CoinOPS 5 Countdown


gamez fan

Recommended Posts

I remember when BP threatened to ban gamez fan from his site unless he came on here and posted almost exactly this ^^.

I posted this on my own, BP didn't ask/tell me to say anything. I'm just sick of personal attacks.

I understand that the scene is broken, I just want it to be civil. Maybe that is asking too much...

 

You guys can go back to whatever it was you were doing before I interrupted.

I don't mind that Sharpfork gives his side of things, after all we like to hear all sides of the story. And we're not about to edit his post or ban him.

 

The problem is that on bp's forum, you can only say things that are favourable. Otherwise you risk having your posts modified or removed, and getting called a troll and banned. So, for those who wish to express a contrary view, they need to post that elsewhere (mostly here). That is why there are 'sides'. To even post here at all is to risk a ban over there.

 

The comment about puppy dogs was directed at those whose only purpose of joining the forum is to ask or demand where to get the software... not to those who have actually helped, such as Sharpfork.

i appreciate sharpforks opinion. he helped me with my xbox arcade which is still in the works.

 

@sharpfork: you know the whole story as to why bp is no longer trusted among the scene.

 

1) using other peoples sources and not recognizing them for their contribution.

 

2) not releasing his coinops source in a timely manner (although i'll admit i didn't release fbl sources very quick, sorry. they are out there).

 

3) his continuous banning and bully tactics when he was here at 1emu (1 strike for 1emu).

 

the rest are personal pet-peeves:

 

4) he has no sense of humor.

 

5) his ability to write a proper sentence and/or paragraph is atrocious. it's a bad joke that he lives in the educated county of new zealand where english is the common/official language. some of the posters here and emuxtras write better when english is their second or third language.

 

however, none of this will change your mind... many dev's of the past have left because of his involvement. you should note that all existing dev's in the scene are at emuxtras. that should tell you something.

 

thanks for posting, we all appreciate your help in the scene.

well there you have it coinops 5 which as far as i understand is to be the last full release on the xbox from reading the coinops forum a while back

i fully expect coinops 6 to be either on the android or xb360 platform unless plans have now changed

now ive heard some opinions expressed that doubt BP's abillity to port coinops across to said platforms i for one will keep an interested eye on

the situation see where coinops goes from here

 

note to BritneysPAIRS im relaying what ive heard this is not a trolling comment designed to wind you up OK!!! best way to shut doubters up is to port it simple as

This mentality of competition is the single most pathetic thing about BP and CoinOPS. No other developer sees things this way; it's laughable. And yet there are still those that say BP isn't the reason the scene is split.

 

That's all I'm going to say. I'll now leave those who wish to discuss this release to do so.
