[Wrath Of Khan]

Where are you oh beefie, we hadst not heard from you for many seasons now.

Twill be christmas soon and we will need an abundance of pressies (software)

Rejoin the fold, come in from the cold,the pandora is old, yet the Pyra is newborn.

Who's C. Beef?

 

[TrashyMG]

He means Streaky Beef.

 

[Nintendo]

Oh! Yum :wub:

 

[Wrath Of Khan]

Yes, the guy who made some software and emulators for the pandora. Captain beef/streak

 

[Nintendo]

Oh well, I don't know him. We mustn't have crossed paths when I was at sea.

 

[Wrath Of Khan]

I'll pm him.

 

[Nintendo]

Thanks, don't forget to tell him about me and how, at the time...I was on my Maiden Voyage and twas why we never got to cross paths.

Thar be you a fine dash of an Errol Flynn.

Ported + added some closed source GUI from time to time.
However most of his ports should be in the debian repository anyway.

...and added some secret sendback of userdata to his own server, from time to time. 

I'm still wary of anything that he has had anything to do with.

Well, this would explain the "closed source"-part.

Well to give him some credit - he made it easier for folks to make use of dosbox. His dosbox version was pretty popular and there were several people paying for the software (you can probably still purchase the full version)

I never used it though - mainly due to the closed source part of the software. If there is an alternative I always prefer open source.

 

[DaMummy]

dont forget the posting on facebook stuff

 

[Wally]

Please don't summon that guy.

 

[Wrath Of Khan]

Summoning, summoning, summoning...

 

[Neelix]

You want to be careful with that... Summoned beings have a tendency to turn against the one who summoned them.

[bagmouse7]

I wish he would come back. His "cli love" toolkit was (is) awesome!

You've been watching too much vampire diaries... I know I have!!!

I've seen this line mentioned here a bunch, but I think there's something to be said about ports that are tailored to the hardware they run on, with a thoughtful interface that works well on a handheld with a small screen that's used on the go. You can't apt-get that from the Debian repos. I wouldn't use my Pandora much if it weren't for all the optimised and well-designed PNDs that people took the time to make.
