And if you are whining about a cracker not : asking you for permission" to train your game it really doesn't seem like you understand it.

We were pretty aware how important the scene is for Amiga community, long before a community was even called like that. In Amiga Joker we wrote about scene stuff in every issue. I for example did two page demo reviews for about four years. Believe me, I know the scene.

No install needed for RESHOOT R, because installer is on board - even though even this is not really needed, since you can simply copy the folder to any device.
And yes, I´d appreciate a note from the creator if a WHDinstall is created. As you seemingly have a hard time to appreciate me asking for communication, I am happy to tell you why I find it important: Because WHDInstall is great, and trainer might be useful for some people. I deeply appreciate very skilled people taking the time to dive into my code, analyse it and develop a trainer. This is something which only very few people can do.
But what if someone not only adds infinite powerups, but also exchanges the Tars enemys with jewish symbols, and replaces the ingame dialogue with Nazi parole? I know this sounds like a rather ill comparison, but please let that sink in for a moment and think for a moment ... and yes, these things have happened before! So, where to draw the line? I simply think, that any creator of art (game, pixels, music, photos, whatever) has the damn right to know what happens with his creative output. Just my two cents. Got nothing else to add.
