Lol. I never claimed to have done wonderful things for FME, although I have donated hundreds of pounds in group buys, contributed financially to forums for many years, stripped my own machine, supplied wiring schematics and reelbands, helped emu authors with such material. Nowhere near as much as many, many people here for sure, but still. Probably the reason you don't know this is because I have not, and don't make a song and f*****g dance about it; I don't bully others when they have the temerity to "tread on my patch" (lol), principally because I'm not an insecure, bullying, sad little individual.
But of course, even if I had done absolutely nothing whatsoever, that is precisely no business of yours, so you "judging" me on that score only serves to further mark you out as the sad little man you are, expecting some "hierarchy", "status" or "respect" on a hobby internet message board, just because you got busy with Photoshop however many years ago. Heh, yeah, that says it all. Well, respect has to be earned pal, and you very clearly need to learn how to treat people yourself first, before you start criticising anyone else. If I were Banditboy, I'd tell you to shove your layout where the sun don't shine.
I'll finish off by saying that I hope I can look forward to many more 'unauthorised' Amber conversions of your precious little layouts. I'll be sure to give them my full attention mate.
Oh one more thing; in my estimation at least, the reason why this scene is what it is today is very much down to attitudes and actions of a few people like you. Seriously, GTF.
My precious little layouts? funny, at last count there were at least 400 of them doing the rounds. And that's just an estimation of course.
Whilst I appreciate your total of around ten hours and a few quid in the pot that does not even touch the edges of the 30 hours or so one decent layout takes to make.
At which point there are people like you, who seems to think that for some reason that work then belongs to them. It's something that's perplexed me ever since the scene began.
Oddly enough it was you who made a big song and dance about the quality of the layouts I released a short while ago. Even going so far as to being enthused enough to write a topic on the Mecca.
Yet, here you are freely insulting me. As such it should be no surprise, at all that I walked away from FME six years ago never to return as an active contributor. It also won't come as a surprise that it was people like you, who freely go around insulting people and telling them to 'get to f***' that caused this issue in the first place. It's also the same reason why we now have one emulator coder and not four, because they all just had enough of your sort who did nothing but offer up their opinions on matters that they just could never, ever understand.
Had you put in the same sort of effort to FME that you have into the business that you run (which is to do with loudspeakers, IIRC) for free, and then had it all smashed back into your face by some one who does nothing but offer an opinion then you could maybe get a grasp of the sort of damage opinions like yours do.
But you haven't, and you won't, ever prioritise FME and serving others that highly, because you are programmed to be selfish.
So as I said before - go f*** yourself. How f*****g dare you sit there and tell me what I should and shouldn't do with the materials I spent 30+ work hours creating.
But of course, it's perfectly normal for the opinion brigade in FME to do that, isn't it? that's why Wizard walked away, because of your sort demanding what he does with what he spent thousands of hours creating. You know, at the other end of the internet is this guy and he's sitting there thinking to himself "f*** me, are these people actually serious here?!?!?!"
Opinions have done nothing for FME because unlike playing the games on MAME FME takes considerable effort to develop the visual image needed to play the machines.
