Yes, I'd have to agree that would be cool!  And it's not such a far
fetched
idea.  After all, source code to Doom, Abuse, and Descent have been made
publicly available by thier respective companies.

Hey there,


This is a joke right?  First off, I don't ever recall reading that Ridge
Racer was written using the
Yaroze library in any magazine.  Yes, it does fit into main memory and you
can pop in a Audio CD
and play music while playing the game ( something you can't do with the
Yaroze libs).  Yes, it
would be cool to get the source but come on..it's like Sega releasing the
source for Daytona USA,
it's never going to happen.  As for Wolfenstein ( not Doom ), Abuse, and
Descent these are all
computer games.  I don't ever recall any console company releasing their
source code ever.
Also I don't think any Japanese game company would release their source
code...........

Latah...
