vectrex roms are all freely distributable nowadays a vectrex emu (do we have one ported yet?) a select choice of distributable ScummVM titles hit up the scummvm website to pick.
#Pandoras box 9d free
include a pile of Inform/Infocom style adventure games - if maintainer likes, I can provide a list of free new really good adventures
#Pandoras box 9d download
Include Gargoyle (I already ported and pnd'd it up on the download sites) just dl.openhandhelds as always - the homebrew and emus and such are there, slap some downloads of legal files there, and good to go?īefore any action can be taken, a list of candidates needs to be prepared is someone actively going to track this task? If so, they need to set up a wiki page (or something) for tracking the requests, so people know what is already in, etc.Ĭould categorize by size and 'type'/genre perhaps, since when you're talking things like Wesnoth (huge!), you coudl easily start to see people wanting to piecemeal it out (or maybe one giant torrent, and let people piece it up on their own). I'm tired and a wreck right now, but there is some merit to the idea, I'm just not sure what the idea 'should be' if at all One big 10GB torrent, or a dozen by category, or. or go and make a portal for finding all this stuff, I dunno. So if you're going to make it easier than clicking weblinks, then a big torrent. The trick is, its all just making it 'easier to find' and 'easier to install' for ScummVM, its as easy as just going to the main scummvm site, for instance. It would be pretty easy to make it many GB hell, standardize - make one pack for downloading executables, and another for data-files, so the same data-pack coudl be used for Wiz, Caanoo, Pandora, Dingux, etc. You could roll in Doom and Quake type packs with publicly distribuable levels (not using iD assets), and so on. So for 'truly legal' you have to be careful and it does limit things. ITs not a blanket thing either, since stuff like Monkey Island is actively supported and sold to this day, as well. Some countries have laws that permit 'dead software' to be converted/emulated, others do not. I'm not sure of the legality of 'truly orphaned' machines like Atari ST and most Amiga software, or most Commodore 64 software, for instance. Some emus - consider Vectrex, where the whole library is free to distribute and use (unmodified.)
text adventures still being developed and small, but many also are legally available (Scott Adams, for instance.) ScummVM, where quite a few of the games are readily available fully legally they're also quite bigĪlso consider. There is something to be said for it ie: not "ROMS" per se, but freel distributable games, there are many.Ĭonsider homebrew - your download could include, ready to use, dozens or hundreds of homebrew and open source things - OpenTTD, Freeciv, etc.Ĭonsider.
