Nice job not posting the other PM's I sent, man. And by the way, I'm going to give Iriez credit here for admitting that he is partially to blame (for giving access to the dir), and give credit to heinrich for stating that I'm "the person who I feel is most responsible for leak". As you say, it looks like many people are to blame, here.

My overall point here is that you're hyping this leak WAY too much. Everyone wanted the release, that's for certain. Someone just gave them all what they wanted. And if it was going to be released that day anyways (as you said in a PM to me, Iriez), then it was probably the same version or only minor changes. So what's the big deal? Someone just sped up the process. It's not like it's giving any of you a bad name, here. The emulator is a VERY good release and I applaud your efforts on it and your efforts to continually better the community. You may think that I prove this statement wrong myself, but sometimes you have to choose a lesser evil.

As for the previous PMs, I'm thinking about putting them up on my webspace for everyone to see, since you left out LOTS of information and discussion regarding the subject.

I'm telling you, all I need is a DC Emu and decent PSX compatibility and I'll never need another system for a good 20 years.

As for the leaker...... booooooooooooooooooooo! Can we DoS him or something?

Well, the problem is, it was 'mistakes' all along.  As Iriez said..
QUOTE
Normally such directories are restricted to specific groups, but unfortunately i missed a single letter in a conf, which made the dir visable to CLuis. If there are fingers to point, one can definitly be pointed at me.

While this is indeed a mistake, I have an account on the FTP, along with the xbins staff and most homebrew devs.  From the standpoint of running that FTP, if someone is given an account, then they should be able to be trusted not to abuse what they are given access too.  CLuis was not the only one who downloaded the emu, its just he made the severe mistake of sharing it with a buddy (DaRebel), who did the same to another (kestal/Valdek),  who the asked morfious to post it.  IMO, while all of the above people are somewhat to blame, I feel that most falls on kestal/Valdek because he INTENDED to share it with thousands of people.  Iriez is human, he made an error, CLuis made the mistake of abusing his privs on an FTP server and sharing what he had access to.
Fingers can be pointed all day long, and with the exception of Iriez, everyone will defend what they did.

1) Unlike commercial game devs, homebrew devs are not being paid for their hard work

wasnt there a contest that raised thousands of dollars for this emu

*was*
That contest is over, and the author(s) were paid.

I'm just trying to joke a bit, that's all. Everyone's a bit uptight about all this......

Hey OdD, if you're reading these posts, congrats on some great work. Please don't let all this have any affect on current and future projects.

BTW, has OdD responded to this publicly yet?

Heinrich  perfectly said. Tho that this is already happend it seems we cant do much now apart from waiting to see what will happen.

Afew post some 1 said that it was good 2 release and sees nothing wrong with a leak & cant see why it will kill the emu. I didnot say it will defenently kill the emu but looking back @ other emus Deadalusx64 was leaked & then died out. Its not all iriez fault but i think its probably everyones fault that did download it from the directory on xbins. With this said i kind of find this as my fault as well tho i didnot do anything wrong so if your about 2 blame iriez Just blame it on me but take this into consideration. Iriez has helped 10000's of newbies by setting up a ftp server that serves gigs of files daily.

it is an unfortunate thing that has happened....

but people need to stop banning and closing threads over it.. it has happened no matter by how much accicdent.. it is out there now and it has been posted to the newsgroups..

nothing that anyone does can change that, so i suggest moving into the future and stop living in the past.

The only accounts that have been banned over this are ones who spammed links to download the emu.  And obviously, no one is closing any threads now  blink.gif

It's not your place to release the emulator, dumbass.  You didn't do any of the developing.  So, if it was already going to be released the same day as you leaked it, as you stated, why the hell leak it then??  Seams to me you just wanted to be a prick, and gain some recognition for something you had nothing to do with; in programming the emu, that is.

Pathetic!

In reply to Foe-hammer:

I didn't know the emulator was going to be released THAT DAY, I just found out a little while ago when Iriez PM'd me.

And I'm undecided whether to post the original PMs that heinrich "forgot" to post, pending a reply from Iriez.

As some of you might know I am CLuis. I didnt mean to leak the emu on purpose. I had access to it on the XBINS FTP and thought that i could have it. So I took it and gave to a friend to test. He liked it and shared it among other ppl. They shared with other ppl and so on... We are all to blame.. even Iriez for giving me acces to that directory in the first place. and Iriez couldve realised that it was partially his fault b4 he started bitchin' like a woman and thinking that he is the dev of Surreal.

Nuff' Said. Period
