oh yeah, play THAT card. it really takes up so much of your free time to type out 5 sentences and link back to a source page for more information. if you can't type out 2-5 news articles in under 20 minutes you are doing something wrong.

copying from another site is blatantly illegal. not all sites will copyright their content, not all sites will even care... while commonsense is apparently absent for most of the internet, we simply ask that isn't here.

we want original content. we wanted it 2 years ago. its only now that the level of plagiarism reached an all time high and some of the staff decided to start discussing it. the result of said discussions was to enforce the rule... don't copy/pate instead spend a few minutes summarizing your thoughts.

lets face it, it looks really bad when content is copy and pasted. it makes the poster look lazy and it reflects poorly on the quality of the site.

is the issue here that you feel its to much work for users to check a source link for a more in depth version of the story? do you feel that summarizing into your own words doesn't do the story justice?

yeah, the initial loading takes about 2 minutes on the PSP. at first it just sat there like it does in your video. i thought perhaps it was frozen, then it loaded. i've had other large mods take a bit to load and i've come to accept this as part of the modding process.

each stage also has a small loading time, but then they play through smoothly.

apparently the large file size is due to the audio. the audio folder is 401MB. some of the ogg files have a variable bit rates well over 400kbps. i just read a post where someone said they reencoded everything and got the mod down to 100 megs. i'm curious if this would also speed up load time.

i don't know if openbor could be optimized for the psp, if mods could be optimized differently, if there would be tricks that could be implemented, like waiting to load somethings while the long story plays? the mod is still actively discussed so perhaps the author will read some concerns and make an update or two.

one thing i would really like to see added to this mod, either by the developer or by a 3rd party, would be the inclusion of more special moves. the game feels pretty epic but the character's only have 3 special moves. this doesn't fit the feel of the game. the fighter can't run, the mage only knows 3 spells, etc. i'm not really that familiar with openbor development, but as i understand it new scrips would need to be implemented as well as new sprites developed. hopefully someone will start a project to update this mod by adding some of these missing fighting elements.

well, we hope! =)

it seems like they are real acekards being purchased indirectly and sold second hand with fake stickers on them. then again they could just be real acekards pressed from the same molds by a 3rd party who really doesn't have the right to get that done. either way, if it updates, if it works, if you are having fun with it, then just enjoy it!

@jimmyemunoz, the proof is in the emails. i had a very lengthy discussion with a team member who moonlights at the factory that produces the card. i've been in contact with similar people for the past 4 years. the information i gather was double checked more than once, so i know the names i was given are correct. i'm sorry but i can't reveal the sources or the names of those involved, because i was asked not to. i'll understand if you wish not to believe my statement.

that's on you for assuming while using your magical ability to read the "tone" from text. i typed to the point, posted what questions needed answering, and stated the reason why they were asked; IE: we need this info because no one can help you debug without it.

i'm actually the furthest form clueless. i've been beta testing akaio since v1.2. i talk to normmatt and smiths on a daily basis. i helped establish the rule set on akaio.net that you are quoting. i am the founder of #acekard on the gbatemp irc network. i wrote 85% of the akaio wiki. i own (more than 1) of each acekard released. i am the one who would have been the most help to you and you've just burned that bridge.

enjoy your brown rice, i'm done with this thread.
