Some recognition for NEAR

[spycat]

I was saddened to learn of the premature death last Sunday of Near (aka Byuu).
They were a major talent in emulation development, especially of bsnes/higan and the precursor to Libretro/Retroarch.
They gave us so much whilst being derided for who they were. May they at last find the peace and acceptance denied to them in this world.

i didn’t know him personally but anyone who contributed so much to the emulation world deserves recognition. You all do

We don't need multiple threads about this so I merged the two.

Apologies

No worries.
