This is the last dat I will be providing. I'm getting too many PM's and EM's and indirect references from code hackers who are angry that I'm putting their codes in the dat without giving them direct credit in every code. It's not good enough that I put their name in the txt file. It doesn't matter that the R4 team gave credit to NO ONE for the codes they had in their dat (which is the very base of this dat), so I'm done. I concede to the hackers requests that I've been, up to this point, ignoring.
Slurp it up while you can, the link will be removed Monday November 5th. There will be no more updates.
I didn't start maintaining this dat to cause trouble. I just considered it a fun way to give to the community, but if I'm pissing too many hackers off, then I will just stop to appease the talented hackers that make the codes. I don't want to get banned from the sites I rely on to get my codes. I don't want them to stop code hacking (or providing them publicly) just because of me and this dat. I've already been banned from DS-Coders for what they called "stealing codes" even though I've said time-and-time-again that I didn't make any of the codes in the dat.
It was never my intention to create animosity between me and the code hackers.
From now on, I'm just going to update the dat for myself and my real life personal friends.
I'm truly sorry to have to do this. I enjoyed adding codes to the dat. But I am tired of catching flak for it. Especially when I don't even use 99% of the codes that are in the dat. Actually, I only use the backlight codes.
It's time I concentrate on finding a real paying job, not doing volunteer work all day.
Please don't be mad, it's not the fault of anyone here. The last round of PM's/EM's from the code hackers were the final straw, not the GBAtemp community (which I consider my cyber-family). I'm not going to say who the hackers were that complained. I don't want to be the one that causes them to get hollered at by the community.
It's time I respected their wishes. No more updates. Sorry.
Of course, if someone else wants to take over where I left off. I can't stop them from doing so. But be prepared to receive the complaints of the hackers if you do. I'm getting to old to argue about it.
I also wish to apologize to all the hackers who think I was stealing their codes. That was never my intent.
