Those you have been around a long time, may be aware, that earlier versions of 9.4.9.9 10.1a were leaked, I was given them, I passed them out. Earlier versions were leaked by others.
Chris knew this.
So when he asked for beta testers I thought he's going to still think we're cunts and ignore me.
But he didn't, he seamed this new MFME as a rebirth and everything under the bridge. Big man to say that.
This were the first build with the new DX draw code, so I stuck to one tech only to test. SC5. My playing showed, with a help from the debug sysyem load, that it was way too high, causing slowdowns on SC5 and especially SC5 Adder video. Leave it with him, day later, try this. All fixed.
Other than a few coding chats about reverse engineering, never got to know him. Some of us are vocal about what we do, where we're from, jobs, kids or whatever. He nenver seemed to boast or want the limelight. He seemed to be a very private man, and I respect that.
That's my little write up, not a great believer myself, but if we ever do meet up again, just make sure you've lots of £4.80 tokens..or are the machines up there also have unemptiable hoppers and tubes!? ..
