So it's going to be released to the public? Not just to those who donated?
That's what the man said.
Right the plan was to release games for archival purposes so they will not be lost in time. Having only a relative handful with access to it hardly makes anything impervious to loss.
I believe ASSEMbler covered all of this in another thread in here.

Ah okay. That seems fair. Can't wait for it. :D

Yeah so even those who are so poor that they cannot afford $5.60 will get access to it in the end.
Of course, being so poor they're unlikely to be able to afford the electricity that their Saturn and TV/PC and emulator will require in order to play the demo, right Wolfrider? =)
Of course, exactly how someone so poor has a house, PC, internet connection and enough food in their fridge to stay alive is anyone's guess.

This week or so :oh: , great stuff!
Could I just ask how this will be distributed? I see you've put the decent vid you made up on a torrent. Will the release to auction people go the same way or will there also be a rapidshare link (or some such link) as with the pippin file you have put up?
I only ask as from a selfish point of view a link to a hosting site, as opposed to a torrent, would be good for me.. I have no torrent software, don't know anything about it, wouldn't know what to do (I'd always thought torrent stuff was used for/by peeps wanting to get copies of current gen games, tv shows etc (?), so I've always steered clear)
I suppose ultimately it doesn't really matter if it only goes on a torrent style release...I could just get a friend to send me a copy after the 4th July public release...but then again a month wait could do me in!
Wheelaa, I think Kevin said originally that there would be an email sent out to those who paid through Paypal containing a link.
Not sure if that's still the plan though.
You can download a simple torrent client like uTorrent (http://www.utorrent.com) if you only want to use it to download this image file.
torrents are just for file distribution.
One person seeds it, then every person who downloads it
adds to the speed.
Say 50 people download, it would be throretically
50x faster than downloading it from one person.
It's a private torrent server so you'll need a client like
etorrent. Then all you need to do is limit the upstream in
the options if you are in a upstream restricted area.
I have to limit mine to 20k to avoid getting "capped"
We're waiting on ten people to send donations and then I can
seed it right away.
Ok cheers for the info. I'll be honest I don't really understand a word lol but I'll figure it out. Guess I'll get this etorrent and see whats what. Cheers!
Kev? you have a PM...

Sounds great :D
I've got a 75kbyte upload I'm willing to whore out for a while. AT&T doesn't cap customers.
That's an unfair assumption. I hate to burst your bubble, but not everyone here is financially independent. There are members here who are students and still live with their parents and who don't make any money. So even if they wanted to give, they really couldn't.
I've donated to this site before, and I would gladly have done it again IF I HAD THE MEANS TO. However, sadly, right now I don't. I'm in college, I just finished my second year, and I'm home for the summer. My last bits of money went to pay for the summer classes I'm taking. I currently don't have a job, and my parents are kind enough to support me while I'm struggling to get through school.
To you $5.60 may not seem like much, but to me that's a nice little chunk of change. I don't appreciate you making light of my or anyone else's situation. You never know what people could be going through at the moment. I'm glad you and other people donated and made this possible. That's great. But just because you donated, that doesn't make you a better member than someone who didn't, but that seems to be what you think, or at least that's the message your post conveys. Funny, weren't you complaining about the "elitist attitude" coming from established members the other day?
i didn't think that 5$ could make such a big difference for someone on the forum... i just tought that it is the price of an icecream or a beer. everybody can save 5$ that way.
anyway my apologizes to all the people in such drammatic problems that i might have offended.

I can only agree, I really do not have anything at all, if anything I'm in the red I owe the bank £65 and have other debts, with no income how can I make a paypal payment? Thankfully my parents let me use some of the excess money in their account.
You have no right to ever make any presumptions about individual circumstance.
I <3 torrents. :D
