tep392 Posted June 18, 2013 Share Posted June 18, 2013 So he is officially trying to profit off of your work now? I don't know. I only saw him post complaints about bugs that no one else seems to be experiencing. If the ROM does get out, I'll be able to tell who it was originally sold to.

tep392 Posted June 18, 2013 Share Posted June 18, 2013 For the record, only 5 people have received a venture cart and that was an early version that had a LOT of bugs. The only reason it was released is because of a mis-communication with Video 61. Tep392 is correct. I'm not a coder. I'm the sound, graphics and the project director on almost all the games we do. Hey Sal, Did you ever releases the source code for your update to the 8bit computers Donkey Kong? I ask because a while back, Fernando, before he was banned, asked me if I would convert it for the 5200. I said no because it was not mine. He said it was released to the public domain and even sent me the source files for it. I don't recall seeing you post the files. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nerf Herder73 Posted June 18, 2013 Share Posted June 18, 2013 (edited) I'm glad you were willing to sell the rom.. I wish more homebrew authors would. Lots of CV games, one being Pac-Man collection I would love to purchase that rom... I believe that you will find that a PMC ROM was released by Opcode last year right here on AtariAge in celebration of 300 carts sold. http://atariage.com/...00#entry2613176 Edited June 18, 2013 by Nerf Herder73 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greg2600 Posted June 19, 2013 Share Posted June 19, 2013 Well, Fernando is a tool, but wherever he is, thanks to Fandal for converting those 8-bit games. Pitstop, Hyperblast, Juno First all fun. Missile Command with Trak-Ball is the most fun! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+Cafeman Posted June 19, 2013 Share Posted June 19, 2013 What was the update (to 8bit DK) ? It was pretty much perfect as-is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sqoon Posted June 24, 2013 Share Posted June 24, 2013 If he is selling Fandal's work, then why is Fandal not protesting a bit? He is offering original games over there now that I have not seen before on the 5200 super system. If Fandal is giving these away for free, why do these games show up as XE/XL versions on his site then? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Someone should give him a hollar to fill out the questionnaire. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sqoon Posted June 24, 2013 Share Posted June 24, 2013 Valid points, but it does point to Fernando/Sergio actually doing some conversion work on these. Fandal has not converted these, at least from looking at his site, so someone has to have converted these games to 5200. Maybe Fernando/Sergio has some programming expertise after all?

I had mentioned this. We have been shown zero proof that these conversions were done by Fandal, and the same amount of proof that it was someone other than Sergio. Anyone who says differently is either assuming, or knows something they're not sharing. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sqoon Posted July 15, 2013 Share Posted July 15, 2013 I still don't get the big deal. Has evidence ever been presented that he is stealing others' code and selling it as his own? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tep392 Posted July 15, 2013 Share Posted July 15, 2013 I don't recall any claims he was stealing these conversions. Just that someone else was doing, at least some of them, for him. He is really only guilty of being an a$$ for not giving proper credit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
