![]() Then you go on about how easy-peasy-lemon-squeezy the nag is to remove after all. what's the point you're attempting to make here? Don't be silly, you'd still be here moaning like all the people during the closed-beta period and tell people to use GLupeN64 instead anyways don't try to make a point by using a circular argument. "WinRAR sucks! Use 7-zip which supports RAR and it's free!".Īlso suggesting to make it closed source. Go bitch the devs of such software for not making it nag-free while praising the free alternatives (which base their code on the original implementation of the shareware program in the first place). Except they complety stop letting you use their software after a certain amount of days/uses (WinRAR does not, but it nags you to buy it). ![]() Actually, any shareware software would fall into the same category by your logic. WinRAR, which is a popular piece of software would fall in the same category, then. The affirmation that a soft nag is ransomware-like behavior is completely fucking asinine. What you are doing is a dick move, either remove this altogether or make it closed source again so people are forced to buy it instead.Īnd seriously, way to go to make the Notification code public in the source code and a way around it with the Run count.Įven end users with IQ over 30 could figure that out eventually. Gangsters, mobsters and thugs do these kind of things and here I thought Project64 were honest. ![]() "Pay up bitch or else we take your computer as hostage" Project64 is open source, nobody have to pay for this software but with everything that's going on and have been going on it feels like it's all about money and greed. I have been gone for quite some time here and have not used Project64 since then and when I finally want to give it a honest chance again after all these months I just can't. I'm just gonna get this out of my system and leave quietly afterwards.įirst of all I'm surprised if Project64 still have a user base left since all Adware scandals and now there's Ransomware like nag screens in Project64 popping up (yeah I'm late to the party, been using GLupeN64) (Alt+D)" option to the Help menu for easy access to the donation page in case the user decides they want to donate during gameplay (say, if they were impressed by how well the emulator works). (Also, to make it harder to bypass the dialog by modifying Project64.cfg, I would recommend storing the Run Count= setting somewhere deep in the registry and with an ambiguous name.)įinally, as minor suggestions I would recommend adding a Cancel button to the donation dialog to be able to close the emu instead of waiting, and adding a "Donate. 36." and so on before "Continue" appears. A text on the greyed out button that says "Please Wait 40. You should add a countdown to the Continue button to make it clear that, and how long, you have to wait to continue. It was only when I went back to close the emu that I noticed the Continue button had been enabled, so I closed and reopened the emu and counted how long it took for the Continue button to be enabled, and it was about 40 seconds. When I first encountered the Continue button greyed out and it didn't enable after about 30 seconds, I figured I wouldn't be able to use the emulator anymore without entering a donation code, so I opened the Project64.cfg file suspecting the lockout to be simple setting, and sure enough, it was. Once 10 uses have been exceeded and the emulator starts making you wait, it is unclear how long you have to wait or if you will be able to even use the emulator at all, specially since the wait is rather long. IMO, the dialog should preface by saying that it takes time and money to develop PJ64, etc, and clearly state that you can support the project and remove the dialog by donating $20 USD (or is it AUD?) to the developer. (Also, have all PJ64 1.7 donors been emailed a code?) It only says "Enter notification code" without explaining what this does (shouldn't it at least be called a "verification code" or "product key"?). Also, nowhere does it mention that you can remove the dialog by donating. Some people may believe you're asking for Facebook likes or something like that. The text only talks about "supporting" Project64 without specifying what type of support is being requested. There are a few things that I think can be improved in this dialog:
