I think you misunderstand the word flaming. I put my opinion across which is based on real solid technical reasons. I'm entitled to my opinion as you are yours, I did it in a polite way & you less so.

While I agree there are technical reasons why LLE in N64 video emulation seems superior (no need to RE every single N64 video ucode), isn't a developer entitled to do things thier own way, if they feel like it?
Thats what I am trying to get across. Trash talking then how a certain developer does it, just because they do things differently, is what I am getting at in regards to how some MAMEdevs treat others. Not to mention what Shashclp mentioned.
I hope that clears up where I stand in this. I didn't mean any disrespect towards you earlier and I admit its harsh how I acted, and I apologise. But to me, it doesn't seem remotely fair how some MAMEdevs seem to get away in trash talking about how people do things or in the case Shashclp describe.

Of course there are emulators with thousands of hacks, intended only to play, and others intended to be 100% accurate. I'm inclined to prefer the latter, even if they ask for 300% more resources, but I won't go the route of certain MAME developers to insult those that do speed oriented hacks. As an example, during the time I coded Desmume always preferred demanding more CPU than hacking stuff, and there were other emulators that took the other route, and didn't start to say they were crap just because they focused on speed over accuracy.

...And that is the whole issue. Some MAMEdevs insulting non devs for how they do things. I personally think, who gives really a rats ass about how someone does things. Sure, with the N64 case its sad, but there will be other people who do things how MAME consider the "accurate approach", namely MG and zilmar & Jabo with thier LLE video stuff in PJ64.
And really, who cares at the end of the day? Its making the coder happy coding the way they do, isn't that what matters?
That said, I agree that this is a actually a good thing with Haze leaving. It just shows that a wakeup call is needed. A huge one.
