earok always puts the names of the authors of the installs as there the ones who did all the work.

what's the problem with Speedball 2 on CD32Load?
Hmmm playing Cadaver without saves is really a challenge!! I hope you included pre-saved games. |

Sorry I'm not advanced yet to figure out how to put saves into a disk image for use with whdload. At least its doable in under 4 hours if you have a spare day to play it! Plus of course there is room for improvements to the disc, cd32load versions of SB2 and Xenon, possible nvram saving for SB1/2 not sure how much ram required, though I'm guessing for SB2 its too much as they used codes for the CD32 version, save games on the disc for cadaver. Any help will go to a better v1.1! Last edited by Amigajay; 15 February 2016 at 23:31. |

Had a Speedball II game using latest CD32Load (0.14), worked fine (apart for some trashed sounds once in a while)
For Cadaver, you could just include some savegames on the CD, and the player could load them and enjoy the levels. I think I include some in my whdload install. AFAIR SB crashes on save. Of course not here NVM support is planned at some point for CD32Load but this is tricky as you know. My CD32 works fine and now plugged to my old VGA LCD screen. Time to burn some discs. |

It's his, we simply do not have a say about what we can do with it. The fact that it would make our lives more convenient does not entitle us to do it. If you owned a similar property you would certainly look at this differently. |

Maybe he's waiting back to hear on takedown notices on the various dozen other sites hosting his games in adf and whd formats?! |

Maybe it was the entire collection that was the problem, not individual titles. |

If you release the same games among 400 others you won't get a takedown notice...
I respect Mike but why the f**k doesn't he license his IP to real coders/designers who will expand the great titles: Chaos Engine, Gods, Cadaver ... specially because I'm sure level editors are still avail. There was an interesting project on Gods in semi3D (seen on youtube): stopped. What's the use of this IP since it does not sell too well except to enthousiasts... (I hope I won't receive a takedown notice for my remakes!!) |

that's a real shame - I hope you carry on your good work maybe you have been unlucky with this one. Maybe it just required asking for permission?

This said, maybe he would be opened to the idea of an official release? After all, you already did all the necessary work and all he'd need would be to sign a license deal where he would get x% of the sales you make This would mean that you would then be selling CDs instead of ISOs so that is some extra work but maybe the guys who already distribute Tank Furry have the logistic need to organize it and you could get a deal with them? This way everyone would be happy, not only would they have a Bitmap Brothers collection but it would be an official one. Also, the limited amount of sales would possibly incite Mike to be more tolerating. Quote:
Since the takedown already took place, there is now really nothing to lose by asking for an official deal. |
