Oh, I see. I didn't know about that. Thanks for the info.Controllerhead wrote: ↑Thu Sep 24, 2020 1:16 pmI looked at Sour's Github History. It seems like he periodically takes a break for a month or two every year. Well deserved in my humble opinion for a man who has given so much. This break seems to be on par with that.
.Yeah, he confirmed that he's ok, and just got tired and burned out from working on it.

I stopped working on the emulators back in July, and just marked them as archived yesterday because I don't plan on resuming work on them at this point (and I felt bad for anyone spending time to enter issues or make pull requests that will never get processed.)
Doing this for 4+ years (esp. trying to manage 2 separate emulators at once) has taken its toll and I was getting pretty exhausted by it all. It was something that was going to happen sooner or later, either way. Please let's not turn this into drama - I haven't even ever spoken to LIJI myself, and can absolutely understand why he might have been upset over it. (LIJI, if you happen to be reading this, I certainly did not mean to steal any of your work, and my sincerest apologies if that's what it seemed like)
Either way, I've taken a liking to having more free time, so I don't currently plan on resuming work on the emulators at this point. I won't say "never", but it's certainly not something anyone should be holding out hope for
And while I'm here, thank you to everybody who used Mesen or helped me improve it over the years. Although it had become a bit too much for a single person to manage by the end, it's definitely been a fun and positive experience for me. (and hopefully the code is useful to others down the line!)
Thank you Eugene.S for posting that!Eugene.S wrote: ↑Mon Oct 05, 2020 9:14 amFound it on Reddit topic:Sour wrote:Just for the sake of not letting the speculations spin out of control, I figured I should at least post something.

So thankful for his 4+ years of hard work; glad he is enjoying his free time. 
Like a Mesenxdsp-hfe?
FixedEugene.S, your link does not link to that post from Sour. Please, could you fix your link? I’m interested to read its thread.
I'm encouraging everyone who improves Mesen and Mesen-S to send pull requests to https://github.com/NovaSquirrel/Mesen and https://github.com/NovaSquirrel/Mesen-S so hopefully we can have a centralized fork right off the bat. I've got changes I'm working on myself, starting with trying to get Mesen's history viewer into Mesen-S.
Hey, thanks for that. I think you should change the Readme, to indicate it's a fork to contribute to. Also Readme currently points to mesen.ca website for downloads and donates, which are not under your control. Also it mentions Arch package, which I suppose you won't be able to update. Unless you can contact Sour somehow.NovaSquirrel wrote: ↑Wed Oct 07, 2020 1:02 pmI'm encouraging everyone who improves Mesen and Mesen-S to send pull requests to https://github.com/NovaSquirrel/Mesen and https://github.com/NovaSquirrel/Mesen-S so hopefully we can have a centralized fork right off the bat.
