It's incredible, but even on a community so small as ours, people don't respect others work.

Today I just found my conversion "Tutankham" on geocities. And it's not the demo version!!!!!

For those that dont know about it, I converted this game - from scratch, and I haven't used Pascal or any other dummy language, I converted it purely on ASSEMBLY!. I started selling it on November 2008. There's even an youtube video so people can see it before buying...

So now, one of the 0 (zero) people who bought it is distributing it (and I was stupid enough not to include a sequential number for each sell), even if I'm still selling it online at msx história - for a very reasonable and low price;

You see, those games sales is what helps to pay for my FOOD! Is what makes me ALIVE (and you can bet it's a lot of food) Money I get from my MSX games motivates me to do much, much more! Crying

I didn't even included any sort of copy protection, first because I don't know how to do that and second because I trusted this community, and thought it that ONLY MONEY IN MY POCKET can sustain the MSX scene growth. Crying

This is the last straw for me. I don't think I will be making anything MSX-related for the time being - I'm tired of all of this. There are very good and nice people on the comunity, but they are being driven apart by others.

I'm sorry to rant like this, but right now I'm very upset about this. VERY VERY VERY! Crying

I'll leave FOREVER, I'll throw my Turbo-R at the trashcan, along with all my original MSX games...
I'll also DELETE this brand new conversion I was working today:

You see, that you can even hear the correct jump sound at the opening sequence! but...
that ROM will NEVER! NEVER! NEVER! see the sunlight...

that's it, I'm tired.

This is a shame. Good luck, muffie.

BTW, Montezuma's Revenge was already ported by Icon Games, and distributed in cartridge format (I bought one last year). Check this linky for more info.

uhm, I'm not sure whether I follow:

Rumors have it that after a brief period of time, the ROM file will be freely available for download!

This was from the newspost, so you knew it was going to be freely available, right? Was there a time indication given? Is it now too soon? Note: we have a submitted newspost about this in the queue, but I want to first find out about all this.

That's a bit of the problem here with me: I don't know all you people (yet), so it's a bit hard for me to see what exactly happens.. Hannibal

Sorry to hear that..

Better to sell that to get some more money for food..

I don't get it?? The game is not yet sold to someone but it is already found as an illegal download??

So.. did you give the full game to testers? It should probably be a small group of people who can done this!!!

Explain please!

Well, the ROM is already online.
mtini will be posting a "new news" here tomorrow, to include the webpage. Still portuguese only!

Of course, because of this "geocities" thing, I created my fun "Lack of respect" post... it's on one of the forums!

Is it all a publicity stunt? Cool

Muffie,

I understand you are very upset now, but I will advice you to continue your good work. Smile

Most of us still admire and respect your work. Smile

And it is sure, that even if you haven´t given .ROM file to anyone, but just selling game as real cartridge without any ideas to put .ROM freely downloadable, someday someone probably would had broken into your cartridge and then either that same person or someone else would have put it online to somewhere.....

Probably almost every game in the world suffers same fate, so this is sadly not very exceptional.Crying

And even your Tutankham MSX port is already distributed in the net, it is SURE, that people WILL BUY Tutankham cartridges as soon as they are available!!!! Big smile

So, if you quit now, you lose your chances to easily make some money for your food.

I advice you just to continue, never minding for such people who don´t respect your work.

You are still respected by MOST OF US!!!!!!!! Smile

Just keep continuing your Good Work!!

We respect you!!

And we will buy your cartridges!! Smile

Just keep smiling and continue your Coleco porting mission!! Smile

And thanks already for your efforts,

MäSäXi Smile

He's just doing a cruel SLotman imitation, much less funny than the fact that you guys are taking it seriously Tongue
