Hi there...
I have some good news, and some bad news.
First the good news, I have a fully functioning win32 computer. It was given to me as part of my job. Now I can do windows-ish admin of things on the q-gears side.
Now the bad news...
I have been contacted by someone in the "industry" about the win32 Q-gears release. It wasn't someone at Square-Enix, nor was it a C&D. It was, however, one of the original PC port programmers who wishes to remain anonymous.
As much as he like what we were doing with the project, I was strongly advised to remove the data that was copied from the FF7 PSX disk. I agree that this is probably the best thing to do.
I'm pulling the win32 releases and purging them of the binary Square data. This means that q-gears will no longer run "stand-alone" without a PSX disk.
The good news...
I'm getting a license for an installer that will prompt for the PSX disk when you install q-gears on a windows computer. This will copy over the needed files, except for the movies. (We need an extracter for those) Whe I have the new install package built, I will upload it to sourceforge.
Sorry, I want to see this grow as much as you. The problem is it's a little too close to being illegal. If sourceforge or the company I'm getting the installer from finds us distributing copyrighted content, I can lose both. I hope you guys understand...
I'll post an update when I get the installer license.
===EDIT===
SVN is still open. I'll need to get a copy of the .13 code from akari and I'll update SVN with that so you guys aren't in the dark. Also, I have a copy of the .13 win32 release local here. I didn't delete anything. I'm just fixing up the IP issues.
