Is there an emulation general drama/lolcow thread?

the emulation community is one of the most toxic groups in existence. also unironically... lots and LOTS of unchecked mental illness. for whatever reason emulation seems to attract extremely passionate individuals who are often neurospicy at the very least.


The emulation community is a melting pot of mental illnesses, troonery, incels, a "career" path that suits agoraphobic NEET shutins on disability involving topics that only males and autists would care about (30 year old retro games, computer programming, game ROM hacking etc).

For a small taste of drama that can happen, see this post I made earlier this year:


News of the FOI and my death certificate is slowly filtering to the Internet. People still pointing to the spic Vtuber tranny hector marcan as an authoritative source when they should be giving credit to Kiwifarms for the FOI and for releasing the official death certificate.

>romhacks.org is bad because… uh… it just is okay!?!?

Romhacks.org seems like the best bet for now, but it doesn’t have much. I suspect it’ll get a lot bigger in the coming months.

Speaking of emulation drama, there's romhacks.org and romhacking.net who absolutely hate each other. They say it's because .org DDoSed .net but I bet if you dug into their discords there's some moronic spat that is the real root cause.

but but but...

Romhacks.org is a den of edgy incels, that contributed to the harassment.

It's filled with mods that are offensive, just to be offensive.

The incels of Romhacks.org? As opposed to what? The handsome women-slaying Chads of Romhacking.net?

Incels accusing others of being incels. That's a fucking laugh.

I posted this in the Hector thread but maybe it belongs here more.
Anyway, found the thing I was looking for.
They all played hot potato with his goodbye messages, there is a telegram called "Near's Last Message" which is just the repost of the haters one.
Attached here is a chatlog from the time.

Zrcalo is the person of interest. He has a thread here and essentially is a child predator and open zoophile. The furry backstory makes my eyes glaze over but essentially he and Blumiere were members of "AltFurry" and would instigate witchhunts to expose zoosadists (who they felt gave zoophiles a bad name or something like that). This rapidly spiralled with Zrcalo using his anti-zoosadist witchhunts basically to gather clout and take down his enemies, which were people who didn't like zoophiles (animal fuckers) and left wingers in general, on the basis that being anti-zoophile was stopping the ability of the furry community to drive out the zoosadists (people who get sexual pleasure from hurting animals), as the zoophiles were the only ones who could really identify the zoosadists and the zoosadists needed to be driven out and the zoophiles weren't doing anything wrong because fucking animals is fine, actually.
zrcalotelegrammessages01.jpg
They formed a group called ZSIS which in part used Kiwifarms for intel gathering on zoosadists.

There was an account called ZoophileStruggs, which exposed zoophiles. This account exposed Blumiere for grooming a 16 year old called Hector (no relation to this Hector) because Blumiere started doing babyfur roleplay with him and Hector freaked out. Blumiere tried to argue that he was innocent, and actually this was being used by anti-furries to cause problems in the furry community and also something to do with Nazifurs not being Nazis and being unfairly targeted.
upload_2017-12-15_1-0-59.pngupload_2017-11-18_15-12-7.png
I think he was arguing that he was into diapers and not cub porn or something but anyway, there was also a sort of argument made that exposing Blumiere for trying to do erotic roleplay with a 16 year old was actually helping child predators in the furry community, because the roleplay was out of context and this was anti-furs trying to shut down the furry community's ability to police child predators by muddying the waters, and "exposing a child's chatlogs" being as bad as being a child predator. Something like that. I don't really follow furry lolcows so someone else might be able to give more context.

In response to this Zrcalo began dogpiling the teenager who was running the ZoophileStruggs account, spreading malicious false rumours while encouraging his alliance of zoophiles to harass the teenager. Ultimately this resulted in the teenager giving up and letting Zrcalo gain control of the account.

This leads on to "Andient Art exposed", which are the chatlogs that were posted. Andient Art appears to be a furry called Dan (but she/her) who was also using an account called TransphobicLsEvidence/@TransphobicLss. The original purpose of that account was to expose the person who ran TransphobicLs (a twitter account that mocked transphobes) as actually being Zrcalo, who by this point was 35 and dating a 16 year old or similar.

