|  Re: Full Throttle in YAPE/plus4emu Programmatically?
Wha's the point of retrocomputing if you hack the emulators so that your programs do things that no real hardware could eve do? At that point you're promoting the 'brand' or 'tribe' of retrodevice in name only.
Seems to me we're hitting a point when all the software produced for these old devices is spit out of cross-development platforms using pre-written libraries and graphics/sound tip-ins prepared on modern machines using tools/methods that were technically impossible when the "retro" devices were in their heyday. This change will inevitably result in those same cross-developing programmers ALL saying "this requires programmatic 'turbo mode YAPE extensions', at which point what does this hobby become?
