      >Fibonacci, your post was in poor taste.

      I apologise if it sounded like that. I just wanted to show why Christian's arguments were flawed.

      >Do you just want to see updates for the sake of updates?

      Oh Heavens, no! I want to see updates for the sake of (first and foremost) bug fixing and (if there's time for that) feature adding.

      >It would be better to mention the specific problems you are having with Generator.

      Not possible to read Game Genie codes in XXXX-XXXX format.
      After applying a Game Genie code, it's not possible to de-apply it.
      No way of having emulation start by default when a ROM file is loaded.
      Haven't yet discovered fullscreen mode, and I'm starting to suspect it doesn't exist.

      >As for using /dev/dsp, you can configure with --with-sdl-audio to use SDL output instead.

      I have problems with SDL - namely, that it blocks all my other audio sources. Only ALSA and ESD work fine (most of the time), ALSA more so than ESD. I'd love to have ALSA support.

      >To paraphrase someone else, not being able to program is a problem, although a fixable one.

      I had no problems with not being able to program until I moved to Linux and wanted to play the Genesis ROMs I still have on my HD.
