No dev is credited in the readme for SMS core

Unread post by SegaSnatcher »

I believe the SMS core on MiSTer started out as a port of MiST core which was a port of Ben's Sega Master System implementation for the Papilio.

https://github.com/ben0109/Papilio-Master-System

Unless the current SMS core on MiSTer was fully rebuilt by a new dev, I think its only right to give Ben credit in the readme.

There is a link to the MiST binary in the MiSTer SMS readme, but I think it would still be more appropriate to properly credit the dev in the readme, so people don't have to click links or search around.

Something like "SMS core ported from MiST, originally developed by Ben0109." seems accurate to have in the readme. Just my opinion.

FYI you (or anyone) can change the README.md yourself and make a pull request on github. Ultimately, Mister is a community project, so that would certainly be in the spirit of the project. I'm sure sorgelig would be happy to accept this.

Thanks for the reply, yeah wark91 was nice enough to make a PR with that new information after we confirmed the source of SMS core.
