This is not meant personally MrT. But everybody is always stressing so much, that 
we have to be nice to the EMU developers, and NEVER EVER ask them for public 
releases, since they could get scared away and won't ever return.
I think sometimes the "trusted people" are just taking this to far... These developers 
are normal people, not little schoolgirls, and the impatience of the people shouldn't 
make them run away crying, but incite them to do the best work they can!
It is understandable that these guys get bugged alot by the folks, and that we 
should all be patient and grateful. The developers are doing ALOT for the community
and the GP32! But it's also perfectly normal that the people are eagerly awaiting the 
releases of new EMUs like the one for the Megadrive, and in most cases they get just
no information at all.
Don't get me wrong... I'm not one of the guys who just want to profit from the work
of others for free, without delivering my share. In fact, I'm an OSS developer myself, 
and I know the spirit of the open source scene.
But in my opinion, the term open source does also imply open information politics. It 
should be in the interest of the developers to inform the scene, so that the scene 
can give feedback to them. But instead, everything is kept so confidential. You even
hear rumours about held back source codes, private releases and developers stopping 
their work without anyone knowing what happens to their code.
I mean, there are so many GP32 news sites on the net... So if there is a private beta release, 
why can't someone write a review about it? Just so that people know about the state of the 
project and the progress it has made. Zardos has quit working on his EMU? Make it a big 
headline! With an interview if possible!  This is what keeps a cool open source scene alive!
This is just my personal opinion... I hope you got my point, since my english is quite 
imperfect. Sorry bout that.  
 
Regards!
