Dunno if this is the right section but well.. =) any of my old friends from the scene around in here? :-) would be nice to hear how people are doing in 2006.

Thought I'd say HI!!

Not been around the times you've messaged me on IRC. So, how is it going?

redblade · 27 June 2006, 00:30

Hows the Aros project going? How is RSE and your A4000 also

Hey redblade,

I actually never joined them, although I did a few things for/with them and the group (including that terrible ascii logo they used). I still talk to one of the members on a regular basis.

Hmmm, Blue Boxing tips

.. Yeah, don't do it, otherwise you'll get busted and go to court for a few years like I did.. Not fun at all!

Well, they never actually got me for that, but they did get me for using another popular method of making calls which I'm sure you know about.

Not done any logos in about 2 or so years. Too lazy

Ah okay, you still getting plenty of requests then

.

That's good to see that the ASCII scene is still active.

That the rotox from chesterfield?

MajicMushroom · 08 July 2006, 01:04

For it is him

08 July 2006, 08:58

wonder if he still dabbles with ascii stuff

MajicMushroom · 08 July 2006, 11:54

The last person that asked him for an ASCII ended up in a river with concrete boots

WayneK · 09 July 2006, 18:41

That's only because he was standing on slightly wet cement when he requested it, and sank into the concrete at a rate of approximately 1mm per year while he waited for Rotox to finish...

MajicMushroom · 09 July 2006, 18:45

heh A different perspective dude

Actually, WE know that's the real reason, don't we?

Top secret remember!

So, you're still in the scene then? Naughty boy!

Didn't those nasty policemen convince you that it was all bad like they did me?.. I'm pretty much retired from all the scene nonsense these days because nobody appreciates the amount of time and effort you put into things anymore.

Nice to see some old names still around tho, definitely reminds me of the good times I used to have.

I agree with you about todays scene m8 ... Goto www.pouet.net and all its about these days is slaggin people about productions they made..

The amiga scene days ruled

redblade · 18 July 2006, 08:13

No 5: Didn't he/you code some Amiga Cellular tool. ATACS or something?

I remember seeing Rotox mentioned in the greets list.

It was really bad when we (My group Capital) used to crack/train/release Gameboy Colour stuff. We would put intros on, do nice looking trainers with ingame options, hi-score savers etc, but all you'd get at the end of it all was hassle from people moaning that they had to press the START button to "bypass the annoying screen at the start of the game". Total madness!

The so-called scene is now full of people that hate intros, that will slag you off even though they've never actually done anything slightly productive themselves and just constantly moan about everything and everyone.

When I first started in the scene I respected the older guys for the work they'd done, but now it is the total opposite. You can help people learn how to code/train/crack or whatever for them to shaft you later on and deny you'd even helped them.

OK, Rant Over!

jrom · 18 July 2006, 19:20

hahaha... and for how long did you want to say all that?

I have mentioned things like it before in past release NFO's, but for most people these days it doesn't make any impact at all. Most have never even seen demos, crack intros, let alone an Amiga. I used to like seeing the crack intros or trainers more than the actual game itself.

The internet improved things like keeping in touch with other people without doing illegal things, like calling them or a BBS and it is obviously much faster to transfer files around. Everything was much more underground then, you had to know people to get onto boards and actually prove yourself to be worthy of getting into known groups.

Totally different now, everyone can download the latest stuff, nobody cares who cracked it, how long it took or how many days were spent doing a routine for a intro/demo or training a game.

Games can be dumped from disc without even having to crack it, but a group can still manage to screw it up 3 times in row. Nobody cares about quality anymore.

Sorry, started ranting again

redblade · 22 July 2006, 23:59

rotox: your game boy stuff, did you do that on PC or Amiga?

How good was/is the sound chip on the gameboy, good enough to send down dual sine waves at certain frequencies?

MajicMushroom · 23 July 2006, 01:34

I was in Capital as well, the stuff was done on PC. I coded some internal tools, some of which were released later on such as tools for finding free banks or free space in carts and a tool which was used for finding memory addresses where lives etc were stored in order to make training quicker.

Are you suggesting a Gameboy could be used for boxing? Naughty boy
