Hello,
    If everyone would like an update to the Yaroze libraries and would
like to get Sony supporting us again. I would suggest everyone send an
email to J. Patton j_patton@playstation.sony.com. As far as I know, he
is still the head of the yaroze project at SCEA. Everyone send him an
email letting him know that WE support Sony and the Yaroze program and
that they should be supporting us. 
   The few tools that were provided haven't been updated in months,
the libraries, although very usefull, would be much better with an
update. Dual Shock support, Multitap and 3D Primitives would be a good
start to the update.

Thanks,
Jason Jones
A loyal Yaroze Member
