Hey guys, sorry for the offtopic post, but I was curious as to where I could find the full picture of the firey bird in the background of http://www.ultrahle2064.com/

If anyone could help me out, it would be greatly appreciated :)

Thanks, happy holidays and all that jazz.

Of course you know this bird is RatTrap's work and it would be unfair to copy past it on your website without asking permission ?

I always thought it was a nice graphic ;)

Small "yes" or "no" question; do you have any idea when there's going to be a news update for UltraHLE 2064? I've been idling, not wanting to put "inactive" (non-permanent) at my emu-site for quite some time now, but it's starting to get somewhat tempting :unsure:

Guess this means I don't have to update my N64 section until the next release :)

Oh no! Not some guy who failed high school math putting UltraHLE 2064 on his small emulation site's 'inactive' list! Anything but that!

Oops, I forgot about this thread the past few days 'cause I've been rather busy.

Actually, I already had that. I was wondering if there was a higher quality version floating out there somewhere that wasn't cropped around the birds wings. Thanks anyway, though. :)

First off, no I didn't know that the bird was of RatTrap's work, and since there's no contact page on ultrahle2064.com, the closest thing I could do to asking someone, was posting a thread in the forums here.

Secondly, don't be so hasty to judge what I wished do to with the image, big guy. My actual intention for a high quality version of it was to send it, along with the pick guard to my guitar to a local air-brushing shop to get it painted on my guitar, as two of my favorite things in life are phoenix birds and guitars (the third being goats :)

Anyway, could anyone please give me some info as to where I can get in touch with RatTrap? An irc channel or something to that affect, perhaps? Thanks.

i didn't judge you, i was just warning you because i know ratty had problems with people stealing his work and claiming it's their own... On the other hand that's how you recognize real talented people, they are always copied :p Anyway to answer both of your questions, the only guy who can have another version of this picture is his author, and you can contact him with a pm on this board (but it can take a while before he answers as afaik he's having difficulties to connect to the internet where he's currently living).

I completely understand where you're coming from, just helping out a buddy. You're also right about real talent. What's that one saying? Something like; plagiarism is the biggest form of compliment, or something to that effect.

Once again, thanks for the help and info on how to contact RatTrap, as I really do like his work and would love to plaster it onto my Fender.

Simplistic replies are sometimes needed to acknowledge someone's reply to your own personal question, stupid. :shifty:

And I'm sure it wouldn't make a difference if the 437 visitors this month who requested page views of the N64 section had the only active project with high compatibility and speed turned a crimson color just like the rest.

After only four months, you're ready to label it as 'discontinued'? UltraHLE 2064 is active, it's still being worked on, it's not discontinued. Four months is nothing. I usually wait for at least a year of total silence before I'll label an emulator as 'discontinued'. Even then though, an emulator can still return when an author gets back to it.

Edit: Where the hell is 1964 on your site? No SSE or SSF in the Saturn section? Dreamer and Dreamemu missing from the Dreamcast section? Have you not heard of PCSX and FPSE? Not a very good site...

SSE,SSF,Dreamer,Dreamemu? u must gotta be kidding everybody.

Dreamer: Not very good, but probably the best released Dreamcast emulator.
Dreamemu: Wait for Lord Cheese to get back.
SSE: Emulates commercial games. That's not common for Saturn emulators.
SSF: High compatibility, sound, still active. This is one seriously underrated emulator.

I'd take that as a compliment actually ;)

BTW, I was never going to put discontinued on Ultra2064. I categorize an emulator there as either being; "Active","Inactive", or "Discontinued". It's a strange system, but I think a three point strategy works best (for those people who actually know what it means).

Anyways, no hard feelings I hope. I was thinking of helping out with the new Dolwin website, just contacted the author via e-mail, but I'm kind of busy so I think I'll have to give it a miss. Stupid moving obligations with me and my wife before the end of December, and other important family matters.

Tell you what, I'll split the income 50/50 with you if anyone is stupid enough to pay the company 24.99 or whatever :teehee:

Actually, my wife (yes, she's a female) and I laughed like crazy when we downloaded that thing. I don't even think the user ID is right, not that it really matters. I'm thinking of a "banner" exchange program to replace it .

Heh. That'd be a bit more inviting, IMO. Most lame ass emu sites have related (pornish) banners which are a turn off to an emu lover. :)

Oh god, I hate going to a website and seeing 'scantily' dressed women trying to get me to download a spyware-filled dialer that calls somewhere in the swiss alps.
As if anyone but newbs click the banner (or someone who thinks it looks lame)

It's always a painstakingly "simple" process of pressing ctrl,alt,del and looking for funny program names written in large capital letters. I keep getting this GMT thing, for instance. Then you close the program, search for the file you closed, and send it to hell. Sometimes you have to keep closing it over and over until your delete key works (i.e. "Cannot delete. This file is currently in use"), but it eventually goes away if you keep trying.

The newest piece of garbage I'm stuck with is Date Manager. I think I got it with the new ePSXe 1.6.0, but I'm not entirely sure.
