You should maybe take it as a big compliment this is being shared out there, because it means people like it and enjoy it You certainly get a big compliment from me! |

Yes, it's a compliment
...but, not very happy when lamers call me a "criminal" for trying to use this to kickstart something good in the Amiga community and then give all the money back |

I just think maybe it's that other collections out there are free, and this one requires payment. |

I'm a very generous / sharing person; 600 people or so got this for free. As mentioned in the previous posts; any EAB members who joined more than 6 month ago can still have this for free ...but if people just join up to grab this, send me a nice PM saying thank you / appreciate, tell me their story etc. then I usually send them the URLs anyway and suggest that they can donate if they feel it's worth it Obviously I don't for loosers who say "Gimme, gimme, gimme!!!", and trust me I've had many of these type of PMs Quote:

DamienD's WinUAE Collection does not share anything with others that can't be found readily with our favourite online search engine, except Damien's own hard work, and the original links were not shared publicly. The fruits of Damien's labour were originally meant to be shared freely with established members of EAB who would appreciate the considerable effort that went into this project. In addition, it soon became possible for others to share the experience upon payment of a small contribution to support those who, by their efforts, much like Damien, are helping to keep the Amiga Scene thriving, as opposed to those who are only interested in freeloading, and whose utter disregard will, I imagine, kill it off eventually. |

I completely understand you wanting to help this board and the WinUAE developer, and perhaps those people do, too, just they see it differently because of the "payment wall". |

Besides putting everything together, working out verified / 100% working files from the TOSEC nightmare... I've also had to teach myself new skills; some of those "[AmigaCD] --> .HDFs" took me days to perfect. All I'm asking is for £20 (the price of a takeaway in London) for my time involved and as mentioned numerous times; this has already and will continue to go back into the Amiga community that I love and have been part of for eons. If people have an issue with the above. FUCK 'EM!!! and it's really simple; don't grab my collection |

I know DamienD is fed up with all this shit, understandably, but in the end what's happening here is damaging for every side, so here's an idea:
How about the collection takes the shape of distributing just the screenshot and config files? Yes, it won't be "download and play", because you'd have to get the games from elsewhere (anybody can do this if they aren't lazy) and point configs to the right paths, but come on, the dude here has done a shit ton of work, you can't do any on your own? And then any claim for donations to be "illegitimate" is well beyond moot. I would go as far as including every ADF/HDF he has created through the years, which he has fixed from HD installs, CD installs and whatnot. But if it becomes mucky, whatever, it's people's job to find them. Just my two cents to try to construct instead of destroying. There's too much destruction going on, we must protect creation and the builders of it! At least DamienD you can get comfort in knowing how many people appreciate you sharing this and the work you put in it. I made that Gotek collection some months ago and not many gave a shit, so I just lost interest :P Well basically that happens to me and every project I have, PT-1210 is also not a huge interest generation. At least I haven't gotten any fuck to call me a "criminal " over it |

Or perhaps, just perhaps, make the collection free (as it already is out there), but strongly suggest and ask for donations to keep this forum and the work you do alive! Kind of coating it with sugar, you know
Maybe that way you actually get more "likes" and soothe your way with those who hate what you currently do! |

Total donations; just over £300 pounds... massive hey; less than 50 pence per person? ...but I don't care for or need money and that isn't why I created this project back in 2005... it was for myself and I'm very proud of what I've achieved. Asking for a small donation is so that I can give everything back to the Amiga community Unfortunately though; people always want everything for free no matter how much work somebody puts in... ...and as I've already mentioned numerous times, any EAB members who joined more than 6 month ago gets my collection without question; these are my brothers / sisters and people who really understand the work I do in the Amiga community. Otherwise a small donation is asked for; not really a big deal is it and as you've said yourself: Quote:

Just look at some of the new game development threads on EAB / other popular Amiga forums where the authors are struggling These are the talented / special people who are still devoting their limited time in making stuff for our beloved computer; and I'm trying to support / help out via my project ...pfft; people then call me a criminal Plus I've just had a PM from some *hater* saying that anybody could do all this in 2 weeks easy if they know how to use a computer (yeah right, good luck with that), and he'll now just grab my collection, make a few changes, before finally relabelling as his own Last edited by DamienD; 01 March 2018 at 01:00. |

Thing is; he joined and started immediately giving me shit publically in my thread.
I obviously removed his numerous posts; as I don't want this to turn into a warzone yet again... I then promptly PM'd him quoting his post and answered any of his questions / points. He wasn't interested in rational discussion, then proceeded to say what I've already mentioned above and also "Who are you, no one in *the scene* really knows you at all?". Anyway, I tried to give him a chance to discuss but, just hate... Got bored so he has now been banned. Bye, bye kurwa1337!!! Oh, and please tell us all your *scene* name since you must be sooooo important given what you told me. |

DamienD, do not care about others' feeling of inferiority just go ahead with your passion and love for what you have been doing. People who have respect actually behave themselves in the way nobody would complain about, Muhammad Ali used to say " stay pretty whatever happens stay pretty"....all real fans are with you mate!!!
Thanks for your work! Cheers |

@DamienD,
Today I did a review for the Greek website amiga.gr which you can find it at https://amiga.gr/2018/03/806/nea-syl...ion-gia-winuae I know, it's all Greek to you, but I thought you would like to know. Also, I sent a small donation to you. Unfortunately, I couldn't send you more, and they are not enough to cover the great work you do. think of it as a small thank you. Wish you the best. Keep up the good work. PS. Try to clean your PM folder, because it seems it is full |

Excellent work, here are some issues I noticed so far. They are all issues with either the installer or the games themselves.
The installer does not seem to multitask at all (on Win8.1 at least), maybe it is boosting its priority. It asked an A/B question at the end but did not hear my response. Uridium 2 might be a bad crack? I must have failed the manual protection check at the end of level 3, as now it is just endlessly looping the bonus section, I assume that must be the punishment :-( Last edited by Minuous; 04 March 2018 at 23:16. |

Thank you very much, appreciated Though your kind words were enough in your feedback post. Exactly From memory (which can be hazy at times), you were one of the first 500 people that I just sent this to. You didn't need to donate; but because you did and appreciate the collection; it says a lot Me and the Amiga community that this will go to thank you. |
