NES emulator

[Bernie]

Tom, Do you still want me to rip it and upload the image for you to compare? 

[Sadler]

Had some time to think about this today. And to be honest, I'm not really bothered by it. After first, after seeing the yahoo auctions I was little bit pissed (like you get at ebay jerks selling pirated stuffs), but also quite a bit amused. But after seeing the site, which seems to have no relation to those - meh. If you guys want to buy copies from him and talk about them, then that's cool. I'm not disgruntled about it or anything. 1) I can't sell these for myself for obvious reasons. 2) They were meant to be free for community. 3) Even if someone did ask for permission to use my emulation code (which is mine and not Capcoms) in a for profit project, there's still no way I could officially say "yeah, sure". Simply because I'd still be consider aiding in copyright infringement for profit (I'd use the word 'pirate', but it's lost a lot of its meaning since the 80's and 90's). I never intended to profit from it and I'm still not profiting from it, so nothing's changed. But I'm definitely gonna keep this in mind for all future stuff I release for free (gonna have to look over the GPL free for non commercial/profit crap or something)

 If this is a CD-R though, you're definitely wasting your money - hahahaha. Ask first. I remember when some stupid retrogame company got a hold of some beta SegaCD game and I rushed out to order it (totally legit) and it turned out to be a CD-R. I was pissed to say the least. The fighting game itself was a piece crap though, so double pissed. (And no, pissed != drunk)

 Anyway, do what you guys want. I'm cool with it. I've actually got an email from the site's owner and ask that if it is my work he's selling, and since it was released to be free for the PCE community, that if he can provide his nice manual and inserts online in some downloadable digital format free for the community to use as well. Seems fair to me. If not, we make our own here - right? Someone must have talents for this kind of stuffs...

Wow, that's incredibly generous of you! I don't think I'd be nearly as patient with someone selling my work for profit. To be honest, I'd much prefer to wait for upgraded sprites/tiles and have the art work printed myself, and burn the CD myself. Still, I think it's cool you are that laid back.

At any rate, thank you so much for your contributions to the community. I have nothing but respect for you!

 Sure. I'd be interested to see what version of the emulation it's using. I only recently made a CD version available that increases the screen size because of two floor enemies that couldn't be seen otherwise (in Iceman's level). I'm assuming it's the version before that (again, assuming this CD is my work or partial work. If not, it'd be one hell of a surprise ). Also, I hope you get a pressed disc. It would suck if you paid all that money just for a CD-R (really nice manual/inserts or not). I kinda feel bad that you spent $80 on this. I'll hook you up in the future with something cool

 Sadler: I have something pretty serious in the works right now (homebrew). And it's my end goal for now, for PCE so to speak. So I rather keep my focus on that and not worry about other little things that don't really directly effect me. And to be honest, I'm envious of the manual/insert work. All my CD-R builds of it are just hastily written words/numbers in sharpie >_>

That guy is tobias, a german. Bmw was in contact with him for his missprinted sapphire leftovers once.
If he just robbered toms work, then this is everything else than good.

[spenoza]

I knew not the backstory on this... Hrm... That is troubling. If, despite his fine packaging work, he's a fraudster and a cheat, he definitely needs to be taken to task.

Wasnt quite 80, more like 61 and some change.  I too hope its a pressed disc, but I am thinking otherwise.  Either way, once I get it I will rip it and upload it for ya.  Dont feel bad, but hooking me up in the future is always cool.    Do you want me to send you the artwork on loan as well?  Meaning the inserts and all.  Id rather someone scan them, that knows how to do it correctly.  I could try my best tho.

I don't think folks here are rushing out to buy stuff from anime4ever...

As vestcoat pointed out, this fellow is a profiteer and knows exactly what he is doing (re-packaging other's work).

I am glad that you contacted him and I am hoping that he will share the inserts with us...hey, we can dream, can't we?

Otherwise, as Bernie suggested, we scan the inserts ourselves (the irony!).

I'd love to get one of these, if it was a pressed disc and a finished version wit enhanced graphics/sond/etc. Really would like to see more Rockman/Megaman games cross over to PCE, its not like Capcom's going to give us any new ones.

[Arkhan]

Just scan all the inserts that come with Bernies, and let sparky mass produce that shit, lol.

 My scanner is sub-par. Probably better if someone else with a better scanner and more experience with it.

How "good" does the scanner need to be?

Talked to Sparky.  We will make sure everyone has access to all the inserts, including poster, for the MegaMan Super CD.  Patience..

Patience my apprentice

Received the game 2 days ago without to know whether it exist.





The printed quality is MUCH higher to compare mostly Xbox/PS3 etc. releases
