A DARK DAY FOR EMULATION :

RIP : Niels Dankers a.k.a X (1980 - 2002)

ON 11/03/2002 'X' WAS IN A FATAL CAR ACCIDENT AND DIED.

I shall never forget X he was my brother my best friend and I'll miss him.
The planned release will be carried out as X would have wanted it to be.
The planned projects are now on hold and progress will be very slow because I will know have to work on it
by myself.

The *final* release (On 22/02/2002 ZeRo announced in the Emutalk forums that the GBX player project will be put on hold.
But, there was also good news: ZeRo has started two new projects.
First, there is SNES Player, a Super Nintendo emulator.
Then, there is GENESIS Player, a Sega Genesis emulator.
ZeRo said that he intends to release the first version of SNES Player within the next 2 months,
and the first release GENESIS Player will follow shortly.
So, although GBX Player is put on hold, there are good things still to come!

But that wasn't completely true !
The GBX Team had expanded itself with one more member who they crestend Dr. Light who implemented
real joypad support.Further Zero and me (X) worked really hard and we finalized our project one day later
and released it to the testers.Their response : Whoa !!! Everything works much better then before ,
better sound , even steadier speed.But we had to remove some other features like priorities , Enable WIN/OBJ/BG
and soundecho but this doesn't effect the performance.
Expect the release on 12/03/2002.

The *Final* release is created in loving memory of X my brother and co-programmer.
