The Great Twitter Meltdown of 2021 - Emulator creator Byuu bullied to death by HateSpeech™ forum, Twitter takes up arms (Still No Death Report)

[DavidS877]

I won't reiterate what most people know about the emulator and why it's a consideration, but frankly you can play basically anything on the SNES9x and it'll be absolutely fine. There's no reason for that emulator to exist beyond purists wanting cycle accuracy.


There was a high processor requirement for it comparative to other emulators, yes. It was not reasonable.

These days if you want Autistic Cycle Accuracy(tm) there are FPGA implementations that work pretty well. And include all the fancy "make it look like a CRT" stuff as well.

And it's sure smaller than having 37 different consoles.

 

[No Face]

cycle accuracy is the future but has little practical value to the end user. back in the day emulators used per game hacks to improve performance and fix issues that cropped up as a result of using high level emulation that broadly works but doesn't get the details right in corner cases. being cycle accurate means you don't need to rely on those individual tweaks and such.

for people developing romhacks and new games for these older systems though I'm sure it comes in handy.

 

[Carpenter Trout]

So did every emulator ever. A current example would be trying to use Celeron emulation on PCem.

except duckstation, dolphin, ppsspp, desmume and so on and so forth.

 

[The Fatriarchy]

Only for the most accurate one. There was a "less accurate" core of the emulator that was still a decent bit above what others had.

Duckstation was always good but Desmume was a piece of shit (idk if still is since I use MelonDS now) and ppsspp used to have major compatibility problems in games like Driver 76. Now your average PSX emulator made in the era of bsnes probably needed hardware that was a little nonexistent at the time.

[Ex Cummunicated Sasser HD]

Nope. You could emulate Namco and Capcom arcade games at 1600x1200 at 60fps with a Celeron 300Mhz and a Voodoo 2 and 64MB of ram…

So, checking out Asahi Linux's code of conduct (a):

Asahi Linux Code of Conduct​

Like many Open Source projects and the greater FLOSS community, Asahi Linux is a collaborative open source community comprised of a diverse group of contributors and users from around the globe. We find the contributions, collaborations, and mentorships within our community to be the essential lifeblood of our project and appreciate the efforts of those who participate to nurture and grow those, and all other aspects of our community.

However, when a large and sufficiently diverse group of people work together, there are often cultural, communication, and compatibility issues. In order to minimize conflict, and provide a framework for resolution, we have a brief code of conduct that we ask all participants in the Asahi Linux community adhere to. These rules should apply to everyone, regardless of station within the community, and anyone can serve to remind, or ask the project leads to help resolve issues.

No list is ever exhaustive, so we encourage members of the Asahi Linux community to adhere to the spirit, rather than the letter, of this code, as that is how it will be enforced. Places where this code may be particularly applicable are GitHub issues and pull requests, IRC, Discord, mailing lists, Twitter discussions broadly directed at or between members of the community, and other direct interactions within the community. Any violations, especially continued or flagrant offenses, may affect an individual’s (or organization’s) ability to participate within the Asahi Linux community.

If you feel that someone is in violation of the code of conduct, whether in letter or in spirit, we request that you email as detailed a description as possible of the offense and offending party/parties to conduct@asahilinux.org. If you have questions, concerns, or any other inquiries please feel free to contact the project leads.

A large fraction of Asahi Linux consists of contributions to upstream projects. All Asahi Linux contributors are expected to adhere to the respective upstream Codes of Conduct when interacting with such projects, or developing code intended for upstreaming.

Rules​

• Be friendly and patient. We were all new or suffered from a lack of knowledge at one point in time. Please try to remember what it felt like to be on that end, and treat people accordingly.
• Be welcoming. We strive to be a community that welcomes and supports people of all backgrounds and identities. This includes, but is not limited to members of any race, ethnicity, culture, national origin, colour, immigration status, social and economic class, educational level, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity and expression, age, size, family status, political belief, religion, and mental and physical ability.
• Be helpful. By helping others to learn our entire ecosystem is enriched. We encourage members of the Asahi Linux community to mentor each other and help to raise the general level of knowledge in the community whenever possible.
• Be considerate. Your work will be used by other people, and you in turn will depend on the work of others. Any decision you take will affect users and colleagues, and you should take those consequences into account when making decisions. Remember that we’re a world-wide community, so you might not be communicating in someone else’s primary language.
• Be respectful. Not all of us will agree all the time, but disagreement is no excuse for poor behavior and poor manners. We might all experience some frustration now and then, but we cannot allow that frustration to turn into a personal attack. It’s important to remember that a community where people feel uncomfortable or threatened is not a productive one. Members of the Asahi Linux community should be respectful when dealing with other members as well as with people outside the Asahi Linux community.
• Be careful in the words that you choose. We are a community of professionals, and we conduct ourselves professionally. Be kind to others. Do not insult or put down other participants. Harassment and other exclusionary behavior aren’t acceptable. This includes, but is not limited to:
  
