^That might be a good idea, but what I really think is, they should code the entire thing, then ask for, say, 500 dollars to pay the coders (the team) for the work, and then they'll do a public release.

The problem with having a price for every feature would be that the Team would no longer work as a Team.
Every programmer would work on it's own feature and no longer inform the others about the progres. I don't
think the major problem here is the funding of the project. It's more the level of difficulty of the project. A lot of the
source code is undocumented and hard to follow. So, it will take us a while to figure things out before we can start improving
things.
This doesn't mean that g0dlike shouldn't at least be refunded for his purchase price of the package.
While it's always nice to be rewarded for your work, it's not our major motivation factor.
Maybe other dev's feel different about this.

I see your point, but I didn't mean for developers to work without cooperation. I was more thinking in terms of priority. At this point I know the basics need to be worked out before anything else which would just be one item on the agenda, but even then it takes allot of time and effort to program. Even something simple like TicTacToe requires allot of time. (especially if you work outside the box like I did and program one with 10 thousand lines of code defining and overly complicated AI .lol) Since programmers could be using their time on other things I think it's fair that to assume that at the very least a project can potentially move along faster with financial support especially if people know how much faster it could go with support. When it goes beyond that stage I was thinking in terms of how everyone will request something and how a given team would be better off getting paid for those requests.
That kinda defeats the idea that donations would help progress move along, but holding hostage a completed product that someone wants I guess could work. lol
The idea of only releasing after some fund is gathered didn't work out very well for gianpune.
Team TT was working on the same thing and simply released while he was waiting, and now they get all the fame for it.
I don't know the exact details of what happend, so don't flame me for incorrect statements, just correct them.

I do not know the details either, but I somehow doubt that someone just develop another DML and release it... It is quite a bit more complicated than the letterbomb exploit. Guintpune also told he had found the exploit, so Team TT knew what to look for... If it is a good idea to get funding the suggested way I am not to judge.
I'm amassing my Gamecube collection and ripping them in anticipation. Expect a donation from me in a week or so when I get my paycheck. Which method is preferred? PayPal or Moneybookers? What is the goal? To reimburse the source buyout?
Really looking forward to this!

Keep up the good work guys 
If you need a wii to test out anything, give me a shout, I have preloader and a recent nand backup, so my wii can be fixed and you can use whatever you want on it, a 2 tb harddrive with 500 gigs put aside for my wii, and several large sd cards that i can use for test purposes. I am on almost all the time, so just send me a pm

I am on almost all the time, so just send me a pm I would help you, but i don't see much i could do. Only thing that comes to my mind is the Wind Waker dungeon map freeze, and that's fixed in 5 min if you look at NeoGamma's code for it. Although Swiss uses that code and manages to not get it to work...
About cross over projects. Since DML requires Sneek+DI, i expect that it just uses the same select game di command for gamecube games and wii games at the same time. NeoGamma already supports booting games from Sneek+DI with the game selection inside NeoGamma, so i think adding DML gamecube support would just take a few minutes. Well actually the only required change might be to not ignore gamecube titles...
Anyways, considerung that i spend weeks on NeoGamma's gamecube code, if somebody of your team has a question for me, ask.
Hey guys! I'm looking to join the project team. I have programmed in java specifically, but I should be able to learn C pretty quick.
Android os specifically. Know a little opengl. If you don't mind I'm taking this as a more learning based project. I'm not sure how much ill be able to do at the beginning. I haven't had console experience, but I can learn pretty quick
I don't have any coding experience but I have access to 3 different Wiis (1 launch white, 1 non-launch white, 1 red) for testing purposes. I would donate but I'm currently unemployed but I look forward to good things from this project. The dev roster is perfect and I think you guys will be able to succeed in making DM/DML a fully functional loader. I'm definitely holding out on getting a WODE to see what you guys can come up with.
Best of luck!
Best of luck!

TwoSpikedHands:
yall im torn... ive been hacking away at tales of phantasia GBA (the USA version) and have so many documents of reverse engineering i've done -
@
TwoSpikedHands:
I just found out that the EU version is better in literally every way, better sound quality, better lighting, and there's even a patch someone made to make the text look nicer
-
@
TwoSpikedHands:
Do I restart now using what i've learned on the EU version since it's a better overall experience? or do I continue with the US version since that is what ive been using, and if someone decides to play my hack, it would most likely be that version?
-
@
Sicklyboy:
@TwoSpikedHands, I'll preface this with the fact that I know nothing about the game, but, I think it depends on what your goals are. Are you trying to make a definitive version of the game? You may want to refocus your efforts on the EU version then. Or, are you trying to make a better US version? In which case, the only way to make a better US version is to keep on plugging away at that one -
@
Sicklyboy:
I'm not familiar with the technicalities of the differences between the two versions, but I'm wondering if at least some of those differences are things that you could port over to the US version in your patch without having to include copyrighted assets from the EU version
-
@
TwoSpikedHands:
@Sicklyboy I am wanting to fully change the game and bend it to my will lol. I would like to eventually have the ability to add more characters, enemies, even have a completely different story if i wanted. I already have the ability to change the tilemaps in the US version, so I can basically make my own map and warp to it in game - so I'm pretty far into it!
-
@
TwoSpikedHands:
I really would like to make a hack that I would enjoy playing, and maybe other people would too. swapping to the EU version would also mean my US friends could not legally play it
-
@
TwoSpikedHands:
I am definitely considering porting over some of the EU features without using the actual ROM itself, tbh that would probably be the best way to go about it... but i'm sad that the voice acting is so.... not good on the US version. May not be a way around that though
-

@
The Real Jdbye:
@TwoSpikedHands just switch, all the knowledge you learned still applies and most of the code and assets should be the same anyway -
@
The Real Jdbye:
and realistically they wouldn't
be able to play it legally anyway since they need a ROM and they probably don't have the means to dump it themselves -

do y'all think having an sd card that has a write speed of 700kb/s is a bad idea?
trying to restore emunand rn but it's taking ages... (also when I finished the first time hekate decided to delete all my fucking files
) -

@The Real Jdbye it hasn't given me any error trying to write things on it so I don't really think it's faulty (pasted 40/50gb+ folders and no write errors)
