Rachel Bryk, an active developer for the Dolphin Emulator[*] project, passed away on the 23rd of April at the age of 23.

While this is hardly the kind of news that would shake the tech world and be featured on major news site, I think the SoylentNews community can fully appreciate her work and commemorate that tragic loss with the team and the retro gaming and TAS community at large.

Most of her work was focused on making the Dolphin more suited to make tool assisted speedruns.

A full announcement and commemorative post can be found on the official Dolphin project blog.

Dolphin emulator:

Dolphin is an emulator for two recent Nintendo video game consoles: the GameCube and the Wii. It allows PC gamers to enjoy games for these two consoles in full HD (1080p) with several enhancements: compatibility with all PC controllers, turbo speed, networked multiplayer, and even more!

    Where did you get that information? From what I read, she was suffering from depressions, which does not necessarily mean anyone else was giving her a hard time.

    I did some google [google.com] searches on her, and found several, read them, cited one of them, and tried to piece together what happened. I felt sad this happened 23 years into a life.

    I have several gay and transgender friends. I see some of the things they are facing. I was just saddened by the whole affair. I will try to get others out of a pit if I can, but like you say, I cannot allow them to drag me into the pit.
