What hackers think they are doing decompiling retro games: bothering the original developers/publisherdWhat they are actually doing: helping immortalize their work
>>12135824uhh noo I dont think they think that at all broseph
>>12135824is that what you actually think?
the fuck are you talking about?
op is a few cans short of a six pack
>>12135824>What hackers think they are doing decompiling retro games: bothering the original developers/publisherdYou're actually retarded.
>>12136009>>12136212>>12136225>>12136253Is this not the case? Everytime you see one of these decompilations happening you see people celebrating as if they defeated capitalism
>>12136398i'd change discords, kid
>>12136398>finished the puzzle>can port game to any system that is powerful enough>can mod the game easily in anyway you wantPretty sure they're mainly doing it for the fun and challenge, not to epically own nintendo or anyone else
Someone help me understand the sharp rise in retardation on this board the last 3-4 months. Have jannies given up?
>>12136542We lost our regular /vr/ mod after the hackSince then issues have started to pile up
>>12135824there is a bit of truth to what you say when it comes to zoomer decompers. if I had a dollar for every time a zoomer mocked some perfectly fine working code in a 30 year old video game for wasting a few bytes or some shit, always with that dumbass skull emoji, I'd have a handful of dollars.
>>12136542Before the ebin 4chan hack, we had a janitor who would mercilessly stomp on any frogpost on this board, and everybody respected his rule.After the hack, a lot of staff left. Now our board has been flung into a far future where troll's evil is law.
>>1213582480s 90s game dev hereseeing dicheads pirate my shit via emation on youtube and bitching to make engagement for scab money pisses me off massively to the point I'm thinking of taking a few to court for the rest of their lives, they are parasites
>>12136787why haven't you adapted to the times, old man?
>>12136612this board was notiously shit for years though it was an in joke in a lot of retro computing discords for being a piss stained nintendo marketing scamdoes anyone have one of those wierd old spammed posts abut zelda shitting on about 2d zelda being a metaphysical religious experiece with the crappy walls of pseud text? This board is way better now
>>12136398>Everytime you see one of these decompilations happening you see people celebrating as if they defeated capitalismOn which Earth did this occur?
>>12136790my laywer can adapt a couple of these youtube grifter scabs for me
>>12136793I don't collect pseud text in my memory, so no. I saw it, moved on, and developed my own perspective of good vidya discussion besides cringe outliers.
>>12136797fair but that was a lot of these board for years 15 zelda threads with walls of samefag chatgpt like shit in them
>>12136787shut up fag
>>12136398>you see people celebrating as if they defeated capitalismOh wow, you really are retarded.
>>12136787Okay, OP. You've defeated capitalism. Stupid f aggot.
>>12137362You don't need to self censor here anon, let it rip
>>12138959bloody benchod basterd your mother
>>12136398>Is this not the case? Everytime you see one of these decompilations happening you see people celebrating as if they defeated capitalismThat's because reversing video games is for the most part a surrogate activity for delusional men who have removed their genitals.
>>12135824Most of the time actual developers were grunts slaving away for a salary, they don't give a shit. Publishers are the problem, yes, they can fuck you up or just claim your decomp for themselves on the grounds of IP ownership.
>>12136793>it was an in joke in a lot of retro computing discordsYou need to go back, faggot.
>>12135824In some cases it's the only way to get something close to the source code since the original might be lost. Like the first Saints Row, we'll never get a decent port of that for this very reason.
