It would be cool if P99 open sourced their code and data to allow long standing issues to be resolved more effectively. As P99 was built on open source software it would be nice to give back to the community that built the emulator upon which the majority of functionality is based.
Yeah I mean - just because it's open source doesn't mean anyone will have access to push the code. Just do pull requests. I mean this is a free, unpaid volunteer project - it only makes sense to allow the community to contribute back. It's a win-win. There are pretty much no "secrets" and the ones that are secret, the community deducted already to about 99% accuracy to the point where it doesn't matter. Contributions and open src > cons.

It's ALREADY based on open source code anyway.
