I agree

Me three.

I think if the developer decided he didn't feel like working on it any more, he should release the source-code to other developers who could work off the great program he started.

p.s. Does pocket NES support a keyboard. I was trying it a few nights ago and it didn't work.

Ok guys, I dug up some more info, Richard Rice (The PocketNES Programmer) formaly worked for Rebellion, They made such games as Aliens Vrs Preditors and Tom Clancys Rainbow Six. He did network programming and tools programming for Aliens...Heres the credits: http://www.mobygames.com/game/credits/gameId,1127/

I do very much appreciate his work, however, I also have no idea why he dropped out of the public view. Maybe he got in trouble with Nintendo or something. If you remember, NesCE also mysteriously stopped making updates on the same day PocketNES stopped. I wonder what happened.

Okay, no offense intended to anyone here, but has anyone tried E-mailing him at PocketNES@excite.com

I only ask because I know the obvious can sometimes be overlooked in trying to find what seems to be a complicated answer.
