Extracting OS4.x API information from publicly available executables

[xeron]

@Piru

OS4Emu claims to support OS4.1 specific features. The SDK that executable was compiled with does not have any OS4.1 specific anything at all. Every single thing in the SDK that i used to compile that is fully supported in OS4.0 final.

OK, fine. But i'm telling you that i know for a fact that it isn't, and therefore itix is basing the feature list of OS4Emu on pure guesswork, and he guessed wrong.

No it doesn't matter. I fully agree that the discussion was blown waaaay out of proportion. I just wanted to point out that OS4Emu probably doesn't support OS4.1 specific API features, people seemed to get very touchy and hostile because i questioned it, that annoyed me and it blew up from there.

Edit: Penalised and humiliated is a bit extreme. But then AmigaZeux purposefully try to wind people up, and guess what, it works.

[xeron]

OK, whatever.

I apologise for being wound up by the whole thing, i didn't set out to be so hostile, but people jumped on my initial comment and that annoyed me.

BTW, at no point did I ever say reverse engineering is piracy. As someone who writes Wii Homebrew, that would be somewhat hypocritical ;-)
