Make the PB forums password protected so only we real people can read the content.

i second this.  and i can trust you won't make a damn Facebook page like Zeality did.  :eek:  (if it advertised the ROM hack, then it's as dumb as the "We are admitted and willful criminals, but we beg you not to sue us back to the Stone Age" note in the Readme.)

yeah, it seems odd..  if they actually destroyed their own local copies of the project (as opposed to just pretending), they're morons.  and why the hell would the patch authors put "ROM altering and modification is illegal..." right in their Readme?!  for one, i didn't think it was illegal.  secondly, they were basically allowing for their own undoing.


I really hate it when I'm late to a party and everyone's already laughing at some joke... basically, assassin said exactly my thoughts with this quote.  :isuck:

5/31/16 - I have an assembly of the battle portion of C2, relocated to the F0 bank, which has both vanilla and patch code in my dropbox. I'll be updating it with additional patches as I have time. I will *not* be releasing it publicly, but ask me for the link and I'll share.

As for Pandora's Box, maybe you guys should assume a lower profile and stop posting updates on Romhacking.net?

One poster there reacting to the CE news expressed concern over the precedent it could set for PB.  Also, torrents and P2P are your friends, when the day comes.
The project is followed by many more over there than here, so one more post to calm everyone down shouldn't hurt. Operative word "shouldn't." If nothing else, it'll help to get me off my ass and release another bugfix. :happy:

Well, I have no screenshots, so it wouldn't exactly work in the projects forum.

Quote from: #romhacking.net

Read somewhere there was doubt if the shut-down was real or not. Here's my gaming-news website reporting on it.

Meh, I have better things to do than dwell over a cancelled project. Like work on my own project.  :laugh:

from what I understand, one of their own board members ratted them out to SE and said they were going to charge for it. It's all good though, because they are putting up a video of the play through on youtube.

He didn't go into much detail, but it's near the end of the first post.
