![]() The site isnt exploiting anyone for anything but weird sick entertainment. They're like people who look at car accidents on the highway. ![]() I would never have heard of it if not for this thing with Byuu.Reading about the details of what happened, it is just so sad and horrible. The highly respected developer known as Near, creator of emulators like bsnes, higan and more has died. Constant abuse and harassment, doxxing and targeting their friends, it just doesn’t make any sense. Near has a long history in the emulation scene, working with others and often alone to create some really important software focused on accuracy and also contributions to translating some really popular titles. Mods feel free to take this down if it has already been covered, but I just learned of this from Twitter. #Near higan bsnes has died modsĮspecially considering all the contributions Near made over the years, it is totally insane anyone would ever even think to do anything like this. ![]() I hope whoever contributed to this is brought to justice. Near (better known to me as Byuu) was an absolute legend and Higan is really the poster child for what emulation should be. Low level but not ridiculously difficult to run, accurate to the cycle, and so solid you can build up whole new expansion chips and features like MSU-1 and HD Mode 7 around it. After dominating the SNES, Higan moved on and was really beginning to shine with other systems like the SMS as well. Not to mention the immense contribution to proper SNES ROM preservation, translation projects, and their work with other devs like Kevtris.
