Unfortunately, when they actually did have devs constantly working on it, code quality was not actually a focus. Now what we are left with are a few people who dont understand the code so they just add more hacks instead of doing things like rewriting/killing GSDX. Having a graphics plugin that can only be understood by one person is a recipe for disaster. Not only that, but the who arch dependency that prevents like ARM and 64Bit support further hurts development.

Exactly it seems no except Gabest himself really understand his code so they cant really fix any bugs in GSDX except adding hackfixes which doesnt work correctly anyway and can introduce even more bugs.

If it were me, I would focus entirely on 64-bit support and drop 32-bit support entirely. armv7 is probably not going to be reasonable, just armv8 at best (new, 64-bit devices.)

Emulating PS2 on 32bit doesnt make much sense but no one from current developers is willing to rewrite emulator for 64bit.
