Re: Searching for...
Well, I downloaded the 12 parts from link 2 but since I'm an idiot i don't know what to do next.
I tried zipping them up and uploading as an attachment but I don't think it'll work because the bastards 590 megabytes!
....Either that or I'm just being impatient.
Edit: I'm uploading them to rapid but its goes pretty damn slow. wont be ready for a while as i just started part 3

Re: Searching for...
Glee.
That, or give me your username/password! *Shot*
I donno. Could it be uploaded to Megauploads/Rapidshare or whatever, but without the Premium requirement or something, perhaps...? ):
Edit: I will go sleep in a lil bit. Mind sharing your plans/thoughts before that? Not a must, of course.
Edit 2: "I tried zipping them up and uploading as an attachment"... I think my head decided to take early vacation, my apologies for not grasping this previously, ugh.
Edit 3: Thanks a big bundle for the effort, chap. I am off to bed though... And thanks again!

Re: Searching for...
T_T IT WANTS PREMIUM ACCOUNT TOO! *Rolls about in a fit*
Goddamnit RS. Ugh... Thanks for the assistance Darkboy, you're a star for trying to help, even though this way didn't work...
Uploading to Megauploads or ULMF might work, but I can understand if it sucks uploading stuff...
Another way would be letting me quickly borrow your RS account, but I can understand if that's the iffiest option, so I understand if that's a no-go.
*Curses somewhere in a corner*

Re: Searching for...
Hum... How big are those zips one by one? Perhaps uploading those, one by one, to ULMF is easier...? Or maybe I should just be quiet... x:
Thanks a lot for helping out, once more. Wish I could repay it somehow...

Re: Searching for...
Even Abandonware things? The link to DK2 gives a few points as to why it is Abandonware, and I would believe the two other games are that too...
Buuut. This topic serves no purpose no longer, unless we turn it into an Abandonware sharing topic, if that'd be okay, not that I have much Abandonware lying around to begin with...

Re: The Abandonware Thread
I think it just says by default, Abandonware is illegal unless it goes under certain conditions. But I donno. You seem to like to trip peoples parades, don't you? =p

Re: The Abandonware Thread
EDIT: Aargh making my brain hurt. As far as I can tell it might be/ might not be illegal, it really depends on the individual download you're talking about. I couldn't really find out about wether those indivdual games have copy right protection on them. Yeah I know really helpful huh.
"Abandonware does not always mean "freeware." It only means a software title's support has been "abandoned," not the author's right to prohibit distribution. Many old commercial software titles, some dating back decades, are still under non-distributable copyright protection. Just because a software program is "old" does not always mean it is permissible to distribute copies. Even if you are not familiar with copyright laws, if caught distributing software titles that are under non- distributable copyright protection, you could end up answering to a corporate or individual's attorney."
EDIT2: I would say we may want to kill the links in the thread just to stay safe. According to this
EDIT3: Now I feel like a part pooper so I'm going to go stick my head in boiling water.
Not really, I was more just curious as to wether I was reading it correctly. Since you never know with some companies and copyright law.
