I think this thread brings up another issue altogether. We don't know anything about redline or what he does or who he is, but we can assume he has alot of time on his hands, and that he doesn't use his comp for things other than SH3. I use mine as my school machine, programming and my media center.
Most people, however, don't have this time. I rarely able to play any games any longer let alone mod any more with work and school. But, if I had the time to play a real-time simulation in real time without saving, I would look for other ways to use my time like devoting it to modding or improving that game. I guess its just a difference of interest, opinions, or even abilities. But to devote such time to such things is not only amazing, but also very difficult to relate to or even understand.
For example, if I had the time redline does, as we can assume he has plenty, I would teach myself a programming language (if he doesn't know it) and then figure out how to dissect the memory of the game and find base pointers to important values to change the game in a revolutionary manner. But I guess this is a difference of perspectives.
