Title: New Driver, and bad saying about Amigamerlin
Post by: FreddyM84 on 21 October 2004, 20:01:43
x3dfxgamers.de brought out a new driver yesterday. And they are saying

Quoteäh mal so ganz am rande: opengl und glide haben sich in dieser version nicht geändert und sind identisch mit der 1.06.01er version unseres treibers welcher schon seid anfang des jahres draußen ist. also entweder möchtest du uns sagen das AM3.1 von uns geklaut ist oder ich kann dir nicht folgen. umggekehrt wäre wohl nicht machbar es sei denn jemand verfügt über eine zeitmaschine

It means, that the Versions of OpenGL and Glide didn't changed since the 1.06.01 version of the x3dfxgamers.de driver and that the AM3.1 has been stolen from the 1.06.01 and it isn't possible in the other direction.

ahaha... sebastian, you should know better than that [}:)]

you see people, is THIS attitude that makes good guys go away. i somehow feel there won't be future amigamerlin releases, and mesafx may reach its final public release soon.

Its always the same with those guys. It happened after the release of AM 3.0 and now it happens again.
x3dfxgamers is proven to be a bunch of liers and fakers, so the best one can do is laugh about those morons.
I can only hope Amigamerlin and Daniel are not really upset about this incident...

Hi guys,
I would thanks Daniel for the link to this tread.
As in the past, this ridiculous group of liers continue to stolen other people's job. [:(]

They know only how to use Resource Hack for changing the string in the driver, noting else. They never ever coded and never ever can do usefull thing for our community.

This is what they can do. I can only hope that they don't try to stolen mesa too. [:(]

Anyway, as always, Daniel is right.

Bye to all

I don't think that they are going to steal Mesa. They are changing the copyright on the 3dfxogl.dll from 3dfx to their own.

well,my german is not perfect,but as far I know this means:
"either you are trying to tell us that AM3.1 was stolen from us,or I really dont know what are you talking about."
he is basically asking that other guy if he thinks that am3.1 was stolen from them..not as I want to defend them (I know about all the screwups they made in the past),but one thing is sure: misunderstanding of a foreign language can cause redundant trouble (learned myself[xx(])..

X3dfx gamers also sad they had made a V5 5500 with 128mb. But they wouldn't release pics. They only gave a score from 3dmark2001se. The x3dfxgamers forum is kinda small the voodoo alert forum is much better. The people there aren't making strage acusations.

Sad but true, you can only take so much.

I can relate as I just shut down my business catering to the turbo Dodge racing community after helping them out for a number of years. I would develop a part, test it on my own cars and then release it to the public.

My competitors would either use their unsuspecting customers cars to test items (selling the parts to them at full price and not telling them it's undeveloped) or would contact my suppliers and start selling the items I developed after they were fully tested at my expense for much less.

Now people who didn't purchasing anything from me are crying about the fact I'm shutting my doors and no longer answer e-mails and they have to try and get answers from people who have never worked on a car a day in their life.

boo-hoo-hoo.

Hey we're a comunity, you help us with drivers, and we all know where they come from, and we make sure we know who to thank. The day I have to pay, plead, or anything of the sort, to get a single driver i'll change cards and thats it.
If these ppl want to take credit for your work let them be, you get our thanks, not them

I was rather baffled by the statement and thought we were on a turbo dodge board for a moment, this "it's all about me" attitude is very common there among the younger crowd.

No one is entitled to drivers here, people are helping out of the goodness of their heart. If you have a problem with that, I suggest taking your card and tossing it in the nearest trashcan since you have no idea what voodoo is about.

I for one would be more then happy to slide a few bucks someone's way as a thank you for their hard work.

As all official 3dfx driver development has ceased to exist from Nvidia's acquisition of the company (those dirty bastards [V]), I'm extremely gratefull for the efforts of all the talented people here who have taken up the cause of helping out fellow 3dfx owners\fans by implementing new features,compatibility,speed improvements, etc. into your drivers as it has'nt cost us a penny [8D]

I like gdonovan would have no problem what so ever with having to pay something for all your time and efforts ;)

I'm also really hoping that you guy's carry on with your great work !

But paying peopl will create problems, who deserves more.
It is better to just reward those nice peopl with a nice graphic card or something :P. But I am afraid the money would atract the wrong people.

Im still trying to figure out what the f*** you understood from what i posted. Seemingly by the asnwers i assume you understood something completely wrong. But i can't see how that happened [:0]

EDIT 2: What i meant was, the day someone OBLIGES me to pay for a driver, a 3dfx driver, and i fully emphazise on OBLIGES, i will just go and buy another card. I understand you could very well ask for payment, but that would just kill my reason for owning a 3dfx card =/

obviously, you can't.

well, then, <quote> "what the f***" </quote> is keeping from not doing it right now, you big voodoo guy? when the sh!t hits the fan, there you are: runs and hides.

one more thing: neither amigamerlin, nor me were asking for something in return, YOU were the one to bring up the money issue in the first place.

however, if you can't realize that we're doing this only because we like to give something to the community - AND ALSO RESPECT THAT - then you must be some failure that got lost in the wrong forum. there are some forums around were trolls are effectively awarded. don't have to search too much.

All this was one big blown up misunderstanding. But this happens when you are dealing with people from all countries. Well, this shows that this forums is very relax, considering the way that other forums are posting at each other. Although it sometimes tend to get hot in here, But that happens everywhere aint it.
