A Year's Worth of Thanks and More

[Syrinx]

Hi all,

This is my first time posting after lurking on the forums my first year here because I wanted to take the time to thank everyone here for creating such a wonderful space to find guides, troubleshoot issues that I meet, and great content to customize the libraries.

While I want to thank everyone on the forums for all they've contributed and helped me along the way as I started diving down these emulation rabbit holes, there are definitely a few names I need to thank specifically.

To ETAPrime, thank you for all of the great youtube tutorials that led me through the process to get all my favorite systems set-up.

To Lord Monkus, sundogak, neil9000, & C-beats, thank you all for all of the incredible set-up and troubleshooting guides you have provided for so many systems that were giving me issues. I can't tell you how many times I ran into a problem, searched the forums, and breathed a sigh of relief seeing one of your avatars in a related thread. The moment I see one of you talking about the problem I'm trying to solve, I instantly believe I am about to get things resolved because you always provide such great insight and detailed descriptions for what to do in order to fix whatever went wrong.

To Zombeaver, your help when I started down (and continue to go down) the insane rabbit hole that is emulating retro computers is immeasurable. It has been incredible to play these older PC games, and you are responsible for the vast majority that I got up and running.

To Warped Polygon, thank you for the preconfigured settings for so many systems and saving me so much time. Finding these was incredible. Only wish I had found them before doing the Model 2, but at least I saved time on all the other configurations.

To all the mods and admins who help maintain this site and ensure that we can all enjoy the forums and can find all the info we need, thank you for all that you do.

To everyone in the community, thank you for creating such a welcoming place for people such as myself just starting to figure out emulation. I feel much more confident in my abilities after just a year of getting into this, and I have started to love the process of getting emulators set-up and seeing it all come together and see the first game load almost as much as I love actually playing these classic games.

Always nice to witness a lurker feel secure enough to step out of the shadows! Welcome to the light! Glad to hear that your experience has been a positive one. No need to be a stranger in the future, and if you run into anything not answered already on the forums don't hesitate to ask.

The devs directly helping out users is my favourite part. I always love their technical explanations to things. Thanks @C-Beats @Retro808

I would also like to extend thanks to the media folks who contribute amazing graphics. I always end up using their 3D boxarts and logos - @Cauptain @Mr. RetroLust @MadK9 @Dan Patrick

Also thanks to the members who filled my graphics requests - @Rlad @rodrigodn

They may not be very active in the forums. They just fill your request and disappear, like cool mysterious heroes.

Thanks all!