  • Violent threats or language directed against another person.
  • Discriminatory jokes and language.
  • Posting sexually explicit or violent material.
  • Posting (or threatening to post) other people’s personally identifying information (“doxing”), regardless of whether it is publicly available.
  • Personal insults, especially those using racist, sexist, or otherwise discriminatory terms.
  • Deliberately referring to others by names or pronouns counter to their identity.
  • Unwelcome sexual attention.
  • Advocating for, or encouraging, any of the above behavior.
  • Repeated harassment of others. In general, if someone asks you to stop, then stop.
• When we disagree, try to understand why. Disagreements, both social and technical, happen all the time and Asahi Linux is no exception. It is important that we resolve disagreements and differing views constructively. Remember that we’re different. The strength of Asahi Linux comes from its varied community, people from a wide range of backgrounds. Different people have different perspectives on issues. Being unable to understand why someone holds a viewpoint doesn’t mean that they’re wrong. Don’t forget that it is human to err and blaming each other doesn’t get us anywhere. Instead, focus on helping to resolve issues and learning from mistakes.

Consequences​

• Except in flagrant or otherwise egregious cases, the first infraction will result in a verbal warning. Everyone slips up or acts out of frustration at times, we just ask that you work to not repeat the behavior.
• A second infraction (or more flagrant first offense, as determined by the project leaders) will have an anonymized summary of the interaction published as a way to educate the community and serve as a reminder that adverse behavior will not be tolerated.
• A third infraction (or especially egregious first offense, as determined by the project leaders) will result in temporary suspension from all avenues of Asahi Linux community participation for 4 weeks. This will include, but is not limited to, IRC, Discord, and GitHub issues/PRs.
• Continued infractions will be dealt with on a case-by-case basis, but could result in permanent suspension from the Asahi Linux community.

This text is adapted from the Ceph Code of Conduct (a), which itself credits Django Project (a) for the original inspiration of this document and the Ada Initiative (a) for expanding the fight for equality and civility within FLOSS communities and beyond.

So, pretty much the social justice-approved ruleset that has infected open-source projects. However, Hector added a bullet point that's not present in the two original texts:

Deliberately referring to others by names or pronouns counter to their identity.

That's interesting. Wonder who is that supposed to help protect? (even though David has renounced being non-binary in his writings to his thread and to Null, but nevermind that... oh, and also including having this CoC apply to Discord. lol)

Spoiler: Also

Be welcoming. We strive to be a community that welcomes and supports people of all backgrounds and identities. This includes, but is not limited to members of any race, ethnicity, culture, national origin, colour, immigration status, social and economic class, educational level, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity and expression, age, size, family status, political belief, religion, and mental and physical ability.

Well, my political beliefs/identities (which I must state everytime I interact with people and that I hold as a badge of honor) are Pronounsareretardedism and Byuuisaliveism. Hopefully that's not a problem if I ever contribute to the Asahi Linux project, Hector!

 

[Cedric_Eff]

Well, the intentions most have laid out was that Near wanted to leave the Byuu persona behind. And deleting the thread was a big part of that happening.

As for why, I’ve seen two reasons pointed out:

1. The emulator scene was in the crosshairs of the Japanese authorities and/or companies, and Byuu realized a time to dip.

2. Byuu was depressed, alone, and struggling to learn Japanese. The emulator scene had passed him by. So he decided to leave the internet until he could create a new persona.

Either way, the KF thread was an obstacle.

Japanese normies only cared about emulation if they paid the full price. I have no idea why, but to some apparently downloading from non official sites is automatically considered “piracy”. Which makes me think how much the corporations have become deeply ingrained in the culture here.

Did he even get doxed before all this retarded drama got stirred up again? Some dead 13 page thread that doesn't even have concrete information on your real identity isn't any impediment to changing your online persona, but try explaining that to a retarded troon.

So did every emulator ever. A current example would be trying to use Celeron emulation on PCem.

I'm gonna power level myself slightly but I remember you could run at least run SNES at full speed with a blistering 300-ishMHZ CPU, 200 and under if you turned the sound off!

 

[Least Concern]

Nope. You could emulate Namco and Capcom arcade games at 1600x1200 at 60fps with a Celeron 300Mhz and a Voodoo 2 and 64MB of ram…

I'm not sure if this post is meant to be ironic or something, but I imagine a monitor with a resolution that high was hard to come by in the Celeron days, and I'm not sure what good it would do to emulate an arcade game at a resolution higher than the original hardware supported in the first place.

Not really, that was a common resolution for 20+ inch CRTs. Initial LCD monitors were a step down.

Hector is trooning out. It is intended to protect himself, I mean, herself

In Japan, piracy is a very scary thing since the authority actually treats it seriously with an iron fist. I have a gaijin friend who only got off with a stern warning since the cop took a pity on him because that's an automatic deportation

 

[No Batty Boys in Jamaica]

He probably wandered into the Aokigahara suicide forest and hasn't been found by the authorities yet. The Yakuza got to his body first, stole his identity, and are using his name to debtmaxx. In 5 years his parents will find out they're ¥1,200,000,000 in debt to the Sumitomo Mitsui Banking Corporation.
