Near (Byuu) has previously appeared on HN as the author of BSNES, Higan, and other emulators for retro gaming systems. https://bsnes.dev/ https://bsnes.dev/ His work raised the bar for emulator accuracy and the preservation of video games. He was a towering figure in the field, and will be sorely missed. I am unaware of a better source for this information besides this Google doc, at the moment. Near’s Twitter handle is @near_koukai, where you can see his farewell message.
