Nice one side. Knowing the attitudes in the ROM dumping world (and that's not anything new) there's at least one more.caincan wrote: -did you figure that Shou refused to help a Vertexer owner with bad roms ?..

Unnecessarily abrasive as usual I see. What Drauch's said is no different than that you've argued though:orange808 wrote:Your list of "options" for preservation is either painfully naive or cynically calculated disingenuous nonsense.
Software that is "stored away in a secure place" as in inaccessible within a private collector's hands is not "preserved" in any sensible definition of the term. I'm assuming a "secure place" means undumped in a private collector's hands in this case, since you've failed to define what you consider a "secure place".Don't care what your personal convenient view of preservation is, by the way. By definition, if it's stored away in a secure place, it's plenty preserved.

You can't type up an angry rant without making vague statements and somehow this is my fault that I'm left to try and decipher your exact meaning? Okay then.orange808 wrote:I never suggested letting boards sit untouched and rotting in a collection. So, you put words in my mouth.
For the record, "a secure place" implies a singular place, and now you've changed your definition to a plural one. But by all means, feel free to keep blaming me for your communication skills or lack thereof.Privately held roms are stored by multiple parties. There is redundancy. Most also observe some standards for backing up data. Suggesting it's just one guy in a basement with one hard drive is the very definition of dismissive, disingenuous, and snarky.
a secure place
It's wasn't really that vague. You don't write books filled with qualifiers and details, either. The arguments were specifically and dishonesty crafted to make anything and everything that isn't a free download look bad.BareKnuckleRoo wrote:You can't type up an angry rant without making vague statements and somehow this is my fault that I'm left to try and decipher your exact meaning?

Bullshit.

Ah yes, the expectation of coherent, literate sentences. Truly it's all a nefarious plot against your character. You've gone and caught me red-handed.orange808 wrote:Bullshit. You're tryjng to exploit little grammar things to cover up what you guys did.

I don't understand what you're trying to say, but preserving old PC shareware games takes just as much time and effort as emulated console games, and is just as worthy a cause.Also, interesting how we have to hunt down shareware. That was a free download. The magic trick didn't fix it all better? Jeepers!
Unnecessarily abrasive to put words in my mouth. You just did. You ignored everything I said and invented a fake story.BareKnuckleRoo wrote:Why are you so angry at the emulation of games?
What is or isn't relevant is not your decision or your business.BareKnuckleRoo wrote: Is emulating something that is essentially irrelevant from a commercial standpoint but nevertheless an important part of videogame history really that much of an affront to the senses?

Says you. Because, you want free shit.BareKnuckleRoo wrote: Emulation's also kind of worthless unless it's widely available to play;
Once again, says you. The biggest hurdle to development is time, because it's a hobby. The community "play testing" isn't all that valuable. Often, emu devs know there are problems and it's not a priority.BareKnuckleRoo wrote: that's really the only way you get accurate emulation, by having people play and use your emulator.
There's the overly abrasive smear job I was waiting for. Further proof that you're not arguing honestly.BareKnuckleRoo wrote: Your emulation hostile posting style makes you sound like a Nintendo executive or something.

LMAO! Let me explain? Think playing dumb and making me work will stop the facts? It won't.

Since your responses consist of painting me up as an "emulation hater" when I openly campaign for using it to sometimes privately preserve games, you aren't willing to argue honestly.BareKnuckleRoo wrote:Since half of your responses consist of you projecting your faults onto others, and the other half are written in the tone of you frothing at the mouth with undeserved self-righteousness, I think I'm done here.
Show 'em how it's done and STFU already.So, maybe it is best if you do stop.
Damn Tim, you know there are quite a few Americans out there who still lives in tents due to this shitty economy, and you're dropping loads on a single game which only last 20 min. Do you think it's fair? How much did you spend this time?
Why 'privately preserve'? What harm would it do for others to be able to play this incredibly obtuse title that, in all likelihood, will never, ever see the light of day commercially. I'm puzzled by this stance.orange808 wrote:Since your responses consist of painting me up as an "emulation hater" when I openly campaign for using it to sometimes privately preserve games, you aren't willing to argue honestly.BareKnuckleRoo wrote:Since half of your responses consist of you projecting your faults onto others, and the other half are written in the tone of you frothing at the mouth with undeserved self-righteousness, I think I'm done here.
