Sorry Rick but there is a ton of piracy on TTS

bronze osprey
latent harness
#

i mean it helps the game companies though.

hexed sphinx
#

It’s been quietly accepted and there is official support developing but there’s still a ton of piracy, it’s not fair to completely not acknowledge it

latent harness
#

and most creators will take their stuff down if asked.

bronze osprey
#

Betrayal got a increase of income since the modding

hexed sphinx
#

Sure, I completely agree, but it’s dishonest to say that it wholecloth isn’t piracy

bronze osprey
#

Arkamhorror gained more fans then ever

latent harness
#

probably is partly.

#

but i think its helpful.

#

but IT does not replace playing in person.

bronze osprey
#

Even some abonded games got more love than the dusty box on a garage sale

gleaming saddle
#

There’s been a lot of games I’ve bought just from playing them on TTS. I can’t speak for everyone but it’s adding to a board game buying addiction I have had lol.

latent harness
#

correct.

#

i used to decide what to put in my store from testing mods out.

#

do any of you know to many bones?

hexed sphinx
#

Again, I completely agree that it’s a good thing! But there is still a duck load of piracy and to say that it isn’t, is just untrue

latent harness
#

i don't think its the same thing really.

bronze osprey
#

There is, but calling it a piracy tool is a belly stabbing under the belt

latent harness
#

cause it can't replace playing in person no matter what you do.

sinful pagoda
#

You can play any SEGA Genesis game through the workshop by branding it as a mod. It is piracy, but many people will still just buy the available games.

bronze osprey
latent harness
#

i forgot about the sega genesis mod thing.

#

since its just a glorified emulator.

bronze osprey
latent harness
#

i did a paper on it.

bronze osprey
#

But overal some mods are bad indeed, same as members and thoughgs

sinful pagoda
#

No Sega Genesis game is in the Public Domain. It is just Abandonware.

latent harness
#

the whole emulation thing is a grey area.

sinful pagoda
#

If rights holders really wanted to, they could take Sega to court over it.

#

But they won't since all the roms are forever online anyways.

bronze osprey
#

Most right holders arent disney

#

nor nintendo

sinful pagoda
#

That's not the point.

bronze osprey
#

Let me say this

#

if the majors do not file an dmca case, who are we to be slandering it

latent harness
#

anyways. i like games. and playing the mods has helped me get new games.

#

or sell games. ect.

sinful pagoda
#

All I'm saying is that the piracy isn't actually a big deal. Most people, including the people in the discussion, bought most of their games.

bronze osprey
#

You should know that Sega is gaining PR by "hackers" so much that Sega is still on their legs publising games

latent harness
#

it never has been.

#

but probably is technically piracy.

bronze osprey
#

it is if the major is complainimg

#

Like nintendo does

#

they C&D when they see yoi

latent harness
#

i think most companies will ask mod creators to take it down.

#

or embrace it like level 99 games has.

bronze osprey
#

Some games even got in game links to the 999 games

#

endorcing it

latent harness
#

i think the big one that i enjoyed that got dmca'd was the castlevania game.

bronze osprey
#

I missed that

latent harness
#

it was basically a roll and move rpg fan game.

#

really well done.

bronze osprey
#

I am still waiting for a Pain Doctor, legendary game but even the 1 and only mod is not complete

latent harness
#

but knoami was like no.

#

which i can understand.

sinful pagoda
#

The only game I'll say I've "pirated" was that really amazing P.T. recreation using the PS4 source code that was C&D'ed

latent harness
#

because that is not available anymore. right?

bronze osprey
#

PT?

sinful pagoda
#

Exactly.

latent harness
#

it was the super spooky spook demo

bronze osprey
#

Some games gone into the void and never been republished again

latent harness
#

thats actually why roms and emulators are important.

sinful pagoda
#

Every other game I've pirated as a youth, I eventually ended up buying for a couple bucks. Though I don't consider emulation to be piracy since those games are almost never sold again.

bronze osprey
#

There are even majors who lost their source code 🤣

latent harness
#

yeee.

#

wasn't one of the final fantasy's lost or something?

bronze osprey
#

and even brought mod made games to reconstruced the main

bronze osprey
latent harness
#

i don't know about you guys.

#

but i like games.

