that you can throw a hissy fit over a few negative comments and PMs.

Hopefully Dial Tone will be able to demonstrate infinitely more maturity and concern for others than you have.

Alex.

And Glasnost,

Just because you can throw together a few lines of code doesn't mean you're not an idiot.

Look at the way you have acted, and then tell me you're not an idiot.

Anyone who can turn to an entire scene and simply state "you are idiots" is not only an idiot themselves, they are also ignorant, arrogant, and probably best off inflicting their petty, spiteful approach to life upon fewer people than they have access to through these forums.

Goodbye.

Alex.

"you are idiots"

No, Glasnost. Obviously if you are posting WIP shots with Hi/Lo buttons, it would appear to some to be fake since the real machine does not have seperate Hi/Lo buttons. Many would have thought this very strange. Surely, even in an early W.I.P you would have found this to be the case and removed the buttons?

You see, this has happened before. People promise the world, and then nothing ever materialises. Many scene members are just naturally caucious.

I essentially share the same views as Alex on this one, and wish DialTone the best in completing the project. Lets push things forward.

Glasnost.....
I for one, am not an idiot
If I told you that I have in my garden a UFO ...... you would not believe me ...... you would want proof ...... and i am sure a photo would not suffice ........
You must realise that most people here put the JPM Emulator at the same Level as a UFO ......
its been talked and mythed about for the last six months so its understandable people are a little wary

I hope that You can understand this and still remain a part of this Scene, You seem a very knowledgable guy, it would be a shame to lose someone of your talent

If you did get emails .... then its a shame .... no one should be personaly argumentitive about your requests ......

A big thank you to you for sharing you time and work with us, and i hope that we can still keep in contact with you either here or though Tony

All the best Dr Richard Wink.
