Since I can define this error page, I will use it to relay some information. You may be looking for information on Byuu / Near. While the Kiwi Farms and everything on it is legal, DoS attacks are a federal crime. Someone is currently paying money to DoS attack the forum. Truth is this whole thing reads like Byuu having a mental breakdown and other people seizing it as a pretext to harass a site they don't like. Despite claiming that Byuu's been doxed before and his name is known he's refusing to release any information that would allow anyone to independently verify his claim. This same guy supposedly contacted the police only after he was dead who totally assured him "yep, he's dead".
All we have to go on is one guy who supposedly knows him and spent 90 minutes on the phone with him yet did nothing to stop him. What's even fishier about this is that there is zero evidence that he's dead. No one had even looked at that thread until Byuu emailed the admin at KiwiFarms and attempted to extort him into taking down the thread and further threatened suicide if he didn't. Apparently pointing out people being unethical or crazy is "harassment" now. The "severe harassment" consists of a 13 page thread that no one had posted to in months pointing out numerous instances of Byuu/Near behaving badly. Parts of the emulator created to keep Stephen Hawking's voice synthesizer working in the final years of the famous physicist's life were even borrowed from higan's open source code. If you've played any of the indie games influenced by EarthBound, aka Mother 2, then odds are good that game's designer had a copy of EarthBound open in higan for reference.
NEAR CREATOR BSNES EMULATORS PC
Near's bsnes was the first Super Nintendo emulator with 100% compatibility, and higan is a multi-system emulator supporting 26 different devices including the NES, SNES, Game Boy and Game Boy Advance, Sega Master System and Genesis/Mega Drive, and PC Engine. The linked document also focuses on the Kiwi Farms forum and the doxing and harassing of Near and their friends. Subsequently, Hector Martin, an IT consultant and Linux hacker, posted a message about Near from a mutual friend (CW: contains explicit details of Near's method of suicide) and said that they had confirmed Near's death with police in a follow-up tweet. Near posted a thread on Twitter explaining how they were affected by a campaign of harassment organized against them on the Kiwi Farms forum. Sorry for the space in the links, I didn't have 5 posts to post with correct links.Hmmmmmm shares a report from PC Gamer: Near, also known by their username Byuu, the creator of several groundbreaking videogame emulators and a recent celebrated translation of JRPG Bahamut Lagoon, has died by suicide. Let's hope that no more emulator projects will die, or else everything have been for nothing. Higan (byuu's final release) - h ttps:///higan-emu/higan/releases/tag/v110Īres (byuu's final release) - h ttps:///ares-emu/ares/releases/tag/v115 Mesen (Sour's final release) - h ttps:///SourMesen/Mesen/releases/download/0.9.9/Mesen.0.9.9.zipīsnes (byuu's final release) - h ttps:///bsnes-emu/bsnes/releases/tag/v115 Mesen (the last development build) - h ttps://ci./project/Sour/mesen/build/artifacts I recommend downloading these as fast as you can because no one can say for sure how long they will exist:
In regards to preservation this is absolute tragedy and we all know how Nintendo/Sony/Sega handles/treats their brands, just look at how awful the emulation of the games featured in the Super Mario 3D All-Stars collection is. I don't know if this is the start of a cursed trend but in order for future generations to be able to accurately experience all these older consoles, projects like these can't afford to die out.
There is still bugs and issues that needs to be fixed but it all depends on how much time people who forks the projects intent to put in them.
NEAR CREATOR BSNES EMULATORS SOFTWARE
The golden rule for pretty much any piece of software applies to these projects too, the work is truly never done. Well, given that bsnes/higan/ares is the most accurate Super Nintendo/Super Famicom emulator and Mesen is the most accurate NES/Famicom/FDS emulator in existence there will not be anymore official updates to these emulators ever again. What does this mean for all of us emulation end users? Just a couple of days ago another superstar left the scene, Sour (the creator of Mesen and Mesen-S)Īll projects on GitHub archived (h ttps:///SourMesen) and even Sour have confirmed he's not going to return to these projects. With the leave of byuu/near earlier this year (the creator of bsnes/higan/ares) a long era came to an end.
