Mr RL, I wanted to add a few words to express gratitude for both the work you are doing and for the generosity you display in sharing so readily. Neither of which can be understated. 

I came across this resource by chance a few months back and you really have captured the feelings I got as a wide eyed kid in those magical video arcades of the early/mid eighties. It has been a pleasure to watch this unfold and rediscover some true gems trawling your repository.

For many months I have been re-working an existing emulator front-end, so I can understand your passion and how it feels to toil over a labour of love. The front-end is from a somewhat possessive community, I had genuine high hopes of contributing much of my original work and sharing my passion with them, regretfully the hoops to jump through and controlling nature made me back away in frustration. Hence your generosity is a beacon which shines all the brighter in my eyes.

You are an example to all of the positivity that is generated through giving freely and the recognition of others' efforts, such is a pleasure to see and I take my hat off to you sir. Thank you. 

Mark.

Aww thank you so much for those kind words man, it really is a great and rewarding feeling to see such enthusiasm for this project every time. Lately it's going slower than usual because of RL things, but I still expect it to be finished somewhere in the summer. After that I will take a break for a month and give you guys that time period to make a wish list of 10 to 15 games per person, I bet I missed quite a few classics. Thanks again for the nice words, puts a smile on my face after a not so nice day, cat is very sick :(

Sorry to hear that fella hope cat gets better soon ?

Thanks bro! It's very difficult, we have two cats which we adopted from an animal shelter and they like us a lot but we cant lift them up to put in a basket (I don't know the correct english term). So we have a vet whom specializes in coming at peoples homes and treat animals at home. Thing is she has to be sedated before he can exam her and give her shots. It's difficult to explain for me in english but she won't eat for a week until today, she ate a little of a liquid snack so it seems the shots have worked to put her stomach at ease and lower her fever, but it they only last 24 hours and it's too much stress for her to get shots everyday. Well i'm really glad she ate something today so hopefully the shots will have fixed it, sorry for the long story lol tomorrow I'll start work restoring the Three Stooges bezel in case it wasn't restored already.

It sounds like you're having a really rough time of it mate, fingers crossed with that, sounds horribly stressful.  My daughter has been telling me this evening some stories of the school where she teaches, and to be honest I'm feeling a little traumatised right now at some of the things that go on. But that probably speaks volumes about me, injustice in any form really gets me.

My point being, if indeed I ever have one, that life really has an annoying habit of hitting us with lows as well as highs.  I think I'm seeing why we gravitate to light and fluffy hobbies such as these. 

All the very best.

How’s the cat fella?

While we thought yesterday she was declining in health, she finally started eating more and her energy level rises, also the other cat is eating more again, the vet thinks they may have some kind of virus. Things are slowly looking good again :)
