I'm not saying what he did was "technically impressive". I said it was a valid and merited effort that deserves more respect than just being brushed aside as a cheap hack since it accomplished what it was set out to do: get Primal Rage 2 to boot up and play. At no point did the author state his intention was to fix the playstation driver to be more accurate or something anyways so I don't get why to snub it on that basis. IIRC the reason also it took so long was that he had to go through and fix every instance of the game doing a bad DMA call and crashing, so he pretty much took the very long route of fixing the game (which still has a few crashes left).
