La rançon du succès
Hey, j’ai reçu du feedback à propos de gCubix ! Tout d’abord, je remercie les gens qui gentiment me proposent de nouveaux portages. Ensuite, je tiens à dédier ce message à Michael S., qui m’a vraiment beaucoup fait rire :

Benjamin,
Hello. I don’t have the equipment to extract the firmware from the GameCube. Can I get it from you?
Thanks
Also, how do you play the games? Do you need to copy it onto the hard drive, or does it run straight off the dvd?

No.

Oh my. If you really _are_ serious, you should consider consulting a psychiatrist.

Benjamin Francois,
Ok. So your code is bullshit. I didn’t look at your source until now. I assumed that you were telling the truth when you posted those screen shots and that print statement. Since the world is free, you can put whatever you want on your webpage. However, it is not advisable to put blatant lies like your emulator on there. When you make a claim like you came out with an emulator – that implies many many hours of work – reverse engineering the hardware and operating system of a new hardware devices. You should be ashamed of yourself and remove this ridiculous pigment of your imagination from the World. You are the one who needs to see a psychiatrist for putting time and effort into a bullshit web page.
Good day

Dear Michael,
Yes, my code is bullshit. The thing is, it’s written on the webpage. Yeah, right on it. Oh, it’s written white on white, but it is, on the bottom of the page. It’s also written in the Readme file. Yeah, it’s in rot13, but it’s also written in it.
Maybe you forgot to buy a thing called “sense of humor” ?
Now if you’re such a dickhead you believe it is -really- possible to emulate a GameCube -now-, it means I was right by making this page. I’ll continue, just to make fun of jackasses. This is some sort of self-amusement, and guess what ? I find it -really- funny.
