-fixed graphical bug in Final Fantasy 4 Advance (0x004/0x005)

OMG! ARE YOU SERIOUS! NINTENDO THEMSELVES COULDN'T EVEN FIX THAT BUG ON THE REAL HARDWARE!!!!!!

-_- get a clue before posting your shitty warez you dumb fags, theres no way for you to fix an intricate timing issue that exists within the actual hardwre.

[mudlord]

One could say this is the best form of flattery.

But again, my appeals for sensibility fell on deaf ears. And the source code is not released either. One who is trustworthy has nothing to hide, as one says.........

Alright.. keep the politics OFF this forum. If Lefty wants to blacklist it that's his call to make, because this is just a content forum. This is EZ's sandbox and we don't need other peoples arguments in it.

If someone has a problem with a project, fine post your objection, link to references and don't respond to flames, just say your piece and move on.

Intelligent people will make their decisions, and if someone is stupid enough not to care what they download, that's their own fault. The community will correct itself as it always does.

But we are not here to babysit you guys every time a new post about a release is made.

[Squall Leonhart]

Not to be rude, but the same can be said about Intelligent site administration not tolerating releases that are made without the source code when the project happens to be licensed under gpl.

There is no project here, VBA-Cloud is not a project, its a blatant Rip and resource hack of the work that we of the VBA-M team have put forth. The VBA-Cloud releases entirely disappeared for the months where we included a protection which prevented the application from running if any part of it was modified, it was only removed to allow fresh blood to take up the code and work on it.

This troll, maxcv (also known as laterz and skynet), has been noted on record to be going to changing the licensing of VBA, which had he either the source, or a clue, he would know that any piece of gpl'ed code can only be used in an equally gpl'ed project otherwise its code stealing.

Like hell you aren't. If you allow dodgy applications to be linked from your site or forum, then you are as equally to blame in their distribution as those who posted it in the first place. Pirate bay Trial anyone?

Anyhow, for the record these releases have already been discredited in the last vba-cloud thread on here with the patch mudlord provided which turns VBA-M into VBA-Cloud. and here.

No,

Instead of bitching about site admins, go talk to the devs and encourage them to ASK us to take it down. Don't come on with a bad attitude and then insult us because we don't want to put up with constant whining in every release thread.

close source GPL forks are not unheard of, but frankly I'm not qualified to comment on whether or not its legal or illegal. If its a legal issue then don't come cry on a forum, have the original project's team e-mail a cease and desist to have the links taken down, stating why and citing legalities.


It's THAT simple. less fucking drama

The only thing this thread is demonstrating, is how to incorrectly accomplish a simple goal. As Zach said "It's THAT simple". I do appreciate the laughs at your expense, so, it does add to the entertainment value.

[mudlord]

I am saying this once, I am not going to argue any more, and I refuse to take sides.

That said.....

That is not going to happen. The "developer" is a troll. So, its useless asking. I don't have a bad attitude about it since it honestly makes me lul inside at why I am wasting time so people can just steal and commit GPL violations. So, if they are the death of a project, fine. There's plenty more things I can waste years on.......


but frankly I'm not qualified to comment on whether or not its legal or illegal.

It is clearly against the GPL terms. The GPL however, has never been tested in court and hasn't been tested to be legally binding, so its not a clear case.
So, while legally they can do what the heck they want for the time being, morally its a completely different case. Since the people lack morals however, thats a non issue to them, as its clear they are doing it for luls at someone else's expense.

Indeed. Site ops are impartial, let the end users decide. Let news posters not give a shit about quality posts, and instead post whatever the hell they want.

Sorts itself out, in the end. :)

Indeed, and bolder, more ludicrous claims can be made by maxcv, for more lols. I am still waiting on the compressor. Why don't I give you private programming tutorials. Then you can gain more skill with these awesome builds.

WE ARE THE DEVS OF VBA-M.
WE ARE HERE NOW SAYING THIS IS A RIP OF OUR WORK.

Seriously, am i going to have to get Nach to sign up here to educate the pathetic staffing here.

Site admins, appoint better mods, you're current ones suck ass.

Mud I don't really have much of a problem with you, because you at least, don't appear to have some kind of hyperactivity disorder.

Squall, if you're the dev then you are not setting a good example. And you continue to insult the staff here to boot.

Has it ever crossed your mind, that you are being treated like a child, because you are acting like one? It seem like every other sentence from you contains a string of curse words as if you somehow magically get your point across with them. New flash: it doesn't do you any favors.

Damn right we are impartial here, this is a content submission forum and anyone can post here freely. If you had shown up and made a proper post clearly identifying yourself(s) as the developers and stated you were being ripped off, with a few reference posts to other debates containing evidence this would have been handled a lot differently.

As it stands now, I've done some reading on the GPL and the guy is clearly breaching it by not releasing the source code - but right now that is the ONLY thing this person is doing wrong, and I don't want to see anyone in the future come onto this forum and continue to complain if this person starts making future releases and actually does release the source code along with his project. Because that is the only weight you are carrying right now.

Frankly I've had enough of this shit.. EZ has been a member of the emulator community since very early on, and I don't care what group you're affiliated with, you don't come onto the forum being an ASSHOLE because people don't immediately cater to your every whim. Much less insult the site staff IN a post report . We don't spend our lives on the Internet 24/7 and we do this for free, and we have little tolerance for people acting like little kids no matter how important they think they are.

Yet despite all that, you continue to act unprofessional and hurl insults, all the while wondering why nothing is done. Maybe you should have let Mud handle this because you clearly don't have a lot of experience dealing with people.

I'm removing the links NOT to reward you, but because it is the right thing to do. But don't you dare think I won't ban you in the future if you continue to show up acting like an ass.

It's really sad.. All you had to do was "Hey EZ, we are the developers of VBA-M and this guy is ripping off our work! He hasn't released any of the source code for his files based off our work, which is covered under GPL license, and he is claiming to have fixed things that are not true, as demonstrated here (link), can you please remove these posts and ignore future submissions from this guy?"

Damn that was so hard.

I see you tried to do that in the thread further down, but that is no excuse for the post report you made or the subsequent attacks on staff here. So by your own doing, you focused my attention not on what was going on, but the fact you were acting like an ass. You are on thin ice, period. Be professional, or get out.

[Lefteris_D]

The original Visual Boy Advance was released under the GPL license and therefore any clones of that project need to be released under the same rules.

If there is a problem with the people behind VisualBoyAdvance-Cloud regarding not honoring the GPL there are proper ways to handle it that do not include slandering in forums. Talk to them and ask them to release the source code as they are required by the GPL.

We will allow no further posts here VisualBoyAdvance-Cloud here and further slandering towards any people of the two parties will be handled with bans.
