What other mods?,

Is it me or is there a slight tit tat going on here.
Sorry Gouldjg, I certainly was not referring to you. Actually, I had in mind a couple of people who, to the best of my knowledge, have left the SH3 forums, but I was too polite to name them.

As a general point, though, I do think that mods should be better tested. A lot of them evidently get only the most cursory testing, according to the statement of the modders themselves, usually accompanied by a statement to the effect that they "don't have time".

One point that I find particularly exasperating is the abuse of the phrase "beta testing". Beta testing ought to mean "I've tried my mod every way I can, and I've fixed all faults. However, other people use different computers, and they might find ways of using my mod that I haven't thought of. So they can tell me if I've overlooked something."

Beta testing does *not* mean: "OK, I've made my mod, but I'm too lazy to test it. Other people can test it for me."

Check around these forums, and see how many commit that fault.