Dan started using KiwiFarms both as a tool to threaten people with and a source of information;
Dan’s impact on my life was actually quite recent: I was immediately labeled by Dan’s “TransphobicLs Evidence” account as a “victim of Zrcalo” when I never was one. I publicly told off the account but they kept labeling me as a victim until suddenly switchThis ing to labeling me as a predator as well, saying I was “too far gone”. My father was then called. Texted, and Emailed about me by Oliver. Oliver outed my paraphilia to my father, lied about being groomed, and lied saying I had and was distributing CSEM and saying I should get my devices taken. A few days later I get an anonymous account direct message with my personal information, mostly my father’s and threatened to post everything on Kiwifarms. After looking into it the dox info was handed from my other abuser to Oliver. Dan would downplay that it could have been Oliver. Saying “i am sitting here vouching for oliver because i know oliver would never do something like this”. Because of Oliver my life became even worse. My mother would yell and threaten me a ton to kick me out, to change the locks of the doors so I could never return inside, throwing away all my possessions, and even mentioning that I should be institutionalized for a “certain mental illness”. I’ve been under sleep much pressure and emotional abuse my state of mind has deteriorated so much I have been having suicidal thoughts a lot and have been extremely depressed, my body in so much pain I could barely take care of myself. Dan messages my fucking father a few days ago. And it turned into my mother screaming how I’m worth nothing to the family for being unable to do anything at home as I’m slumped over in pain. I’ve been screamed that because I’m worth nothing I should leave and never come back to my home.

DAN AND OLIVER OUTED MY PARAPHILIA AND SEXUALITY TO MY HOMOPHOBIC FATHER SOLELY BECAUSE I WAS ASSOCIATED AS ZRCALO’S BOYFRIEND. AND BECAUSE OF THAT I AM TERRIFIED OF MY FAMILY, OF WHERE I LIVE. YOUR LSS ACCOUNT HELPED TAKE AWAY THE THINGS I ENJOY. YOU HARASS AND TARGET MY FRIENDS TO DRAG THEM AWAY FROM ME IN FEAR.

I am not a victim. I am not an abuser. I am a fucking survivor. Dan’s also been keen on saying I’m faking my deadname. First you have no right to say that. And second I was somewhat ok with my deadname. I trusted those who were very close to me with my deadname when needed and that was fine. Hearing my deadname said by everyone completely threw me into a breakdown as everyone kept referring to that name as an “aha! Gotchya [full name]” Your fucking Lss account even had someone affiliated with them sent me and several friends of mine that were minors BEAST PORN.
The throughline here seems to be that Byuu was good friends with both Blumiere and Zrcalo, although he didn't seem to publicly interact with them (but it's verified he knew Blumiere because the Telegram logs show he was the second-to-last person that Byuu spoke to). As Dan's anti-Zrcalo strategy ramped up, using KiwiFarms to expose and threaten anyone linked to Zrcalo, Zrcalo appears to have taken pains to distance himself from a lot of his associates and go to ground. It's suggested that the friend that Byuu "lost" as a result of Kiwifarms is in fact Zrcalo.

Regardless, this does explain why Byuu suddenly went mental about his thread and tried to get it taken down. Dan seems to have been trying to identify associates of Zrcalo through the use of Kiwifarms while also threatening Blumiere, and this seems to have also had fallout on some discord servers or telegram groups or something that Byuu was using (maybe under another username?). The stress from infighting or people going dark seems to have had a really negative impact on Byuu, as these people were his only source of social interaction.
doubtaf.png1674658318134.png
Consequently he blamed the existence of Kiwifarms for his stress and isolation, despite the fact this was actually just furries fighting among themselves and all hypocritically using Kiwifarms as a resource. Hector (this Hector) appears to have known this group of people as well, because he claimed he'd had to contact Byuu's "closest friends" which appear to have been this group of zoophiles including Blumiere.

As a coda, it seems like Dan was actually also friends with a paedophile called Oliver who claimed to be in treatment for pOCD but actively lusted after teenagers (and Dan added them to servers with minors) and Zrcalo and Blumiere are no longer friends due to a disagreement over Keffals.

I checked it out myself. It's a pretty small site at the moment which shows much potential. The owner recently addressed the RHDN bullshit here.

Apparently he is also the owner of CDRomance (a rom download site, which includes pre-patched romhacks). There is much reeeeeing about this in the comments. He seems like a decent enough dude tbh.
 
