See how f'cked up the US is right now...

Hey all,  I got a msg from some fly by night place named Neustar to prove I am a US citizen in order to keep this domain.  I'm not going to hand them identity papers to let them fall into who knows whose hands.

Can you believe they would take a green card (easily faked) as proof of being a citizen? Those two don't even go together.

Those of you that know me know that I am the most 'US citizen' there is.  Sadly, this is just how f'cked up the US is right now.

So, if this domain suddenly becomes some shitty porn distro site, you know why.  Blame the US government.

Everyone knows my email address, so if you have any ideas (LOL fake ID documents!) let me know within a few days.

I have a new GoodGBA and updated GoodSNES ready to go, but no sense posting them yet if they will just disappear.

Does anyone have email for...

Just a shot in the dark. Does anyone have a working email for 'BoboPJ64'? He was active until a few years ago and I need to ask him about some of his dumps.

Much appreciate any info!!

P.S.  Yes, I know about the 'fixnes' problem some of you are having with certain Windows configs and GoodNES. I've fixed it and will release a new one ASAP.

Wow.. thanks a lot!

Nice move.. some asswipe is constantly downloading the suite of tools. Now I'm over my dropbox limit (which should NEVER happen normally).  So much for a pre-New Years release.

I'll upload the suite somewhere else if someone provides a good service. I don't like Box, nor anything with anonymous links since I can't track the number of downloads.

To RAR or not to RAR?

Well, here it is another six months later and I still have no release.  Besides being very busy, I can't get unrar5 to work with unicode/utf8 properly.

Do you guys even give a crap about RAR?   If I could decode all the C++ wrappers in 7zip to just add its unrar to the existing LZMA stuff, I'd try that, but I'm quite bad at following that code for some reason and have never figured it out :(

Out of the blue...

...I make a post!   Real life has been at 0% idle level lately, but I'm still working on GoodTools and other stuff.  I would release a new version, but there is still a nagging bug in RAR file handling that causes a BSOD and no one likes those.  If I had code to create RAR files i could figure out why my code can't decode some of them, but alas it is closed source.  Still I forge ahead.

I did get time to work on Tandy 1000 emulation in MESS last week.  It is not as well done as I'd like as many of the chips and BIOS ROMs are not dumped 100% correctly.  If you've still got a Tandy 1000 from mid 80s-mid 90s lying around, email me and we can try and get em all dumped properly. Models include things like the HX RX TX SX SL RL, etc etc.. Tandy made lots of variations.

Be back soon!

If you want an answer to a comment...

If you want an answer to a comment you have to leave me your email address IN THE COMMENT TEXT.  I don't use Google+ or the other authorization systems like OAUTH.

I see 25 comments right now asking valid questions (not ROM begging) but with 'anonymous' as the contact info. That does not help either of us resolve the issue!

If you want to post a link to unknown ROMS you have found, feel free. I promise I won't let those comments become public
