CommodoreUSA Partners with Disney

[brenry]

it's making what was once a legendary name into a laughing stock.

yeah, um.. hey danwood if you're considering becoming a apple Switcher or upgrading to an Atari ST I would be willing to give ya a couple of bucks for that slow old amiga hardware

What I dont get is there is no interface connections to use a 1541 or cassette drive ?  They dont seem to be offering any add-on kit.  Are they just assuming you will go online and download the disk (c) images.. one file at a time? Do they just supply them with a TOSEC DVD collection?  Wikipedia shows software copyright infringement laws begin to start to expire in 2030.  Companies may be out of business but Ebay even continues to remove pirated collections.  And people continue to make large profits from old software there from collectors.

If they are banking on people who actually buy the disney movie rather than download the mkv file, they probably aren't smart enough to know the retro torrent communities in the first place.

This will be really interesting come next month when they get flooded with tech support calls from people on how to load their disks.. hahahaahahaha

dammy: let me get this straight... you are a mod on their forum, act unprofessional when representing them, and act like overall douche.

Their money would be better spent hiring Franko to promote their product than disney.  At least then you would have the C= community willing to listen.  You are just continuing to make enemies.  The same people who post on that forum were probably paid to say stuff like that as well on the facebook page.  They.. well.. they don't sound like real people.

You as your mod status and representing their company went off on some schpill  about mental help, when in reality it's probably mental patients you hired to type all cheery on the forums, playing kindergarten games of hoooray this will be so fun.

dammy you dummy

There will be a app store to purchase C64 software. I suspect it won't take too long before new games/apps to appear after it's opening. I know, it's a foreign idea around here that Devs can make money from their work. Pathetic pirates are not the target market..

Dammy you missed the point.  People have old treasured disks; geneology, ansi art they may had made as a kid, old letters / documents.  that stuff can't be bought.  And games / programs they already own ?

You are missing the point of nostalgia and just back up everyone's view on how they are approaching this.  It's a mod kit, and you said yourself.. you don't give a damn about people.. its about trying to ca$h in on the namebrand.

dammy: I have no intention of buying crap from cussa.

I don't know if you do anything outside amiga... But this seems like a big flashback from a couple years ago of David Foley who manufactored those UltraCades that went like $3000 that was just a pc, vga monitor, and a cheap ass wooden arcade frame. He was charging $300 per expansion modual for like 15 MAME roms.  The whole thing was a joke as he previously tried to (C) the MAME name when he had nothing to do with the project. He had no respect in the BYOAC community.

Barry is the new David R. Foley in the emulation world.

Has anyone seen this movie?
Total crap!

The best part of the movie imo was when the kid turned on the power and the arcade came to life with all the retro ambience.  Was funny they used Journey - Love Will Find You, which is used on that 3D flythrough animation people use on that MAME cabinet intros.

Rest of the movie ?  hm.. came close to shutting it off a few times :/
