Inactive Byuu / byuu_nyan / setsunakun0 / Near / David Ginder - "Non-binary" furry programmer who wrote a Super Nintendo emulator, tried to blackmail Null into removing his thread, and is probably actually dead lol

Nah, he made useful cycle accurate software. With FPGA consoles like Mister, less people would go for it, but its still useful for homebrew development.
Not to mention, FPGAs are still emulating the hardware, so all details in software emulation can reasonably be brought back into hardware emulation. They don't always have the exact chips so they still have to find ways to simulate it in other chips. FPGAs are cool but they're not quite perfect yet either. Plus they cost money.
 
BlueSky crosspost:
As usual the only thing I'm seeing is the Libretro guy (Daniel de Matteis / Squarepusher / TwinAphex) talking shit about him and not evidence of any harassment, which is the same thing I saw the last time this got brought up:
I still haven't seen any proof of other emulator developers even harassing him. This claim comes from logs of TwinAphex talking shit about him in the RetroArch IRC channel being posted on RetroArchLeaks which isn't really harassment. I'm sure it's horrible to be called a pedophile (as he claimed people did in Discords he was in) but I would chalk it up to random trolls wanting to fuck with people unless somebody can prove they coordinated with TwinAphex or something.
It doesn't even make sense to me because we were most definitely named in Byuu's twitter suicide note and the anonymous post-suicide doc, no mentions of RetroArch anywhere. Is everybody who criticized Byuu guilty of murdering him? The only good thing I can say about that is at least it doesn't single us out.

There's a dead thread in PG on Daniel, if somebody has time they should rewrite it.

Can't let the truth stand in the way of using byuu's suicide as ammunition against whoever is today's struggle session candidate.

Is there a general emulator drama thread? I know the RetroArch and/or MAME has some drama that is similarly long-running, and this is probably a part of it.
 
Honestly he's the Etika of emulation. But at least I have more respect for Etika then Byuu.

People who uses muh mental health for awareness are the same people who are at risk of shooting up schools or killing themselves. These are the same people with the same mental issues at the dearly departed or just uses their death to moralfag.

Or that dumb tranny twat Chloe Sagal who decided the best way to protest police brutality was publicly immolating herself.

At least these dumb fuckers can't scam anyone for HRT money anymore! Pieces of fucking shit, I want to love people out of compassion but also hate them when they take their would-be "allies" for a ride.
