You changed the quote. The "if they existed, they'd be on here" is placed as
follows:
Any questions, comments, suggestions, donations, provocations, and
speculations go to
typhoonz@parodius.com! I will not answer mail concerning the
locations of pirated software. Furthermore, I have provided an Emulation
Starters Guide, and a ROM site list that should prove useful if you have
questions concerning this. I will also NOT answer email about
Intellivision, or other emulators (especially for 32 and 64 bit systems.
Trust me, if they existed, they'd be on here). Finally, I will not answer
mail on backup units or copiers. I do not support copiers, and do not own
any. |
That is unedited and from my site. The "Trust me" line is in the parenthesis
referring to Playstation, Saturn, Jaguar, and Nintendo 64 emulators. I
mentioned that Intellivision emulators do not exist, because I cannot answer
email about them since I have no knowledge of anyone working with it -- well,
actually, yesterday, Frogger (who is mentioned quite a bit below this)
mentioned that he WANTS to make one, but has no documentation on the actual
system.
>calculators, Atari ST, Amstrad CPC, (and a plethora of other systems)
Those emulators are not hidden... they are pending. There is only so much
one person. I'm interested in content more than files, and having a hard
time keeping my site up to date with news as it is. I am most likely to add
a C64, then an Apple II page since there is demand for them. If you'd like,
I will add to the bottom that future pages will be added, but as far as I'm
concerned, it only prompts more and more emails from people who want the
things NOW. I can't cater to people individually in large numbers.

Damaged Cybernetics doesn't have any emulators. Individual members do
though. Note Virtual SuperMagicom, qNES, LandyNES, Aster (Not an emulator),
NESiMAGE (Not an emulator), and SNES '97 are all affiliated with DC. The
System 16 emulator was the only real CC emulator, but it was never
affiliated. VCS2600 came out before it was affiliated with CC, so that
doesn't count. Kyoto never came out =)... The source to SNES '97 is
available to anyone who needs it. Its really the author's discretion. DC
doesn't have any rights to our member's individual projects remember. When
Haruki "joined" CC, he told me that he was just added because he was a #Emu
frequenter on Fefnet. This might not be true, but it IS what he told me,
since I had offered him the support of Damaged Cybernetics and he was to
join. It was his choice though.

Actually, Mr. Snazz got 3500 ops a second on VeNES, and Y0SHi has been
giving out all of the help he can to Landy, The Brain, Marat Fayzullan
(and don't even try to gripe at him... he's done the emulation scene a world
of good, and people expect him to cater to their every needs... he's also
free to decide). Read the qNES web site...
qNES is going at over 30,000 last time I checked.. but I'm not sure
anymore... no specs have been released that aren't on his site. After
finding out about VSMC, The Teacher offered his services to DC, so --
SNES '97 is from a DC member, as is its Linux port where the Mode 7 for
ESNES and SNES '97 came from. Don't make it sound like I don't know what
I'm talking about. I know perfectly well what CC released and what DC
members released. DC is not a warez group, its an organization of
independants... if you ever collected comics, compare to to Image and
marvel... if you like computers, compare to to IBM and Mac... Mac had more
control, IBM let people do as they wished.

Insulting one's appearance in a letter is very mature eh?

>fuck he is now? (a pirater that nobody likes?)
TZ actually only has about 60 SNES ROMs and 7 NES ROMs =)... its the
truth... my damned D: went on an adventure. On UseNet, I managed to get
many people from spamming comp.emulators.misc, and took them to a better
newsgroup. I posted some binaries, and after I saw that the group
caught on, I withdrew. The reason that I am "what I am now" is that I
sat down, saw that there were no pages that really covered the scene
(and this was before Node 99), and applied my time for the benefit of all.
And for your information, go to #Emu, and ask people if they like me. Demi
doesn't really, and there are a few that might not, but many do, and its not
for my page. I sit down and talk. #Emu is not a warezing channel as my
automessage states (it even tells people to visit #EmuROMs if they want to
solicit ROMs).

>progress.
If I am, I wouldn't post things on my site at the request of Tandrum,
Y0SHi, and others that email me the information. I give credit where
due. See the bottom of Versus... it has the name of the person
(Scantify) who suggested the page. I put up the responses to the Console
Cable incident. I'm not a close minded person, and thats what Archaic
Ruins is about. The most unprejudiced look at the emulation scene as
possible, and sometimes its hard to do this, but I try my best.
>I hope you realize that catering to lamers with an out of date, biased,

I'm catering to anyone who wants to see my page. My page is only out of
date when it comes to Gameboy (VGB DOS v0.8.4) and the Arcade (Horribly
out of date), and there are 2 good reasons:
1) Lack of time. I do have a life now (As opposed to when I lived in
Maryland)
2) The sections aren't being updated till their new format.
I sincerely hope that you email Sean Whalen at Node 99 and tell him how he is
thinking he runs the emulation scene since he also gives an equal effort.
While we are competition (Node 99 and AR), I still respect his dedication to
the emulation scene, and realize that unlike myself, he lacks in site space,
so his page is somewhat crippled. I'm doing the best that one person can do.
This is the first email I've received complaining, and I find it without any
grounds whatsoever. I have email so that the site can change and suit the
users needs. I changed the format so that I could let users go to the actual
homepages of the respective emulators so that they could see what the author
himself intends them to as well as my site.
My personal page as mentioned earlier is none of your concern. Its placed
there for the sheer amusement. There is even a paragraph mocking the b&w
pictures, as I myself think are quite ugly. Even if I was an ugly person
(which I will say that I'm not, I'm average, and well... I was average with a
shaved head a while back), it has absolutely nothing to do with my
personality, and what I am doing on Archaic Ruins. There is a reason that
I've moved my personal page from the front page to a sub page, its because
more people want to see Archaic Ruins than a personal page. Many people who
frequent are curious about me however, and I'd like to let them loosen up. I
get emails from people praising my work, being completely polite, and acting
as if I am a genious. I have never even attempted to code an emulator, dear
God! I'm but 15 years old, (don't even mention Letoram's efforts -- that
kid is quite sharp!) and I'm doing the best that I can. My personal page is
there to show people that I'm not a God, and that I'm a down to earth person
who has chosen to employ his time on his site.

Your name made it to my site, and if you'd like, people can email you their
thoughts. An attack on my site like this relates to the government, its
intended to be something very good, and there are those people that because
of all its shortcomings see it as complete evil, and something that cannot
be improved. The government can never be turned into a right and honest
operation, but with reason, it does more good than it does bad.
Thanks for your time, I hope that I've cleared up what you wished to ask.
