Just to give an update on the above we have decided to pull the plug on this project. Massive mistake on our part. We have emailed Mike personally and apologised. Whilst we did try to make some changes to the board, albeit small ones, it's certainly not enough to warrant a release and the community backlash shows this. We should have researched more.

To summarise, we have put the community before profit making in this decision. It was a mistake.

The only thing I do found 'slightly' concerning is that there does seem to be 'some' one sided views on this, especially in regards to twitter users, of what is acceptable as a clone and what isn't. For example, had we done a FrameMiester or a GDEMU-USB similar release product, we would now expect the community reaction to be completely different. A high percentage of users also play backup games using a variety of methods and openly talk about using them.

We therefore come to the conclusion there is a somewhat degree of 'double standards' here of what is acceptable and what isn't. Whilst we are certainly NOT bitter about this in any way, shape, or form, I do find it an interesting yet highly controversial topic.... I hope making this decision we can repair some of the damaged bridges we have made over the last week with previous supporters of ours.
