Well, that's the problem, actually. Most of the people here
aren't programmers, but they're damn sure doing their best. Add to that the fact that only a handful of people (and up until recently, only two or three people who were active) had any sort of access to the SVN and the ability to commit code, and you wind up with a very slow process.
However, it's now gotten to the point where there is a SVN with many hands working with it at a time. This creates its own issues, as you can imagine, but that's for another post =P The point, though, is that it's only been recent that things have broken open like this in such a way that fixes are really flowing. For those that don't have access (such as yourself, currently), it still requires someone like KLS taking the time to piece through it and putting it in, and she has been severely short on free time lately, if her posts are any indication.
It's very obvious that you have incredible talent, and I'm sorry that the wheels of the project grind so slowly from your perspective. At the same time, though, I've seen more progress in the week and a half that things have
moved over to the community SVN than I've seen in a long time. This is the point where it seems that things are finally humming along here.
Everyone contributes of their own free time, and what little of it they can spare. Most of the people here aren't professionals, but most of them do a damn fine job of acting it. Just give a little more patience, if you can. As has been explained, though your fixes are simple to you, they interact with a very large portion of the emulator, one that people are hesitant to tweak without a lot of testing. This isn't any sort of apprehension on their part towards you, just towards the fact that there are so many irons in the fire at the moment.
I'm no one special here, no moderator or anything like that, so don't take my word as gospel. I just know from seeing your contributions that you are quality, and it'd be a shame to see you leave because things haven't moved as fast as you're used to.
Thanks for reading, and for your work.