Some more reactions.


Some surprisingly based takes from /r/emulation showing some self-awareness (eg. they are describing themselves/their own group) and proving what we already know: emulator/rom people are mentally ill autists.

Here's a new one: we are the "near truthers"

Yes yes yes, we were "finally quieted..." that's usually what happens when information (like the death certificate) gets exposed. You could have at least credited Kiwifarms for bringing it to the public. You know, the same Kiwifarms that the "near truthers" use. Fancy that, the "near truthers" found the truth.

Yes yes yes, you were totally hoping the conspiracy theories were true and that byuu faked his death. You weren't, like many did, salivating at the thought of using byuu's corpse as a catalyst to shut down Kiwifarms once and for all.

Take this with a grain of salt, but a 3 month redditor doesn't think GideonZhi is what he is hyped up to be. GideonZhi if you don't remember, is the other side of the story, offering a rebuttal to the Romhacking.net admin's recount of the situation. GideonZhi is also part of AeonGenesisTranslations, having released English translation patches for various games.

From the Ars Technica article: People should avoid Romhacking.org because of GamerGate manchildren. As opposed to what? The manchildren of Romhacking.net? You're 30+ year olds playing romhacks of 30+ year old games. You're all manchildren.

Ars Technica got so incredibly pozzed compared to when it first started and I was a religious follower of the site and member of the community that I didn't even notice at first when the wokesters and troons started taking over and was completely flatfooted when my comments started getting downvoted and I became a persona non grata there.

I ended up flouncing out which I am not proud of, but fuck that place. They've completely betrayed their origin and very name.

Careful with the name. You’re thinking of romhacks.org; romhacking.org redirects to romhacking.com which is completely different from romhacking.net because apparently Pimpledicks wasn’t satisfied with co-opting only one rom hack domain :cryblood:.
 
Finally I caught up.

Top fucking kek. I might sound MATI but I just casually hope byuuuuuuuuuuuu rots in hell. Fuck all troons and degenerate furfags. I had some kind of sympathy for him back then but nah. He was just an attention whore. Waaaaah i have never smiled in my life. Waaaaah nobody loevs meeee. Bullshit, his "Rodge But Gay and not Murderous" act was just garbage. He had at least one significant person that cared about him at some point. He was a phony.

But he was a faggot so I don't really care he's dead. I just wanted him to be alive for 2 reasons.

First, because discord and twatter troons wanted him dead as a vindication of their professional victim status just to further their cause with the feelgood cucks who demand everyone to "be good, respect pronouns and adapt to the New Times™" and him being alive would strike a blow to their entire soap opera. And because it was fucking funny to troll redditfags and RHDN troonfurfags with "There's no legal reports of any Americans dying by suicide in Japan during 2021." and watch the fireworks of butthurt afterwards. Well, too bad. They're blaming the farms anyway, and we're still here. Might as well double down and troll them further saying "Ladies and gentlemen, we got him."

Second, because I wanted this faggot to keep working on emulation shit and apply his assburgers to N64 the same way he did to SNES, so that N64 would stop being a retarded mess where you still have to see settings for obsolete videocards from a company that no longer exists. But guess what, the N64 is now essentially "solved" and the future is porting it to PC. The troon is no longer necessary to this planet.

So good riddance.

While doing so, I came across byuu-related stuff which I will post here rather than there.

byuu has had conflicts with Romhacking.net eventually leading to a ban. The nature of it, I don't know.

Not my final thoughts on this likely outcome, but…

Dave/Byuu was a highly complex person. I have a brother with spectrum autism. I understand the attributes as well as any layman because I am also his guardian. My mother’s last wishes were that I keep my brother “safe” (alive) and “secure” (enjoy basic human needs and best happiness possible) My family and I have ensured both. Regarding Byuu, I have drawn these possible conclusions:

1. Byuu had no such support system.
2. Byuu possessed a genius mind in his best expertise. (software development)
3. Byuu was NOT mentally ill in the usual sense.
4. Byuu was developmentally disabled in social skills.
5. Over time, medications possibly exacerbated his fragile mental state.
6. At heart, Byuu was a good, gentle person.

