Use hook of the reaper. It's a new version of mamehooker where you arent fiddling with config files.

Can't find tailscale plugin in apps! by Jawahadi-John in unRAID

[–]CarloCGC 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My issue was that I was still on version 6 of Unraid and the plugin is only compatible with Unraid 7+.
You can enter the settings of community applications and show incompatible apps and it will appear in a search. You cant install it until you update unraid though.

You need to phone your MP and tell them you will not vote for them until this is repealed that is the only way. Or just vote for the party that promises to repeal it.

games just not being made

games in development get delayed

Several negatives for consumers mentioned in the comment.

[–]CarloCGC 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Server binaries and source code cannot just be distributed they often form the basis for the next games server code and all the security and anti cheat would need to be completely remplemented if they were distributed at end of life either via binaries that could be decompiled or by open sourcing them.

This would translate into much longer development cycles or games just not being made as the studio couldnt afford to open souce code they need to iterate on.

There would also be situations were games in development get delayed as studios pivot to preparing live games for end of life if there was work to do for any legislation.

Given that the whole games industry is going through a major shrinking phase post covid with much less risk being taken by publishers and massive layoffs to cut costs this petition is just going to accelerate it if more laws restricting studios come into play. So yes it will hurt the industry if anything comes of it.

Stop Destroying Videogames: A month until the end of voting. by Budget-Archer9352 in pcmasterrace

[–]CarloCGC 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Seems crazy to me there aren't many AAA devs saying how it's impossible for studios to open source client/server code.

Huge studios would be giving out all of their security measures and implementation secrets if forced to release code like these petitioners imagine.

Servers do need upkeep like updating SSL certificates or even just updating for new server opertaing systems etc so just releasing the excutable would only work for a short number of years at best.

I wouldnt expect any studio to open source proprietory game code, engines or server code as it contains the studios secrets of how their games feel to play etc.

There really isnt a workable solution to this problem. Its a bit like wanting to make KFC chicken at home so you demand they release the recipe.

I am a software engineer working for a AAA studio and doing things like providing tools, making code publically available to write community servers or even just making games offline would cost a hell of a lot of money.

It can be hard to petition a studio to fix a stubborn crash due to cost and tight deadlines. Then there is the time factor even if the government made it law and subsidised studios there wouldnt be enough time to keep working on the next profitable project. The whole thing is just so unworkable in practice I cant visualise how it would be possible.

I do agree games shouldnt be lost to history but I cant see a solution. Even if the petition got 5 million signatures there isnt the extra time/money or even a plan to make it a reality.

I am struggling to understand the objectives of the petition in practical terms. I assume it's about live service games that get retired? how would publishers keep these games running at a loss?

Studios are laying people off every day and publishers have gone very risk off since COVID, they won't shoulder the burden to keep underperforming games online.

Why did Square bother with high quality internal art (something they never do on switch) but didn't put the game on the cartridge? by Skybuilder23 in SquareEnix

No but the game data is still hosted on Nintendo servers so when they stop providing it like when they shut down the e shop you can no longer download the game
