I just hope that all those who wrote nasty condescending posts about how "it can never be done, stop asking" maybe take a step back and use a bit of measured optimism going forwards.
So excited about the progress, hope he can take it all the way! Looks promising.
They won't you see, because "it shouldn't have been done because it's won't be 100% accurate so why bother ye kna? it's still impossible at the end so we were right bro "
I'm sorry for getting carried away. However, I'm sure some of the hardcore enthusiasts in the Mister community are quite frustrated to where Mister is going. I remember how harsh some people were towards BBond when he brought software emulators running on the ARM, I remember the pitchforks for the OC Arm, and I'm sure that Wizzo's efforts to make the Mister more palatable with remote and maybe even a full front end is probably considered a nuisance... Kind of sad but what can you do. It's far from being the majority so I guess it works out fine.
For me, the Mister represents the opportunity to have the entire history of gaming up to the 1990s in one place, running without added latency and with an almost imperceptible difference compared to original hardware, all while consuming minimal power. The option to even surpass the original hardware with quality of life improvements is great. It's also wonderful to see all these transistors being digitally preserved for the future. Of course, if we can't have the fully accurate version before 2030, I'm okay with using workarounds to make it possible now.
