did you fix golden tee 2011

what do you mean fix?  there wasn't anything that needed fix.  the game works perfectly.  the person doing the "super easy" setups for GT has stopped doing them.  Time to learn how to setup a postgres DB install for yourself.  https://pixeldrain.com/u/3ZcdASa5

Seriously, from at least gt2007 through gt2011 (5 sets) jcstahl1 has provided access to a viable / correct ROM set within an hour of being supported by TP… and people whine and complain about a tiny bit of effort REQUIRED to add the DB?

 

Let’s be happy with what we get and be willing to put forth a little bit of effort to enjoy these fun games.

 

If you can’t say thank you, say nothing and move on.

 

Thanks jcstahl1

Link has been removed for being directly reposted by whoever runs RomCollector.com

 

I'm unsure if I will be posting any longer if this continues to happen.

 

😁

Why remove links?

[TeknoNecro]

RomCollector.com charges for ROM collections and tries to charges for downloading various Golden Tee links and other IT games. Why would anyone want to post a link and pay for bandwidth when this guy charges others for the download and then hijacks the link we supply here.

 

Guys like that will end up drying up ROM releases. He distributes the ROMs for profit, we do it for preservation. We’re not making a profit off the effort and don’t want to, but sure as hell we’re not going to let others blatantly profit from these efforts.

 

Eventually all the ROMs will be shared in private and will become harder and harder to find because of guys like RomCollector.

 

 

Here, let’s return the favor:  https://www.romcollector.com/teknoparrot-downloads-i-48.html

 

Go there and download from his links 🤪
 

At least Golden Tee 2011 was NOT password protected, I tried it.... hahahaha

because other people sharing my links elsewhere eats up my cloud storage bandwidth that I pay for out of my own pocket.  I always have a pretty good idea of how much will be used when I post one of the more popular games, so when I saw a huge spike for GT2011 I knew something was up   Thankfully another member of a private discord I belong to discovered it and brought it to my attention.

 

Plus, as stated by TeknoNecro stated, I'm not going to support or make it any easier for people like romcollector or others who profit off the work of others that's done for free to preserve and have these games playable.

 

There's some big name titles coming down the pipe soon that I have pretty much ready & waiting to go, and I'm honestly not sure if I'll post them here for the reasons listed above.

@Ijcstahl1 get this totally it could easily have been mirrored by someone, it can't be all take with no give with these things, people behaving like vultures, torrent is probably the best way to go assuming people share with others, which there is no excuse for not doing as it will be free to do, just my opinion anyway, for what its worth which is probably very little when its not me having to pay.

mistake made

[TheNewClassics]

Thanks jc, regardless of whether or not you continue to upload, all your contributions have been greatly appreciated by all of us!

[jcstahl1]

I agree.  Sadly when things get posted, most of the time no one steps up to mirror and repost with a new link.  Most people just snatch & run, and then when others come along, they complain and ask for new links, which could easily be avoided by people actually working as a community to keep links to these games alive.  Vultures is an excellent description of those people.

 

I don't know what a good solution is.

[TeknoNecro]

There was a time when original posters simply stated up front "grab and mirror" and then killed the link in like a day or two.  It'd be on Mega and if you didn't grab it, it was gone quickly and most of the time few if anyone ever bothered to mirror it.

This is probably the approach I will take from now on if & when I decide to post stuff that will get a bunch of downloads.

that's the problem.  there's only a few of us that ever do.  everybody wants to download everything, but nobody wants to reupload themselves to keep sharing.

just checked it now and it's still up.  don't know why he'd ban you.  you're not the one who emailed him about stealing and profiting from other people's work 😉 that email was obvious received since he updated the link, but he didn't have the balls to reply.

[TeknoNecro]

If I try and go there I get the 403 "forbidden" error 😎

 

but that would be the last place I need to source ROMs. 😉   I’m guessing the owner lurks on these forums for his source of ROMs 🧐 because this is the first place they show up. Talk about hypocrisy 🤣😂🤣

[TeknoNecro]

For the record, I support the archival backup and sharing of ROMs (and yes, the sharing part is technically illegal). However, I’m 100% against those that sell ROMs. And it’s a bullshit statement/argument that "I’m not ‘selling’ ROMs, just selling HDs and you’re paying me for my time to copy/replicate the HDs." Just be honest, you’re selling ROMs and that disclaimer isn’t legal protection.

 

I also believe that a 20 year old Arcade PCB no longer in production or distribution being emulated isn’t a financial loss for a company that might not actually be in business anymore. Many of the games emulated by TP aren’t actual revenue streams for the developer either. The sale of the original hardware was the revenue stream. In fact, the rise of the emulation scene created a realization for some companies that the "retro" packs / releases was an economic viability. Those retro packs would never have come to market without emulation and companies seeing the potential to monetize the emulation movement.

 

How many of these retro releases do you think use code straight out of MAME without compensation? Do you actually think all the Arcade1up releases use NO MAME code? The MAME emulation code is one of the most stressed tested code bases there is anywhere and it can be commercially used without royalties.

 

In a system like Golden Tee with year after year upgrades that overwrites the previous year, there is a danger that the oldest years can eventually be lost forever. So each of these years should be archived.

 

Time to get down off my soapbox…
