And "it is already out there so they can't take it away":

swanstation is already a few versions back feature wise? But, regardless, it will rapidly become outdated as new "tech" is added to emulation and issues are found with third party libraries or code. Good software needs good support and just having a ten year old hash is almost always worse than useless.

Is that really even true of emulators of old consoles? There's not a lot of new features coming out for the original PlayStation. Either way, part of the reason that SwanStation is dead is that it's not even the best libretro PS1 emulator anyway.
