I want the entire sphere of emulation to be protected, preserved and made to be the best and most accessible that it can be. Should we do something? Are we doing something? Are people who know about this doing what needs to be done? I'm just a writer, but am a keen emulation user for article writing. Are any gaming news websites covering this? I feel like I've stumbled into some kind of nefarious conspiracy!Īm I over-reacting? Shouldn't whoever is behind this destruction of data e stopped, and those going along with it be educated on the matter? It feels like something needs to be done about this, right now.
What you've described is so abhorrent, frankly I'm having trouble comprehending it. To what end are they removing those N64 headers, which based on your description are integral to the data? Surely those with more knowledge/sense should be putting a stop to this? Isn't there, you know, some kind of gate keeper or authority committee which oversees this and prevents incompetence like that taking place?ĭoes this mean entire archives of N64 ROMs are going to be useless? What the hell is going on in the ROM preservation community? It sounds to me like some uninformed idiot is riding roughshod over the work of others, screwing stuff up willy-nilly.
