Because they reshare content made here and give nothing back.

Don't they make lots of themes, artwork etc and make them completely 100% freely downloadable to anybody who wants them without charging a penny? Isn't that "giving back?"

Craig you cant take what Pole said so personally. I think he has a very valid point about maintaining a level of quality and standards. He was giving you helpful advice so you could better use your time to create work that will be more widely used.

I've actually spent a lot of time creating and uploading material for very obscure systems that could be considered to be against a lot of the standards set here. I appriciate the support I've received and the moderators not calling me out for not posting in the standard formats.

Take the critisism and fix what you can to better help the community. No one is stopping you from uploading your work (I like and use some of your work) Pole just wants to help you reach the level of quality you have been striving for.

I'm not taking anything personally. I just think it is kinda weird to have a word be banned on a site. Try to type *********spin. You cant do it. It gets switched to what you see here: *********spin. I mean, let the market and people decide whether or not they want to mention *********spin.

If it is such a bad site, nobody will mention *********spin. *********spin. *********spin.

No offense, but I think the "quality and standards" argument is silly. This is video game stuff ..... not life and death decisions.........

(And it makes everything look the same, repetitive, one size fits all, cookie cutter, moderator approved look of hyperspin...IMHO)

There is no point in dividing the community. By giving back I mean moving here and keeping everything under one roof. Would make it much easier for everyone, including sync support for quality art.

You could not be more wrong.

I think there is a great point in "dividing the community." Competition makes everyone stronger. Better. Faster. Maybe they don't want to be under the moderator boot of constant single pixel criticism.......just maybe.

I think it is great how they have 100% free download links in the threads. No big brother stuff over there. If u like it, download it. If not move on.....why cant this site let "the people" decide what they want? Allow download links. Make life easier. Increase freedom. Increase choice. Liberty!

It would " make it much easier" for this site to control everybody but it would in no way make it easier for them to keep rolling the way they wanna roll....IMHO

Dice crashes often when exiting a game to get back to hyperspin. Anybody else experience this? Fix?

thanks

It's a known issue with Dice 0.8.

This doesn't seem to be an issue with Dice 0.9.

Is that correct in everybody else's experience?

thanks

craig

and as a side note

this change to the .ahk file seemed to fix the 0.8 crashing problem on my system:

change

WinClose("DICE ahk_class phoenix_window")

to

Process, Close, Dice.exe

MEmuV = v0.8

MURL = http://adamulation.blogspot.com/

MAuthor = djvj

MVersion = 2.0.1

MCRC = C5F266C7

iCRC = 1E716C97

MID = 635038268883967308

MSystem = "DICE"

;----------------------------------------------------------------------------

; Notes:

; Create 4 txt files in the emu dir, one each for Gotcha, Pong, Rebound and SpaceRace.

; romExtension should be txt

; Point both emu and rom dirs to the dir that contains Dice.exe

; Dice stores its config in your user dir: C:\Users\username\AppData\Roaming\dice

; Bezels do not work yet, emu has a statusbar at the bottom that even when removed, still shows up in windowed mode

;----------------------------------------------------------------------------

StartModule()

; BezelGui()

FadeInStart()

settingsFile := modulePath . "\" . moduleName . ".ini"

Fullscreen := IniReadCheck(settingsFile, "Settings", "Fullscreen","true",,1)

; BezelStart()

7z(romPath, romName, romExtension, 7zExtractPath)

StringLower, romName, romName ; the rom's name must be passed lowercase to the emu otherwise it doesn't work

fullscreen := If fullscreen = "true" ? "" : " -window"

Run(executable . " " . romName . fullscreen, emuPath, "Hide") ; need Hide here otherwise the app pops into view over our GUI

WinWait("DICE ahk_class phoenix_window")

Control, Hide, , msctls_statusbar321, DICE ahk_class phoenix_window ; Removes the StatusBar

WinActivate, DICE ahk_class phoenix_window ; dice 0.8 does not give focus properly, this ensures it gets focus

WinWaitActive("DICE ahk_class phoenix_window") ; dice 0.8 has a status bar at the bottom

Control, Hide, , msctls_statusbar321, DICE ahk_class phoenix_window ; Removes the StatusBar

; BezelDraw()

; Sleep, 1000 ; small sleep required ottherwise Hyperspin flashes back into view

FadeInExit()

Process("WaitClose", executable)

7zCleanUp()

; BezelExit()

FadeOutExit()

ExitModule()

CloseProcess:

FadeOutStart()

;WinClose("DICE ahk_class phoenix_window")

Process, Close, Dice.exe

Return

Hi guys,

I've made some videos and wheels/artwork for dice. I saw craiganderson has made some too, so you have the choice ;).

(Movies are on emumovies ftpwaiting for approval)

very nice work

if ur movies are at emumovies then i guess they are "standard"

mine are just for me and anybody that wants them...ie lengths might be different on each one

but i do do 60fps

just fyi

craig if you're doing them at 60fps, length doesn't matter just make sure the gameplay video is longer than 30 seconds and the title video longer than 5 seconds. Trimming will be done after submission, so feel free to submit the avi files.

thanks for the info

unfortunately i do not record them in avi

i always wanna just get em done and move on so i record in .mp4 cuz that is what hyperspin wants

i dont think i have the patience to do .avi and then either convert or wait for someone to approve them

im not sure what the approval is for...i mean ....

i record em

i like em

i put em in my system

if they want my mp4s they can take em and do whatever they want with them......

i dont think i ever looked at the length of the videos but I dont think they are 30 seconds.....that just seems WAY to long to me...

and i dont do title videos...have no need for them......:)

but to each their own.....

thanks

Yes, I try to respect the emumovies "standard". But I understand your point of view too, and I like your work on the older systems (I have your Sord M5 system and have made a system video with the videos you've made. It's on my emumovies ftp). Thanks and never give up !!
