Not sure where this subject will lead, but meh, I'll ask anyway.
I noticed that homebrew games are losing compatibility with every new release and now adays, most commercial games do something other than give us a black screen. Why is that? Since the demos are open source and most of the code is pretty much predictable along side of the explosive commercial game progress, I'd assume most of those demos would work.
Don't get me wrong, I'm not complaining or anything like that, it's just that when working on my plugin, it's easier to test against homebrew and other open source demos to fix issues and find bugs rather than closed source commercial games. This might not sound like the brightest thing to do, but because of this, I've been testing my plugin on an old version of PCSX2 (0.81) so I can pick up where I left off before moving forward so I can release it this time. Besides that, I don't have many commercial games with me atm, so homebrew and a small handful of discs is all I have. So I'm just using what I have to work with for now.
