In Topic: Diablo 3 Accounts Being Hacked

I fail to see why Blizzard isn't getting hell for this. I may not play Diablo III, but I do know that if this were to happen with any console, Nintendo/Microsoft/Sony would be taking it up the ass for this. Why should a computer be any different?

Because Blizzard is the second coming of Christ or something. People will put up with the excessive and intrusive DRM, the horribly broken launch that prevents paying customers from playing, and the accounts being hacked en masse less than a week after release, because in the eyes of the average Blizzard customer, they can do no wrong.

Seriously though, why is it that if EA sneezes the wrong way people throw a hissyfit, but if Blizzard has a whole week of problems nobody minds? I simply don't get it.

If I remember correctly, I'm sure there's a member from the FF7 PC hacking site qhimm who was looking into recreating the FF7 Nes engine. Not sure if they're still working on it though.
Anyways, reworking the battles on this game would just top it off for me :D

Same project. halkun's contribution can be seen in that thread, though he hasn't logged in there in nearly a year, so he may have dropped out of it.

Hmm... Abandonware might not be the best idea, since a lot of it is still technically under copyright in a lot of countries.

Also, I see SimCity 2000 on here. Is this the Win95 version that has issues with the installer and the save/load dialogue on Win7x64 (and possibly other systems)? I found a patch for the save, and am working on a new installer that I may be able to upload with the exe pre-patched.

This is even worse than a movie tie-in. This is a generic turd shovelware trying to trick you into thinking it's a movie tie-in.

The same low-level style of emulation that makes genuinely perfect accuracy possible also bumps up the requirements pretty significantly. No chance it'll ever get ported to Wii, and very slim chance it'll get ported to PS3 if someone wants to go to the effort of threading the whole thing.