I interacted with Byuu three times over about 15 years. One was negative (Lennus-II semantics). One was neutral (Mystic Ark - real hardware), and the final time six months ago was very positive (discussions of SSMS-I/II and Oni-II’s fatal bugs). In light of current community discussions, cryptic statements he made to me in e-mails have taken on possible new interpretations. However, Byuu wasn’t the first highly productive member of our community to say he was retiring, actually retire in some cases, then return at some point.

Concerning our inactive member, Bongo’, Byuu said he taught Bongo’ assembly techniques initially, but the “student” soon surpassed the “teacher” exponentially in critical areas of rom hacking. I have been extremely fortunate to be associated with such amazing talented, dedicated, and hardworking colleagues my whole adult life, both in hobby areas and military and defense intelligence worlds. The two milieus are not that dissimilar, except in the continuum of personality types.

To succeed in my livelihood, I needed to possess the temperament of an alpha male. In protecting my brother and raising my children, I had to force myself to dial down those traits tremendously. People you encounter in life don’t come with instruction manuals, so to get things done most successfully, I discovered that one must build positive relationships and find ways to get on the same page with team members. Timing is everything. Patience is critical.

Byuu could NOT process interactions this way. His genius created dual pathways of amazing achievements and escapism. When I interacted with him infrequently through the years, often in disagreement, I assumed he was a strong, secure person who was pushy about his way of doing certain things to the point of being just another highly opinionated control freak. Nothing could have been further from the truth. Byuu couldn’t help being the way he was. Moreover, he didn’t mean anything by it. It was just Byuu being Byuu, and the community should have let him be.

It was wrong for all off us to ban him, attack him, and put him down. When he argued with people, he meant well. That was just his way. I watched my brother do tasks through the years. In the yard, he used six buckets to separate grass clippings, pine cones, magnolia leaves, dug dandelions, gum balls, and twigs. We used a fire pit to burn yard waste. One day, I grabbed the buckets, dumped the contents of all six in quick succession on the same spot in the fire, and watched my brother all but fall apart emotionally.

Had I known Byuu was not an alpha male and possessed autistic traits that encompass insecurity, panic attacks, insomnia, deep depression, fears of making first or renewed contact, and suicidal tendencies, I would have communicated with him differently when we talked about rectifying assembly bugs in Oni-II. He spoke to me enthusiastically about the future excitement of seeing a high quality English patch for that game, both on his part and also RPG players everywhere.

I realize the most sensitive people who are geniuses are also highly adept at concealing closely held private thoughts, but I was trained to penetrate layers of camouflage and accurately predict the intention of potential adversaries in that ultimate form of international diplomacy called war. On the private side, I was also a central figure once in a successful intervention of an attempted suicide. I understand a little of the pathologies of bipolarity and it’s several manifestations.

Saving a person with the talent of Byuu would have been worth more than 10,000 finished Oni-II English patches. However, if I had been a pest about it after he released Bahamut Lagoon, maybe, just maybe - I keep wondering - this could have distracted him from taking the terrible trail he followed to late June 2021. His words indicated he loved Oni-II, for indeed, he loved all SFC games.

The history of the world may be written in one word: “If”.

According to multiple people, byuu comes across as alpha male when talking to other people. A far cry from the quiet introvert programming genius autist we usually think he is.

"byuusan" registers on the forum to make an apology to the same wildbill above: https://www.dynamic-designs.us/d-dforum/viewtopic.php?f=36&t=1072

He makes 6 posts and all archived below.
He talks about how Twitter is a very toxic place that shames "wrongthink" which is a pretty "right-wing" thing to say by current year standards.

byuu said:
I've been trying to retire myself since February. Someone from another forum hurt a lot of my friends to get to me, and I blamed myself for that, and it really messed me up. I'm responsible for my own actions and I probably deserve what I get, but no one else deserved that because of me. I've thought since that event that it would be best if I retired.

Who and which forum?

That was already solved ages ago. I don't know what the hell you could possibly be talking about unless you haven't touched anything besides PJ64 and/or never looked up any newer video plugins, or otherwise any alternatives.

Yeah. I use PJ64 because it just werks, just like all the zsnes fags refusing to move on. But in my case, I avoid all the new stuff because it's always mentioned in the same sentence as retroarch and because I noticed that emutroons started pushing hard "command line standalones" for a bit in general. So I didn't care to do homework on whether that was all true. I'm trying to not be autistic.
