Too Many Revisions

03-22-2011, 03:08 PM #1

I would say I wasn't here to piss and moan but that's exactly what i'm here for. There are too many revisions and all of them do nothing. They fix lines of code that do nothing to a game's performance and most of the time just end up breaking something.

My first Dolphin was in the 6xxx and it worked pretty good except savestates didn't work. Then I downloaded a different one and savestates did work. Then for "some" reason I had to download a 7xxx and decided to just switch and all hell broke lose. Every single version of Dolphin I got after the 7xxx one doesn't work for long. It just crashes and eventually literally stops working and tells me it's in protable mode and I should install it into system 32. Not even kidding.

You know what else I noticed? The 7xxx series in which i've been having problems with all have Mac version. Fuck Mac users. They knew what they were getting into when they bought a Mac. Forget devlopment as it's just fucking up the Windows version.

I once though of this as a great emulator as many games I wanted to play on PCSX2 simply weren't compatible. This emulator seemed to have it's shit down but I guess it doesn't.

welcome to svn.

seriously, REV'S ARE NOT RELEASES. THEY ARE A NUMBER GIVEN TO A CHANGE.

do you really expect every change to improve the emulator in a way you want it?

He doesn't get it. Instead of bitching about revisions, he should be glad he is allowed to download and use them. The project is under development and every change is not necessarily meant for you to use. Stick to the 2.0 release then.

Here's how you fix your complaints.

1 - Learn to program.
2 - Attempt to program your own emulator.
3 - Come back and start contributing to Dolphin.

I guarantee you won't feel a reason to complain about this after that. =^___^=

I'd also guarantee something. I'd guarantee you, that's guarantee you, that he isn't clever enough to learn visual basic, let alone something like c++. The line "They fix lines of code that do nothing to a game's (sic) performance" is enough to prove this. He doesn't have a clue.

I'd prefer it if you went closed source, only updated the front page every year and updated the emulator every 3 years too. It seems to be working for Project64.

There's totally no reason to do that though.
Apart from the fact that a number of noobs won't get confused over .. erm, trivial stuff like the difference between a stable and a nightly release...

I for one stopped caring about noobs several months ago, since no matter how you do it you end up wasting time.

Noobs shouldnt download anything other than the releases, witch are for the common and final user (n00b), any noob that downloads a svn rev is in my eyes willing to get his ass kicked by his own computer Tongue
