![]() ![]() None of those were ported by Richard Bannister. Green Hat:Most of my emulation fun on a Mac was procured using one of the numerous programs Richard has ported, Snes9x, Mame or DOSBox. Competition is healthy, and breeds better software for us all - View image here:. I'm always happy to help out those such as JCWeinberg who attempt to build completely free alternatives to my work. Unfortunately for the original poster both happen to be shareware too, but maybe someone will come up with a free equivalent at some stage. My perspective is that Emulator Enhancer is no different.Regardless as to what I may believe, the most important fact is that the original authors of all these emulators are well aware of what I do, and they have told me that they do not have any difficulties with my policy.One final point joypad support can easily be replicated in my projects (or indeed any others) by means of USB Overdrive or Gamepad Companion. It's a cruel world indeed.To use a slightly silly comparison (apologies in advance), a well known company called Apple sells its commercial graphical front end to an open source operating system. I greatly admire the many people willing to give their software away completely free I'm afraid that my altruistic tendencies have been somewhat flattened by the weight of a substantial mortgage. However, my perspective is that this program is one hundred percent my work, therefore leaving me entirely within my rights to charge money for it. It is absolutely true that this module could not exist without the emulator projects that lie beneath it, and thus it can indeed be argued that I'm making money off the work of others. For those not familiar with my work, I sell an expansion module called Emulator Enhancer which augments these ports with a number of features - chiefly full screen mode, joypad support, and (crap) network play. I respect your point of view, but I'm afraid I don't agree with it.I give away all bar one of my emulator ports free of charge, and I'd love to make the last one free also but the original author will not allow me to do so. ![]()
