I'll just leave this here for you, for your future reference: https://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anexo:Salario_m%C3%ADnimo_en_Venezuela Also, it seems you don't even know collectors. Would you buy a SNES cart with a melted case and with a broken ROM? I thought so. This isn't Pawn Stars where someone will pay top money for 35% of a bill just because it came from a notable air hijacking (the $2 D.B. Cooper ransom bills), there isn't any historic context behind this burned bill beyond "Venezuelans are stupids", and in the specific scale for grading paper money, this is an automatic POOR due to the large missing chunk (The IBNS has a excellent free guide introducing people to paper money collecting, where they explain with pretty pictures the grading scales: it's VERY forgiving scale as there are only Fair and Poor at the tail end, but noone is looking for notes at those tiers unless for ancient issues where there are no surviving specimens otherwise) Collectors don't buy shit. Serious collectors won't even look at images of shit. As for the rest of my collection: it's not for sale - it's barely starting anyway! It's not at the "get rich and retire to a tropical island" point yet. It's not even at the "buy a new computer with the earnings" point. It's like trying to sell a SNES cart collection with only EA Sports games and a lone Final Fantasy cart. Licensed Pirate® since 2006, 100% Buttcoin™-free, enemy of All Things JavaScript™ |

Posted by creaothceannWhy, Internet, why? XD To be fair though, the second rendition of the omastar was pretty cool though. On a non-related topic: RC A-10 with functional flares and BRRRT. Too bad it couldn't actually do BRRRT. I still have no idea what I'm talking about. |

TiTAN Overdrive 2 - Emulator Comparison https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_FyQPn89RZQ Blastem is a megadrive emulator i just heard of recently, apparently cycle accurate so a bit like the bsnes of megadrive emulation maybe. poor Genesis Plus...it really has a hard time keeping up with some of the most obscure tricks you can do with the system. also that's one hell of a demo whoops forgot tomman mentioned it here https://helmet.kafuka.org/bboard/thread.php?pid=1736 well, now you can see it in action i guess |

Remember WinBrick96? That's one of the games I used to play from random shareware CDROMs, and one of the games I tried to As you may remember, currently there is no way to buy any of the full versions of the games by its developer, since their shareware payment processor closed shop due to the GDPR), nor there is any way to contact the developer (there are no email addresses publicly available, and the contact form on their website has been broken for years). All points to yet another piece of dead and forgotten software, right? Well... not so fast! The guy doesn't seem to be dead yet, as he DID updated its registration page with the following message: As our old business partner has concluded his business, we are looking for a new distributor. Unfortunately, the contact forms remains broken as of the date and time of this post (This also means that if you managed to buy any of his games in the past and somehow neglected to backup your installers, you're now fucked, as you can't request a download link anymore since the specific contact form for that is also broken too. BACKUP YO' SHIT, PEOPLE!!!). Seriously dude, Y U NO GOG!???!?! (Or even Steam, assuming you're willing to deal with complaints from people that have trouble running your ancient games on Windows 10) The classic shareware model has been dead for years - it's all freemium pay2win shitware OR Steam/GOG/$FAVORITE_APPSTORE nowadays!

https://web.archive.org/web/*/www.winbrick.de/* Isn't everything here? Just search for "application" Regarding Cyber Pinball: I thought it'd be good practice so I gave it a stab. Unfortunately, OllyDbg is painful under Wine (I'm amazed it even runs!), so I gave up. But the packing is just a red herring it seems, since the DRM kicks in before running the packer. The actual game is packed via a Bit-Arts Cruncher-type packer, and can be unpacked with "The Bit-Arts Solution v1.2," but there's not much point to it. It crashes on execution, but you can look at strings and stuff. It looks like the actual DRM is in an EXE file named insXXXX.tmp with a corresponding DLL file named DW2XXXX.tmp, in the temp folder, since it has strings related to unlocking. XXXX is a short, not zero-padded. XXXX isn't the same for the two but it's close. DW2 is always higher than ins and always later. Removes ins but not DW2 on shutdown/game start. Always the same MD5 hash, although it might vary by machine so I won't post mine. Computing DW2-ins and comparing to file time shows that the difference is the same as the millisecond difference in creation time, ±2 ms or so. So I suppose you could just set a breakpoint on the time APIs, unless they're used too often. Anyway, all this is unimportant. If some researcher in 2100 wants to analyze WinBrick96, he'll just have to fire up his Electron-powered cloud debugger and do it himself. The important thing is to preserve the artifacts, since those are the only things at risk of getting lost. There was a certain photograph about which you had a hallucination. You believed that you had actually held it in your hands. It was a photograph something like this. |

You might be able to piece together some information on the site and find a person who maintains an online social presence. 95% sure it's who you'd think it is - location and some other stuff matches, and there can't be that many people meeting the criteria. But then you kind of reach a dead end. What are you going to do, e-mail him? Also if you were that desperate you could still contact the developer given the information on the site.

Welp, apparently there are a couple email addresses on the README file that ships with the demo version. ...the very same README file noone actually reads, and which was last updated in 2003. Will try emailing those. FYI: the download links for the registered versions (and its updates) were never public. I guess they were hosted on the very same servers as the other stuff, but obviously they weren't shared with anyone but customers (one-time/per-user links? Or simply a honor system: "here is the download link, plz do not leak!"). Archive only has the download links for both the Win16 and Win32 demo versions, as expected. The author is named Stefan Kuhne, but looking for him is quite tough, as he seems to share name with an Euro-fútbol player (which seems to be a well known celebrity, and hence not our guy). If I limit my search for "Stefan Kuhne Winbrick", I only get listings from shareware sites, and someone who archived one of the many demo versions at the Internet Archive, but no Twatters or Fecesbooks or whatever is popular in Deutschland - maybe this guy simply hates social media like me.

Linkedin requires a free account (even for viewing only), which I'm not going to create. Did this guy jumped from random shareware to being a speaker on cellphone apps & web development? Sounds sketchy, but not unfeasible. How many Stefan Kunhes, born (?) in Germany and living in California could be out there? That Radaris site looks very intimidating (for the people who's being looked on!). Also, "WARNING: GRAPHIC CONTENT! THE TRUTH!!!!" disclaimers. What's not cool: "$34,78/mo" just for invading Someone's Else Privacy. NO THANKS. UPDATE: There is another example of some good ol' game I played out of shareware CDROMs: http://www.edcollins.com/cyberbox/ (in this case, another Sokoban clone) The guy kept selling and updating the game for over a decade, but then gave up because DOS is dead (just like the Dreamcast and Yuyuko), and ended releasing the full game for free. If you are/were a shareware gamedev in the '90s/early '00s, why not do the same? You aren't going to get rich, and people need to resort to things like emulators and VMs just to relive their childhood memories. But that still is worth something, just not money.

Posted by tomman Oh, I thought they just wanted you to activate. The author is named Stefan Kuhne, but looking for him is quite tough Yeah, but there's another person who's a bit easier to find. I don't want to invade anyone's privacy, but a PM should be fine. Mr. Kuhne lives in California, so any results for someone living in Germany are duds. Likewise for anyone spelling it "Kühne". StKuhne@gmx.net does not exist anymore: "550 Requested action not taken: mailbox unavailable". You could use it as a starting point for further queries, although it doesn't seem to be used for very much. HIBP doesn't have it, and that includes spam lists.
