    Wouldn’t put it past them as the Retroarch lead devs have done shit like that before.

    Do you have examples? I usually stay out of dev drama as well but I just started using Retroarch and I’m curious. I also don’t want to support people that abuse the community, so I’d like to be informed.

      Remember Marak Squires, the author of faker.js and color.js? Dude is unhinged in real life, tried making a bomb, nearly got himself killed, and was arrested for arson.

      The author of Anarch, Miloslav Číž, also known as drummyfish and tastyfish, is another one of those weirdos - he’s one of those stereotypical - “Go read my manifesto” type of guy. He’s got his own website (warning: anti-LGBTQ+, social construct denialism, pro-pedophilia). He’s also unhinged in the sense that he’s posted lots of weird, disturbing shit (warning: blood, naked 3D model) online.

        Free speech has to be absolute

        Movements such as (removed irrelevant part) shouldn’t be supported

        Make up your mind, my dude.

        Reading further into his… thoughts… I think he’s far beyond what I would consider “unhinged”, and considering his 14th point, probably in possession of hard drives that authorities might want to investigate.

        I also discovered that there was a Slovak MEP by the same name who was really passionate about chicken legs.

      Their source code repo contains a copy of libogc for wii/gc builds because they were annoyed at us. And i do mean a copy. Not a reference, or a sub-module, a full on copy that they build before building the wii/gc executable.

      Their own issue, as long as we dont get reports of their broken shit…

      Then there are the multiple times they cloned emu repos and butchered them into cores. Or the fact they force the core interface on emulators making them bad.

      Retroarch is a nice project from a far, but the closer you look, the more you see huge ass cracks in the project, held down with duct-tape
