This is a timed poll, intended to show people how good or bad is iDeaS. The expiration date is 3 weeks after the time this thread had started. The score will be calculated by the rules given below. The voters name will not be shown, to avoid any flamings or other consequences.

================================================== ========
There are 5 ratings, in order from top to bottom: Great, Good, Okay, Bad, Worst.

For every one of those, we add the values:

Great = +4
Good = +3
Okay = +2
Bad = +1
Worst = +0

And then the total is divided by the total number of voters, then rounded to the nearest second decimal place.
================================================== ========

Once the poll has expired, the score will be calculated by either me, or any volunteer.

You may rate iDeaS based on its performances, GUI interface, design, your experiences, your opinions, and/or your overall score. You may give out comments if you like.

No rule-breaking posts.

EDIT: Suggested by Smilley, There's going to be a poll for each of the emulators. Then once all of the polls are closed, the results will be shown in the Misc Handheld Discussion (http://forums.ngemu.com/misc-handheld-discussion/) for significant comparing results.

This poll has nothing to do with the emulator, so why post it? It goes against the upward rate of the emus in my opinion

Indeed. These kinds of threads detract from author morale.

Yes. Something we don't need.

Oh?

Well, we have an active community. The poll is just to show whether the community thinks the program has a bright future or not. The aim is to garner the results (and making it the most recent) and compare the results with other emulators for comparison.

I know it may change for some time in the future, but I just want to clarify.

Unless actual discussions happen about real arguments, poll and numbers would be far from insightful (an easy possibility is that no$gba appreciators could vote it up and bury down everything else, without reason or insightful argumentation posted).

I understand that problem also. Don't worry.
