As an op in #emu EFnet and a co-maintainer of Zophar's Domain (www.zophar.net:P) I must agree with Panix on all points but one, the day UltraHLE was released and the lamosity (is that a word?) flew in we immediately set kickbans on n64/roms/ultrahle/etc. The emulatoin scene is all about preserving the past, playing games you played when you were a kid, not mindless "Ne1 g0tz Da n64 r0mZZZ????!!??" crap. This clashing of the scenes we're witnessing is just what can destroy it all in the end. I was almost disgusted to see the ware community (especially iND) release an n64 rom pack for use on UltraHLE. Certain things don't belong together for the sake of their own integrity. Let's try to keep the emulation scene alive for years to come and end this insanity.
