Bsnes / Higan Emulator Author Near Has Died.Kiwi Farms, formerly known as CWCki Forums, is an American Internet forum dedicated to the discussion of online figures and communities it deems "lolcows" (people who can be "milked for laughs"). Click to expand.I just did the same as you out of curiosity. The brilliant, highly respected emulator developer Near (formerly known as Byuu) seems to have taken his own. It says it is against the rules to harass the people they talk about there. Krystal Kastle says: Sad news: the author of this emulator has recently passed away. The site isnt exploiting anyone for anything but weird sick entertainment. According to, the author named Near, took his life after. Near was famous for their detailed, perfectionist approach to their work. They're like people who look at car accidents on the highway. They were particularly passionate about game preservation, and dedicated the development of BSNES later renamed Higan. I would never have heard of it if not for this thing with Byuu. I understand you may be upset about what happened with Byuu or with what people seem to be saying on that forum, but you are spreading lies and I cannot forgive that even in an emotional event such as this. You invite lawyers and lawsuits.Ĭlick to expand.Meteo thinks anyone who isnt of one mind is a psychopath ignore him. This is disgusting because Darth Meteos is one of those users who harassed Rajkosto during early Switch hacking years. Meteos and his buddies made fun of Rajkosto and it wasnt until Rei acknowledged that he actually respected Rajkosto did it all tone down. He is just as guilty as Kiwifarms people in harassing others online. Gbatemp does not do enough to stop harassment and often they only allow one side of the story because it fits their narrative. So as some of you may have heard, Near aka Byuu was a nonbinary and autistic developer behind BSNES and Higan, both incredibly important parts of. They treated Rei like he was a villain during the Reinand/AuReiNand thing too! Gbatemp does not care! I dont care if I get banned for saying this. You people make me sick!īyuu had many issues going on and it is disrespectful to Byuu to just discount all of his problems because of any harassment. People are not so weak and simple to commit suicide over a petty online forum.Įveryone handle death differently and I think it is wrong to prosecute people who arent reacting the same as others. I just did the same as you out of curiosity. You are right that his information seems to be out in the open. It looks like a BB forum just like gbatemp. The thing you have wrong however is that I looked at the rules of the website. Since 2012 bsnes project was renamed to higan, which concentrates attention on multi-system purpose. Currently it is growing and continues development as an. They say mean things about people, but they dont actually do anything about them. I dont know if that's any better, but you are wrong in saying they are actively harassing people. I would never have heard of it if not for this thing with Byuu.Reading about the details of what happened, it is just so sad and horrible. The highly respected developer known as Near, creator of emulators like bsnes, higan and more has died. Constant abuse and harassment, doxxing and targeting their friends, it just doesn’t make any sense. Near has a long history in the emulation scene, working with others and often alone to create some really important software focused on accuracy and also contributions to translating some really popular titles. Mods feel free to take this down if it has already been covered, but I just learned of this from Twitter. #Near higan bsnes has died modsĮspecially considering all the contributions Near made over the years, it is totally insane anyone would ever even think to do anything like this. I hope whoever contributed to this is brought to justice. Near (better known to me as Byuu) was an absolute legend and Higan is really the poster child for what emulation should be. Low level but not ridiculously difficult to run, accurate to the cycle, and so solid you can build up whole new expansion chips and features like MSU-1 and HD Mode 7 around it. After dominating the SNES, Higan moved on and was really beginning to shine with other systems like the SMS as well. Not to mention the immense contribution to proper SNES ROM preservation, translation projects, and their work with other devs like Kevtris.
