For now though, he's still a project owner on Dolphin's Google Code page. Dunno if that'll change or not.
It's official, delroth isn't even on the list of contributors anymore
I saw that, I just didn't think that'd be the actual reason he'd leave. I figured it was an argument or something.
The actual reason is that Dolphin's code base is a huge mess and most developers who worked on it didn't bother to implement stuff properly and instead created a huge pile of hacks and idiotic* code. More importantly in delroth's opinion that's still true for some of the active contributors. Generally, I guess it's safe to say that Dolphin development is anything but professional, and that's incredibly annoying when you're one of the few people trying to apply professional development workflow onto Dolphin.
* You know, words really cannot express how idiotic/dumb/crappy most of the Dolphin code just is.
Whelp, if Dolphin's codebase sucks, time for some people to jump ship to Gekko
</mutiny>
In all seriousness, an alternative emulator ain't gonna build itself (I've tried! No Gekko commits for months, and it's still not a useable emulator! WHY?!)
Jon Brodkin clearly has no idea what he's talking about.
