Player detection for sidplay...
Hmmm, shouldn't it possible to include a kind of player detection in sidplay?
Plus a detection of the speed? (2x, 3x,...8x...)

I see no point in rebuilding his driver at all (I take it you mean to sound exactly the same). I made my own driver about 4-5 months after I started experimenting with Rob's, because I found that using his was unoriginal and uninspireing - and most importantly: it wasn't my own driver, so part of my music would always sounded part Rob.
Using his driver was a challenge, not only musically, but technically. I did not reverse engineer his routines, but deducted the works of the data structure and learned a great deal (That's called: hands-on learning, btw.!). That was a lot of fun. All that YOU see is that I and other people STOLE someones software only to misuse it, and that's that.. That's not the intire picture and it's a pitty you can't see that investigating and refering to other peoples work, hands-on or not, is the way that pretty much most development is and gets done. If every generation of people had to start from scrach because noone was allowed to have a look at and try other peoples work, we'd get nowhere. I would admit, any day of the year, that the Rob Hubbard driver expirience tought me a great deal in many aspects of music and coding, noone ever tought me how to code, compose or play music, and I'm actually proud of that, the Rob Hubbard driver thing was step one in that process.
Actually, Rob Hubbard animated and tought a lot of people a lot about music and especially about driver coding in the past, which is probably the greates accomplishment of them all. I for one wish everybody had misused my driver to learn and get better. THAT would make me very proud. It's not worth any money, but boy - is that an achievement worth mentioning.
Anyway, enough battering - there's no point to it. You stand with your views and I must admit that you didn't convince of changing mine - so I'm stuck with them. Oh dear ;)
I find you views relevant and often quite interesting, but your tone, my friend, is way over the top sometimes. |

@creamd,
Either everyone tries accept my attitude or not!
It's your problem if YOU can't forgive me.
(Btw. Yes, I have understood your PM, but anyway...)
@laxity
I have already stated that I have used too harsh words to judge you. I'm really sorry for that.

Indeed you had. It's funny how you write "...too harsh words to judge you.".. I'm not sure it's your privilige to judge me at all, not matter what words you choose. Let's just say it's lost in translation, and leave it here, shall we?

Someone doing covers of tunes he likes blaming others for doing covers of code they like. Isn't that an illegal copy of the story about the pot calling the kettle black? |

Some appalling cockiness, Nata... Technological development is purposeful cumulation of creative contributions. Claiming differently is simple glorification. Genius inventors like Tesla and Faraday are extremely rare, and the probability you are one of them is close to the reciprocal of the constant of Avogadro. |

I assume sceners should also have purchased the Yie Ar Kung Fu font from Ocean (and other respective pieces of ripped art, from respective owners) so that those could have made even more money. :) |

Nata: Did you clear the rights for those Mario and Zelda 'covers' you did, btw? Did you ask Matt Gray whether or not you're allowed to use his Last Ninja II composition? Or Ben Daglish for that Last Ninja Jam? Are the rights for Bonanza.sid cleared? Imagine the loss of money, I was just about to buy the original soundtrack.
