Thank you. I updated everything with the new release and the database was still there, no problems.
I wanted to ask you, Dark Akuma, if it could be possible to have something like a patreon, kofi etc. where we can donate and you could help us with some dtzs? I know everyone can do it, but not everyone has time, patience and the will to do it. So it could be great! Just a quick idea, because I really want to use some games wich updates have been frozen over.
I may have the patience, but I don't exactly have the time or will myself.
My time goes into CaVE itself. V1.0 and V2.0. And I have to focus on what is fun and interesting for me. And dtz work... lost that fun. More so when I know what task is ahead for getting some games to boot at all, and others to work better. It is a large investment of my time and energy into trial and error.
As you are aware, yes. This is something for others to contribute. I have gone to great lengths to list and document the dtz settings, and provide a guide of exactly what I do to find idle addresses. Specifically because, collectively its a monumental task, best divided up among those who are most interested in specific games.
I was badgered over and over about how I wasent sharing or giving to the community to let them contribute to the dtz efforts. But in reality... that is the entire point of all the info I provided. Figure out what does what, and how to do this and that... so everyone has access to the information to use it themselves.
I once considered setting up a patreon. I may have, and forgot. But realistically, I know my work is niche, and I couldn't hope for it to generate enough to dictate such direction of my time, or focus.
All I can say is. Never say never. I "might" get back around to working on N64 compatibility related things. I had a couple ideas. But for the most part, I'm focused on Sloop/Hiyoko at this very moment. And when thats done, I would likely return to CaVE 2.0. I'll keep N64 compatibility in mind, in case it happens to interest me one day soon. But I can't make any promises.
