I don't really know if there's a particular emulator I can name, but he could always run a *nix emulator - X is based on Unix, ya know. ;) Then again, if all else fails, I'm sure there's some source somewhere that we could get to the guy...

Three words, and I'm reluctant to say them (we're over-litigious as it is): class-action lawsuit. I'm sure that the Ninth Circuit (you know, the one that ruled P2P services were legit in a remarkable retread of the Betamax decision) would NOT be amused by the recent actions of the MPAA bots (breaking and entering, felony trespass and eavesdropping on electronic devices). Also, I can guarantee you that kind of thing doesn't sit well with a lot of agencies - in particular the CIA and so on and so forth, THEY like to be the only ones spying. ;)

FODA, don't let him misunderstand me, I think it's a decent first run. It just needs a little improvement here and there, but overall - not bad. ;)

Oh [pretty flowers] yes, they're offering a mirror? If it's of ANY help whatsoever I'm sure any of us that has been leeching for a while would be glad to help upload (myself included). ;)

Okay then, I've got it working now - thanks for the help, Bisqwit! :) I think I understand why he made those deliberate pauses in movement. It seems to me that in some parts of the game, it's considered an easy kill to hit a certain enemy as they're "powering up." Additionally, it looks like some levels depend on certain elements being "on screen" in order for the player to access them. Beyond that, there are a couple sloppy points, but apparently a good effort overall for a first attempt in my book. I will vote once I finish watching it. :) EDIT: I've finished watching the video. I believe he makes the moves he does to avoid taking any hits, but I could be wrong. Neofix, we'd all appreciate a little clarification on that point! That being said, I'm loathe to recommend the production of ANY Genesis movie, but I think this one deserves it.

Thanks Bisqwit, that's actually where I was going with this. I look forward to saving some space for new files! :)

That's an interesting idea. What about a database in SQL as the backend to some sort of "user-defined update" client? My thought is that somebody can start seeding a file across BT from the client, but if it's listed on the site's obsolete list, it will ask if the user wants to update the video. If they say "yes" it will start downloading then seeding the new video; if they say "no" the seed aborts since the tracker is already rejected. Sound good? EDIT: Thank you for the welcome Blechy. My idea is more about getting rid of obsolete videos from *my personal server* but I think it could see further use with Trackers that are rejected for obsolescence. Also, it should be noted that I won't have the seeds up until probably Monday (getting everything in order on my end) but the server will be up between 00:00 and 07:00 PST (08:00 - 15:00 GMT) so it will see peak hours overseas on local hours offpeak. :)

Thank you for the links, but I already have the programs needed to handle all that. What I could *really* use is a list of the current and obsolete videos so that I may delete the obsolete videos on my hard drive to make room for the new ones. Thanks for your help! :)

I'm not really sure where this post should go, so I just slipped it into the off-topic area for future reference. Okay, so on to the meat of my statement. I've seen this site and leeched for quite some time now, and I am looking for a good way to give back to this community. For starters, I will be setting up after-hours Torrent seeds on my primary box. In order to do this, I will need some kind of list of all the current Torrents and any obsolete ones as well (I've been downloading Torrents from here since January or so and would like to dump obsolete videos in favor of new releases). Additionally, I would like to make it known that I have - or can make available on short order - any facilities necessary to handle part of the load involved in converting keypress files to fully-fledged videos (emulators and all which that entails, DECENT video capture programs, and so on). Bisqwit or whomever is in charge of video production, please let me know if I can be of service to you. Hopefully by chipping in my resources, I can help make this community even better for all of us. :)
