Description
All attempts at contact have failed.
LinesPrower contributed 22 commits
https://github.com/dolphin-emu/dolphin/commits?author=linesprower
The affected components are mostly Interpreter, JIT64, and JITIL but the commits may be affected.
To resolve this issue, each commits in question need to be either proven to no-longer be in dolphin, or un-copyrightable or the code needs to be re-written.

Just making sure this doesn't read like we're trying to guilt-trip someone :3

One major feature that appears to still be in our code (mostly untouched) is idle skipping in both jit64 and jitil.
Idle skipping really needs to be rewritten anyway, LinesPrower's implementation is explicitly commented as a hack, and it's hacky.

I just sent my consent. Sorry for the delay.
By the way, I don't remember writing idle skipping, maybe I just tinkered with it.
IIRC, my most significant contribution was improved JIT cache, I don't know if it's still in use.
Good luck with the project, and sorry again if I caused much trouble by not responding in time.

We greatly appreciate this. Thank you again. You definitely had commits that remained in Dolphin, and we didn't want to rewrite any of our contributors from the project.
