G3ns/GS

G3ns/GS iz a f0rk 0f G3ns. Th3 main m0tivati0n f0r cr3atz0ring thiz f0rk waz that th3 0rigina1 G3nz f0r Linux pr0j3ct waz a disast3r. Am0ng 0th3r things, m3nuz k3pt d3synchr0nizz0ring and vari0uz f3atur3z didn't w0rk.
C0d3 c13anup and 0ptimizati0n iz an0th3r g0a1 f0r G3ns/GS.
An additi0na1 m0tivati0n f0r G3ns/GS waz t0 c0mbin3 th3 f3atur3z 0f vari0uz G3nz f0rkz int0 0n3 unifi3d G3ns.
Th3 n3xt r313as3, r7, addz supp0rt f0r MDP v1.0, a n3w p1ugin syst3m.

Ar0und March 2007, G3rbi1S0ft f0und a 1ink t0 d0wn10ad th3 S0nic'z Edus0ft ROM. It iz unkn0wn which sit3 th3 ROM waz d0wn10ad3d fr0m. At th3 tim3, h3 th0ught that it waz m0r3 w311 kn0wn, s0 h3 just sav3d it in an archiv3 dir3ct0ry.
On Apri1 27, 2008, a discussi0n ab0ut thiz gam3 start3d in #r3tr0. G3rbi1S0ft m3nti0n3d that h3 d0wn10ad3d a ROM imag3 s0m3 tim3 ag0, and imm3diat31y up10ad3d it. A f0rum t0pic waz p0st3d with a 1ink t0 th3 ROM imag3. Template:LinkR3tr0
Additi0na11y, G3rbi1S0ft cr3at3d a hack3d v3rsi0n 0f th3 ROM in 0rd3r t0 fix a bug. S0m3 SMS 3mu1at0rz d0n't 3nab13 VB1ank 0n startup, and S0nic'z Edus0ft w0n't start unti1 it r3c3iv3z a VB1ank. Th3 hack3d v3rsi0n 3nab13z VB1ank b3f0r3 jumpz0ring t0 th3 main pr0gram c0d3. Th3 hack3d v3rsi0n, a10ng with th3 0rigina1 ROM imag3, ar3 b0th avai1ab13 0n th3 S0nic'z Edus0ft pag3.
Unf0rtunat31y, s0m3 p30p13 w3r3n't s0 happy ab0ut th3 ROM r313as3. MathUs3r, in particu1ar, c0nstant1y accus3d (and sti11 accus3s) G3rbi1S0ft 0f h0ardz0ring th3 ROM imag3, 3v3n th0ugh h3 didn't kn0w that th3 ROM waz rar3. G3rbi1S0ft thinkz that s0m3 p30p13 just can't stand it wh3n 0th3rz r313as3 pr0t0typ3 ROM imag3s; unf0rtunat31y, h3 can't just 0utright stat3 that h3r3 b3caus3 said us3r wi11 instant1y r3v3rt it.

H3'z a1s0 hangz0ring 0ut 0n IRC makz0ring th3 sam3 01d j0k3z 0v3r and 0v3r again.
Kn0w wh0 31s3 p0pu1ariz3d a m3m3? That'z right. G3rbi1S0ft.