#

😄

sinful pagoda
#

All Square Enix games prior to KH2 had their souce code lost.

latent harness
#

board and video games.

#

give me them.

bronze osprey
sinful pagoda
#

Or in such a state that it couldn't be compiled perfectly.

bronze osprey
#

😂 i hate games, don't you see

latent harness
#

kunio mother fucking soccer

bronze osprey
latent harness
#

i have the kunio collection on my switch.

#

oh yeah that was the english version

bronze osprey
#

Kunio had more graphical updatws

latent harness
#

kunio games are fucking bonkers.

bronze osprey
#

🤣 and more chaotic gaming

#

i still need to play Kunios

latent harness
#

i want an update on the sports games to come out with modern graphics.

bronze osprey
#

friend and i are Nestopia'ing this EU version or USA version

latent harness
#

@sinful pagoda what is a favorite of yours recently?

sinful pagoda
latent harness
#

fuck yeah.

bronze osprey
#

oh by

#

booy

#

haha its not a modded switch

latent harness
#

how is it my dude?

sinful pagoda
#

Very, very good

latent harness
#

i thought the time of the game was short from ooking at how long it is. but it seems similiar to others.

#

and its a sequel to fushion, right?

sinful pagoda
#

It is, yeah

bronze osprey
#

We need a permanent retrochannel

#

^^

latent harness
#

i adore retro games.

sinful pagoda
#

I collect Revision 0 versions of games. Just yesterday, I got a 1.0 copy of Majora's Mask [NTSC-J]

latent harness
#

oh shit.

#

that's super cool!!!

sinful pagoda
#

Yeah, and tomorrow I should be getting the first two Silent Hill games.

latent harness
#

i believe those are the good ones.

#

up to like 3.

sinful pagoda
#

I hear 4 is the last good one since it was the last one made by the original team, it's just different in a way that turned off longtime fans.

bronze osprey

#

On the backs of all Nintendo catridges, there is a number. If that number is followed by the letter A it's 1.1. If it's followed by B, it's 1.2. And so on.

latent harness
#

what does revision 0 mean, like when they first come out?

sinful pagoda
#

If there's no letter, it's 1.0

latent harness
#

so you are looking for 1.0?

sinful pagoda
#

Exactly.

latent harness
#

that explains the roms.

sinful pagoda
#

Rev 1 is 1.1, and Rev 2 is 1.2

#

Rev 0 is the original release version.

latent harness
#

how much difference is there usually?

bronze osprey
#

it 4 am fuck

latent harness
#

im sure it depends on the game.

bronze osprey
#

i love the OG Ocarina of time but its "banned"

sinful pagoda
#

Depends on the game, Ocarina of Time has a few exclusive glitches on 1.0, and Majora's Mask has some weird oddities, like some cutscenes being in the wrong version.

#

Banned where?

bronze osprey
latent harness
#

anyways guys, im off to bed.

#

you all have a good night.

bronze osprey
#

me zzzz too we keep in touch

latent harness
#

keep up that awesome collection my dude @sinful pagoda

#

yeee

bronze osprey
#

thank for the positifity

latent harness
#

i try.

sinful pagoda
#

I will! Still think Rick said some dumb things today in the actual discussion chat, but you don't seem like bad people at all. Have a good night

latent harness
#

tensions are high.

#

this is probably more extreme then it needs to be from both sides.

#

and people are probably saying things with high emotions.

#

i don't think these last 48+ hours is a good indicator of how people actually are.

#

i probably said some dumb things myself.

bronze osprey
#

🤣 my ptss keeps triggering there tbh

#

it litterlybkeeps me awake

latent harness
#

oh my god go to bed.

sinful pagoda
#

Fair enough, I'm a very opinionated person though. So even if not everybody is being cordial, I'm still going to support the people I care about. This gaming chat is good though.

bronze osprey
#

4:19 am

latent harness
#

i agree completely my friend.

#

as you should.

bronze osprey
latent harness
#

and i commend you completely for that.

#

bronze osprey
#

#

sinful pagoda
#

I'd run Ocarina of Time if I was any good at it. I can't even WESS on N64.

bronze osprey
latent harness
#

sinful pagoda
#

Absolutely, his videos are the bomb.

latent harness

Alright, I joined it. I'm probably not going to be super active, going to call it here.

latent harness
#
