Well, that ends the use of Makaron by anyone.
Progress on the Sega Dreamcast emulator for PC.
From the official site:
t least some of you must realize that developing Makaron is a time consuming process. Time I could very well be spending doing things that bring me money. I have expenses you know, mostly PC hardware and software but also Dreamcast games and other stuff (like a new oscilloscope, as the old one died on me sometime ago).
I'm happy people use my emulator and find it useful, but I also belive it's only fair I got someting out of it as well.
Having said that I've came up with an idea of Pay to Play system for Makaron - prepaid style. Makaron will be free to download and try out but to play longer you will need to purchase an activation code. Simply put, in exchange for money you'll be given a limited time to use my emulator. Once that time is up you'll need to pay again, very much like you would for a cell phone number.
Payment options will include credit cards and other common money transfer services, but I haven't yet decided on the rates so it'll take a few days to set everyting up. I will be done with the activation code shortly too.
This is the last free version: Makaron T10.
UPDATE: I've changed my mind - I'm going to start with payment system right now. If you've managed to download the free T10 then consider yourself lucky.
Well, that ends the use of Makaron by anyone.
If anyone is looking to buy, sell, trade games and support a developer directly at the same time, consider joining Goozex. Enjoy!
i guess i can see the authors point but as you 2 above said its a bit lame charging for an emulator!
paul
WTF pay for a time limited version? I'm sorry thats just bull$#@! no disrespect to the coder I've been very excited about this project and I understand where he's coming from saying that I'd be more than happy to pay $100 or more for this emulator and be able to get any future updates for free but pay as you go LOL errrrrrrrm NO THANKS!
Wait... PAY??
No WAY!!
Emulators are meant to be FREE!!!
It's FREE!!!
If the autor is expecting a lawsuit from SEGA, he WILL have one.
Remembers me of the guys that made bleem!.
LOlz, They where owned by Sony! XD LOOOOOOL
Anyways, I'm sorry, but I won't pay for something that is meant to be FREE.
Emulators are something meant to be done for entertainment.
Coders enjoy and entertain themselfs coding them.
Having said that: NO! NO PAYMENT!
HAPPY APRIL FOOLS DAY! XD
