Current Project(s): nSX2 and Ninphin Location: Germany
SculleatR the young developer for nSX2 has only been developing for a year now, but is well on his way to becoming a veteran developer known by all Emulation enthusiasts worldwide. Originaly from Kosovo, now living in Germany, SculleatR originally got into emulation in the summer of 2002 when his friend told him about the great emulator known as ZSNES, and he has been hooked ever since. His first experiences with emulation development came with creation of a GameBoy Emulator that he created for practice as a private project.
As his thirst to learn more and the need to develop his C/C++ skills grew he wanted to experience more. Being a fan of the Playstation 2 Emulator nSX2, he saw the perfect opportunity to quinch his desires, and expand upon his growing skills. Joining the nSX2 Development team has been a great experience for SculleatR and has been giving him the knowledge to move on to other projects that will remain a secret for the time being. Also being new to the scene as a whole has also made him a fan of emulation from a user standpoint. One of the things he enjoys most about emulation is the ability to play all the games from his computer. He is also one of the lucky few that hasn't had too many bad experiences so far, and let's hope that trend continues. The only real bad experiences he has had so far involve the popular lame requests for bios files, which can make any developer second guess their motives for developing these emulators. Hopefully he stays strong and upbeat and doesn't get overwhelmed by the lame side of the scene. Currently SculleatR is not totally satisfied with his current progress, but that just drives him to get better. It is always nice to set your expectations high and give yourself something to work hard for.
What does the future lie in store for SculleatR? Well one thing is for sure, a new emulator is in development with the help of two other developers. This new project is currently private, but will go public, unfortunately for you guys I am not allowed to reveal any details. As his fellow developers influence him he is only going to get better and better. I for one look forward to the things he will offer us on his journey as an Emulation Developer. So let's give all the support we can to SculleatR and remember him for all his hard work and time he spent coding. SculleatR will always remember the people he acquainted with along the way when he does move on from the scene.
SculleatR would like to give out a few thanks to some of the people that have been a great help to him. Thanks to Muad, ShadowPrince, Pofis, McLeod, Asadr, Bositman, Expert, DesktopMan, Or9 and many more outside there, And his Parents for Moral support.
Thanks a lot for taking the time to help with this article SculleatR, and I wish you the best of luck with your promising future!
