SNES9x PS3 4.4.4 (FW 1.92+/FW 3.15/FW 3.41/CFW 3.55) Released

[squarepusher2]

It's still doing it. I've only been using SNC lately so didn't realise GCC was broken.

I've just tried 8eabe1c97491 and it compiled fine, but every commit since then gives me an error about a return-statement with no value in function returning 'int'. A whole bunch of them for various lines in movie.cpp and then eventually ends with the make error 1 for movie.ppu.o

I get the same error in both Win and Linux so am a bit stumped.

I have been able to compile all revisions with SNC up until now (including my uncommitted experimental versions) all this time - using SNC with Wine on Arch Linux.

Anyway, I know what the problem is - overzealous on my part hardcoding some stuff. I will rectify it just now.

[squarepusher2]

It should be fixed now.

Hello,


I have a quick inquiry.

Do i have read the front page news correct, and is there still no netplay for snes emu ?

Iam currently looking for an emu with netplay feature for the ps3 !!


Any ideas anyone ?



cheers,

Yeah, there is still no Netplay.

IIRC - Mednafen has Netplay support - but of course playing SNES on it is a no-go since bSNES will run like crap.

So I guess I will either have to look at it again for SNES9x PS3 and decide if it performs well enough to leave it in. If it lags as hell or won't even play at a more or less constant 60fps, then it's not worth putting it in.

Yes he did, but the mods here believe they own his work and can restore the threads and ban him.

That is completely false both as to why the material is still here and as to the reason why squarepusher2 has left the site.
If you have to rake up this matter, then make sure to stick to the facts, not weird propaganda and other incorrect statements.

He was 'banned' at his own request. So that decision was really made by himself. Blaming it on others is twisting the truth.

Some of his released material is still available through this site, because while squarepusher2 does have ownership rights to his code, he chose to make a public release.
And by international law, a release made to the general public is indeed PUBLIC.

It is not possible, within the law, to exclude a specific public medium from using the same public release as others, even if the author wants to do so.
Anyone who believes that it should be so simply does not understand what a public release means.

Don't get me wrong now, as I'm not saying he doesn't own his work. He does.
But he chose to make a public release of it, both here and elsewhere.
And once that has been done it is not possible to change it into a non-public release, exclusive to some other site.
That is simply not how the law works. Retroactive changes of that kind are simply not possible.

So while he still owns the stuff he produced, and will have the opportunity for new decisions on how/if future versions are released,
he does not have any legal right to forbid the continued existence of what he originally posted here.


And as for the general sabotage of these threads that some people tried to do, deleting ongoing discussion threads etc, that in itself was illegal.
The text published in a public medium is normally owned by whatever company provides this medium, regardless of the ownership of the stuff discussed in that text.

So for example, if a newspaper publishes an article that some freelancer wrote about the Harlem Globetrotters, the published text belongs to the newspaper, subject only to whatever deal they made with the freelancer (exclusive VS non-exclusive etc), though neither one of them 'owns' the Harlem Globetrotters. And if that freelancer then gets a better offer from some other newspaper (or internet site), he is not able to make an exclusive release to them and forbid the first newspaper from continuing to publish his original release.

That corresponds very closely to the situation with squarepusher2 and the reason why his posts and links still remain here.
Because his attempts to forbid them, and even to sabotage them, simply were not legal.

This site is crap now and is being run like a dictatorship.

Not at all. It is being run by perfectly normal standards. You just see it the way you want to see it...

As for the TOS clauses that some developers objected to earlier, those particular clauses have never been applied to anyone on this site, and have now been removed. They were included only because the admins used an existing TOS template without doublechecking its suitablity for this kind of site, in their eagerness to get things running at all. That check has now been made and the TOS amended accordingly, to eliminate any and all cases where the old TOS implied loss of ownership to published software (probably because the old TOS was not designed for a site with software releases, but was designed for pure news reporting.)

In the new TOS all such cases have been carefully rephrased so as not to infringe the ownership rights of any contributing developers.

I emphasize again that the fact that these threads remain (despite squarepusher2's wishes) has nothing to do with his continued ownership of all software he produced.
But ownership of those software products does not translate into ownership of all pages discussing them. Those pages belong to each site they reside on.


Btw:
Since there appears to have been some misunderstandings about my role in the recent past, let me point out that while I am a moderator of this site since many years back (long before the recent change of administration), I have never had any direct ties to the admins of this site, past or present. In fact I am one of those contributing developers (mainly for PS2 software) which recent propaganda-mongers have tried to scare into moving to other sites, in fear that we'd otherwise have our work 'stolen' as the propaganda puts it. And that is something which I simply find absurd. And I am amazed that so many otherwise intelligent people have fallen for this nonsense. I have no more reason to distrust this site today than I had those many years back when I first started publishing my work here. I've never had anything 'stolen' from me here yet, and I don't expect that ever to happen.

Except for some errors at first by the new administration

This site seems much better then when thing spiraled out of control when PS3 was first cracked

[Warning]

So...didnt Squarepusher want this shit removed?

Even if it was removed. It probably would have just been shared again by another person following his work. This way he gets to keep all credit for his great work.

Not that his wishes mean nothing. It just would be counter productive to a open forum.

[Warning]

Not to support the use of illegal drugs, but I'm pretty sure this could all be happily settled with a good joint session. Maybe a hookah

Closing this up.
