What is Cdilla, Bonk?

Cdilla is a licensing system that "phones home" too much for my taste.
Some consider it Spyware, some don't.

Apps that use Cdilla or its descendents that I know of:

Turbotax
3DSmax4
3DSmax5
3DSmax6

http://www.computing.net/security/wwwboard/forum/10352.html

I consider its behaviour unacceptable and I will not use products that are controlled by it.

My chime in...

With the new tech that has been introduced post op, it would be far more practical to start from scratch. It would still look and feel and play the same, but the code would be new to reflect the overall increase in programming technology since the original code was written. I am sure things could be done better. Perhaps even well enough to break the 6 player limit in multiplayer. I predict SFC is not by any means extinct, it just going to take time, decade + or more. All good things in all good time.

I'm not sure I like that idea...that sounds suspiciously like make a Ultimate Gaming Machine Only request, and that would take it out of the reach of a lot of SFC fans(like me).

I'm probably missing something, but this doesn't feel right. If there is new technology, why can't we take advantage of it now, while at the same time providing a way for older computers to play the same title? Or would that be like making two games at once?

Athalon 64 3200+
Radion 9600 Pro
1 GB Ram
80GB 10,000 RPM HD
DVD/CDR Burnner
5.1 Surround Sound

$1400.00 including shipping.

You just gotta build it oyurself... it's not that hard to do.

J. Carney · « **Reply #189 on:** June 17, 2004, 05:27:10 pm »

Yeah, well, like I said, shipping was included in that price and I didn't have several months to string it out... I bought this all the day I got my boots off upon returning to Alabama. Total for the parts was about $1200, the rest was shipping and $100 to my buddy who helped me build it.

PS- do't remember now cause I threa away the box, but my 9600 has the 256MB of ram and the TV tuner (didn't need but got anyway). I might have quoted a lower price piece.

I dont want to get banned, AGAIN, so I will keep my opinions to myself. Odd to see a moderator defend a blatant troll however.

And then proceed to expand upon the prior post, all the while admonishing any SFB'ers who might respond to the post that attacked US in the first place.

One good thing about SFC3, and 762 KNOWS whats comin...

RE-VER-SE!!!

There are trolls in this forum? Thanks for the heads up.

Exactly, $1400 isn't something I can drop on a dime. Not to mention mum is happy with an ancient 200 Mhz laptop.

Granted, I'm on 700 Mhz, so I can't preach much.

I have seen parts for very cheap, but other things demand the money, like food and rent. I probably could build it(I've fixed many parts on the comp I have right now...modems...hard drives...etc.).

Trust me, I'd love to have your comp. I just can't afford it.

LOL... yeah, I know about money being a pro.

THe only reason I had the dough is that Uncle Sammy wouldn't let me go anywhere to spend it for a year.

J. Carney · « **Reply #197 on:** June 18, 2004, 06:09:04 pm »

Yeah... sure I got a new truck and a kick-@$$ box out of the deal, but was that really wortha year of not being able to go out and find some impresionable young freshman and take her home for a night's worth of good old fashioned corupting? Edit: though I am now getting old enough I have to chase post-grads.

You make the call!

You know a topic like this always descends into SFC I, II, OP vs. IV. Being an old SFBer, I was terrified that SFC IV might be good and depart from the SFB rules. What I did not expect was a lack of quality. The campaigns were brilliant, but the finish of the game, music, voice-overs, and such were so poor that I felt the game was slap in the face. It never ran on my computer. The fact that it departed from SFB, was merely a dissapointment. The low quality standard for SFC IV made me angry. Very angry, indeed.

Please, don't confuse my feeling toward SFC IV as merely being that it isn't a continuation along the lines of the earlier products. I feel it was so poorly executed that it should not have been released. Yes, I have gone on rants about the SFC IV, but not because it isn't SFB.

There will be an SFC GAW, I just don't know if it will be in my lifetime.
