Thanks To the following people for making HAM a reality:

* Maike, my girlfriend, for bearing with me while I write all this stuff.
* Jeff Frohwein of devrs.com, who IMHO "runs" the scene, and built my MBV2.
* Jaap Suter, who allowed me to include some of his brilliant SGADE code, more specifically the ASSERT functionality and the debugging font gfx.
* The GNU GCC team, without them this would not exist at all. Thanks for constantly improving the best compiler around.
* Forgotten for letting me include the best GBA emulator there is into HAM, VisualBoyAdvance.
* Mike Green for being very helpful and supportive on a constant basis


Ah yes I see :). Nice to see you're still alive too :thumbs:

Hi rincywindy. No, I won't do a game with Vitto the bitto. From time to time I still talk with Vitto by the way :).

PEader, yes I downloaded that ebook. It's a really nice ebook and when I've got some spare time I'll get in to it more. But first I need to get my F2A USBWriter to work, or else I can't even test my little creations on the actual hardware :(.

The fact that *I* post a topic called "DIV is dead", doesn't that say enough? It's not like I have more info than you guys, but I wanted to hold on to Fasttrak promises, as it is a company I thought they wouldn't like to disapoint costumers like that. But the way it looks to me now, I think I was wrong. Although I appriciate that Mike has put lots of work in it, that hasn't done anything for me. So generally speaking I'm not that mutch of a happy costumer anymore...

That's up to you, do note that I may not represent what Booleansoup stands for as I'm just a moderator here. But before you go, you may want to read what I say here.

My attack was against Fasttrak though, it was not ment as a personal attack to you. I just think that Fasttrak has done way to little to keep their promisses about a Windows version of DIV. You probably have done a whole lot for one person, but I think Fasttrak as a company should have done more to keep their promisses. Or they shouldn't have made them.

What's most wrong is what I've got as an reply in an e-mail though, but unfortunately that e-mail also states: "This mail is confidential and not for reproduction by any means", otherwise I'd tell more...


EDIT: Maybe I'm being unreasonable at the time, but that's because I've had a huge lack of sleep and am disapointed about the earlyer mentioned e-mail.
Personally I thought for a long time that DIV DX was something worth waiting for, but I never dreamed of waiting on a pease of software for so long. DIV DX probably is good, but not thát good that it's worth like 7 years of my youth...

EDIT2: I just asked the Booleansoup team to unsubscribe me as a moderator, just so you'd know. Now I'm going to sleep, before I go crazy...

Wha, what's with the long toes Mike, PB could've put it way harsher but probably didn't in respect for your hard work. Fasttrak has made promises, lots of promises, and we haven't seen anything yet. It may exists, sure, but we haven't seen it, and as you said yourself, it's not even on the horizon. I think that gives someone the right to be disappointed, no?

And not being a moderater anymore? I don't see how this makes you uncapable of the job. People are taking stuff way too serious nowadays.

DTM, you could always join the Fenix team. :D

And wooh what's just happened? E-mail from who PB? I really don't see why you haven't gotten into Fenix. You are waiting for something that has been realized by others, I don't see why you don't try to pick that up? If you really loved DIV or making games, then please use Fenix. It's more than DIV ever was, and DIV was great.


And Mike get your ass back here. :what:
