Sorry.
I am completely burnt out.

Haven't touched melonDS in forever. Even with gamepad stuff, I'm slow.

My mental health is terrible.

Don't expect much news from me for a long while. As far as the proper 1.0 release is concerned... I don't know.

Sorry.

Listen, sometimes life can really screw you over. You do excellent work here, and if you need time to be a human being and take care of yourself you should take it. We wouldn't have such accurate emulation without you, so you need to look out for that person who puts in the effort.

Stay safe, stay sane.

Hey mate, never been here, first time trying to play with an emulator but I read your comment. You want to talk? I'm a stranger but I have ears and eyes and I don't mind lending them to someone who needs it.

I'm not one for words, but a little financial support is one thing I can do.
1.0 is wonderful as is. As much as I'd love to see Netplay and other updates, I will be more than satisfied with this current version until the next big one rolls out.

Don't worry, your health is the priority. We understand it's tough for you right now, and we'll wait as long as needed. Take this time to relax, stay calm, and keep a positive outlook.

By the way...in case the mental burden no longer allows you to work on melonDS, do you have any candidates for co-maintainers in mind? like Generic or someone else you worked with well.

Stay healthy.

I'm excited to see future progress on the project, but don't push yourself! If you think you need a break, then take one. Don't let yourself get into any unhealthy habits! It's important to know your limits and work within them.

Don't sweat it, Arisotura, you're a great American, and you deserve some rest.

I'm confident that when you finally decide to release version 1.0, it's gonna be YUUUUUGE!

Completely fine. Your health is much more important. You have done so much for the emulation world. You can get through this. My prayers are with you.

"Haven't touched melonDS in forever."

You don't have to. It can wait for as long as you need.

There's something way more important than that right now, so don't forget about it, 'kay?
Focus on yourself and enjoy whatever you can as much as you can right now.
Take a laidback attitude over this and return when you're ready.

See ya on that day.
