I think he knows. But when you have an emulator wich can render the code of a 3D game, you're not decade away of it working completely. We are more talking about months, or one year, depending on how fast they can work. Pretty impressive if you ask me.

Theres no award for being a dick to other posters either.
I swear, being on GAF gets more and more disheartening every day. I try my best to make informative posts, helpful threads, and the result is a garbage heap of driveby shitposts, inconsiderate responses and just general dickery.
Sigh.
So this is still closed source right?
When do you think they'll open up the source code, because that's when a majority of the improvements will be made.
You're a fantastic poster and have provided insight into a lot of the intricacies of emulation and region locking. I personally look for your posts when I want to know how region locking for the 3DS is coming along.
Don't let driveby posts get to you man.

Going by the responses from the dev over at gbatemp, likely never.

Hey man you're super helpful in the 3ds homebrew thread, don't let shitheads get you down.
IMO you should make a general topic for neat information about emulation/homebrew. I think it's cool that a lot of people appreciate the informative posts you bring to the table but a lot of the time it just kind of comes across as you just trying to impress people with your knowledge of emulation/homebrew, even if that's not what you're actually trying to do. Also it isn't always completely relevant to the main topic of discussion. Though I'm sorry about any inconsiderate responses or whatnot.
Oh wow are they worried about something, does their code infringe on any known copyrights Nintendo has? Did they steal an SDK and rip the code from that?
Or just they want to keep it in an enclosed environment where they can do their own tweaking?
Edit: This reddit thread seems to have the creator's post. Interesting to say the least, but it does make sense. Hopefully it works for the best.
As far I understand, by his post from gbatemp, the sole developer wants to get the project to certain point, and then expand it and bring new peope in. At that point going open source could be a good idea, as it would make developement with a larger and shifting team easier.
If they still want to keep it private, I would venture, that when the original developer no longer wants to work on it (for private reasons or simply motivation), they would likely open it up. Has been the case with a few emulators until know. (Even Dolphin, if I'm not mistaken)
So "likely never" seems unlikely. The open source model has too many advantages long term. (Though short term, especially when the code base is still small, closed source might have its advantages too)
Ah yeah, just caught up on that.
I'm glad he's explained the reasoning, it makes more sense than the simple 'nope' he was giving prior.
Bleem!

Tekken 3 was 30 fps.
Running it at 60 was bit too fast but 53 fps felt about the same speed as tekken 4/5 so it felt really good.

So excited to see progress on this. Nintendo emulation is amazing, there's so much Dolphin has done for the Wii library. I can not wait to see what people do with Wii U.

The lighting is terrible and it's so slow! Bad emulator!!
But for real, it's really impressive something that functional already exists. I didn't even think there was solid headway into 360/PS3 emulation yet, but I guess similarities between Nintendo's hardware may have made this (slightly?) easier.

Well, I don't know what was going on back there, but thanks for the informative post, dude. There are plenty of people here who appreciate it.

Reading the creators post for CEMU it makes more sense that way to get it to be accurate and efficient right away then going about hacks and having to clean that up later if it were open sourced. Like if other people edited something but didn't leave comment notes what something did. Going back to get rid of it because it's properly supported they wouldn't know the issue causing it.
I see if better this way in the long run till they get to the point where they have most of the stuff implemented where games run and are supported normally to be open sourced.

Being open source doesn't mean that anyone can just make changes to the source code. Take Dolphin for example. Anyone can open a pull request (a patch basically), then other team members will do a code review before it gets merged into the code base. If the code is not good enough, it won't get merged.

It doesn't and it won't.
Wow how did I miss this post wtf are you doing Piston Hyundai.
Cemu 1.02 is now out.

I wonder who is behind it. This is not xenia where one guy gets interested in emulation and tries to make an emulator as a personal project but instead it seems that there is a team behind it that has done emulation before.
Perhaps one day we will know
This post makes no sense
MH3U is now showing glitchy triangles when booting it up, before it didn't show anything. I love the bi(?)-weekly update cycle, hope they'll stick to it
Games running in Cemu 1.0.2:
- Darksiders II
- Mario Kart 8
- New Super Mario Bros. U (1)
- New Super Mario Bros. U (2)
- Splatoon

May I have a cookie?
Someone at gbatemp is uploading a video of Pikmin 3 running on Cemu 1.1.0, I can't wait to see it!

I feel like those will be more virtual box or wrapper type things like Wine. And get it to brute force with your PC

Holy shit, DAT MUSIC!!
yeah just wait 2 or 3 years and it will be playable
Exciting! Will check the few games I have in apt format out again
MH3U: Still glitchy triangle mess in buffer 0
YWW: Still sitting at the loading screen
Splatoon: Still stuck at the gamepad screen, no shader improvements from what I can tell
Kirby Epic Yarn: Still crashes when entering playing modes
So no improvement for the casuel end user like me but changelog sounds promising
Still amazed that the emu is already where it is now.So crazy that some people on a gaming forum still don't know the difference between emulation and piracy.
