Ketsui Arrange
Re: Ketsui Arrange
Ketsui is probably my favourite shmup of all time, you're about to release an "arrange" version, and it could be played on the actual pcb !
I mean, whoa, it's like a shmuper dream you're creating here, so thanks for that !
I can't wait to play this on my cab
And if it's good you can count on me for clicking the donation button
You should get paid for this, if it allows you to do more of these arrange versions and you get credit for what you do, it can't be wrong !

I'll also donate once I play the arrange.

Re: Ketsui Arrange
If he starts accepting money for it then Cave will be on his ass faster than he can say SH3 emulation.
Re: Ketsui Arrange
I'm not asking for money, people are giving it to me. I'm not going to withhold anything if I don't get any donations, and I am not asking for them in any way shape or form.

Re: Ketsui Arrange
Haze, MAME devs accept donations even though they don't come up with anything new per se, rather than making information already known to the developers of old games available to larger groups of people.
trap15 actually puts something of his own in this, so I don't see why he shouldn't accept donations just as well.

Re: Ketsui Arrange
The Dumping Union accept donations, Mamedev does not. They are separate entities, and not everything the DU do is MAME related, they help as much with other emus (DEMUL etc.)moozooh wrote:Haze, MAME devs accept donations even though they don't come up with anything new per se, rather than making information already known to the developers of old games available to larger groups of people.

I have asked for, and received a grand total of £0 for 13 years of MAME work. If he's getting paid for hacking up Cave games, and distributing hacked up Cave games, then Cave will C&D him, or maybe just skip that part completely, they get worked up enough when NO money is involved. The fact there is a donation system in place implies asking for money.
Sorry, but when it comes to emulation and hacking I take a VERY dim view on things if it's money going into pocket, always have, always will.

Re: Ketsui Arrange
I'm pretty sure Nimitz posted a PayPal donate button for Shmupmame at some stage though I must confess I'm having some trouble finding it I do recall it definitely happening. I've seen various people in Development do the same and no one has issues regardless of whether it's commercial or not, and no one's complained. Finally, donations are indeed asked for and accepted for purchasing PCBs in the name of MAME work as I saw on MAMEWorld just the other day.
You say it's The Dumping Union that accepts donations and not MAMEdev itself here, but being so touchy about Cave C&Ding yourself do you really think Cave will distinguish a difference here?

The donation system has been in place for 2 or 3 years now, before I even took a glimpse at Cave's code.IseeThings wrote:The fact there is a donation system in place implies asking for money.

If Cave has any problem with me accepting donations, I will gladly refund any donations I receive for this work.
Honestly, I agree. Though, in my opinion, money should never be involved in anything; it always leads to complications.IseeThings wrote:Yes, from my point of view all is well, emulation and rom hacking is not a hobby where money should be involved.

I think it's quite clear that Cave either read this forum, or have informants here. If they get wind of people donating to you *because* of these hacks I can't see the end results being pretty. Hacking the roms can be quite good fun tho, would be nice if you documented some of what you found somewhere, unless Cave are a-typical of other developers there will be a lot of dead code in there, actual game modes, enemy types etc. that were considered, but dropped.

Re: Ketsui Arrange
ShmupMame isn't the work of Mamedev tho, and people have been kicked off Mamedev before when they were found to be selling ROM DVDs etc. even if they claimed it was optional and just a donation to cover media costs.BPzeBanshee wrote:I'm pretty sure Nimitz posted a PayPal donate button for Shmupmame at some stage though I must confess I'm having some trouble finding it I do recall it definitely happening.

Maybe some will try to accept donations, but it will always be frowned upon because it causes conflict. If you're being paid to do something there is always the incentive to rush out buggy, hacky code ahead of doing something properly leaving developers working on things for free to clean up the mess.
Re: Ketsui Arrange
Yeah, I've posted a bit of my findings on the Ketsui ST thread. There are a few bits of unused or stubbed out code that are interesting, and there are some rather strange "enemy" IDs that do interesting things. Maybe I should release a .IDC extracted from my .IDB sometime.

Re: Ketsui Arrange
Fair game then Haze. As I said I can't actually where Nimitz put it so it's possible he may have taken a similar stance to yours and removed it - I can't get results out of this forum even putting in direct quotes from the post/thread title. My last point that you didn't want wasn't meant as a rhetorical question though - you're distinguishing differences between yourselves and assisting organisations but do you think Cave will do so as well if they sent a C&D and/or lawsuit?IseeThings wrote: ShmupMame isn't the work of Mamedev tho, and people have been kicked off Mamedev before when they were found to be selling ROM DVDs etc. even if they claimed it was optional and just a donation to cover media costs.

My original point was that others have put up PayPal buttons etc for donation work involving hacking/emulation well before trap15, and it sounds to me like you're singling him out because there's CAVE work involved in it - but I suppose in the end you have a fair point in warning as well even (if it is a bit Captain Obvious). It does frankly seem just a little bit hypocritical to me considering what has gone towards the benefit of MAMEdev even in things like actual PCBs regardless of whether MAMEdev themselves were involved in said transaction, but I digress.
Bottom line: The real concern here should be not how *we* see it but how *CAVE* will, methinks.

Re: Ketsui Arrange
Cave Mole thread again anyone?
@ Banshee.
This is not a matter of "hey, dis gai is prohibiting dat gai to do wat he did"... it's that this is a hack of one of cave games...
Trap... just in case... Cave might be waiting for the release to start firing the artillery so I recomend you to return any donations you may have received for Ketsui Arrange to prevent giving then a "Casus Belli"
We can live without Ketsui Arrange so if you have a problem at some point I'll gladly delete any copy of that ROM I will have and I think anyone here should do the same promise

I'm not the fucking GwangeDash guys, I'm not going to try to put the genie back in the bottle (nor do I ever intend to, since it's utterly futile). If Cave has a problem, I will certainly return any donations I receive though, but I don't expect anyone to delete the game or anything.
Anyways, development is almost complete, mostly just dicking around with patching mechanisms now (so I can avoid the DDPA release problems again). Release date is now set, and will not change.
Along with the Arrange release, I will be releasing the Back Label and Fast Label patches.
Also, 7 is a lucky number.

Back Label and Fast Label are actually really old patches (about a year old I think), I just never got the chance to release them.

Saying you've deleted the rom and actually deleting the rom amounts to exactly the same thing, since no-one but you can every verify that you did it.
If Trap has heat coming from Cave he'll have more pressing matters than trying to get every person who ever downloaded the rom to send him an email saying they deleted it, just for peace of mind.

The dumps weren't actually done by either the DU or Mamedev, and there's nothing technically illegal about the code Mamedev distribute, remember the driver was dropped out of courtesy upon request, not because there was believed to be any real legal weight behind it.

Ketsui Arrange is one thing, but suddenly saying you're also going to release Fast and Back Label really is a big tease for us - and keeping the release date unknown to everyone isn't helping the hype.trap15 wrote:Release date is now set, and will not change.

Re: Ketsui Arrange
That's roughly what I thought. My concern was that (having not seen Cave's private C&D) I'm not sure if they'll actually target trap15 specifically or anyone who has contributed. I've seen at least one company blame an irrelevant group for contributing to piracy even though they had no hand in it themselves - but clearly as you've clarified for Cave to try and do the same thing they'd have little to no legal backing.IseeThings wrote: Well they'd have to....

Also, good to hear about Back/Fast Label too. I imagine the scoreboards for them will rush in popularity soon afterwards eh.
