+save2600 Posted August 29, 2010 Share Posted August 29, 2010 (edited) Great, now Soulstar is going to wind up another $80 sexploitation Jaguar "tape" to invest in. Where's the sign-up form? lol Edited August 29, 2010 by save2600 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neo_rg Posted August 29, 2010 Share Posted August 29, 2010 The next thing to do is extensive playtesting to make it is all there, the 2 player option is as far as I know still not working, but it may be replaced with a 1 player trained option, or we will try to fix it. But if everything else in the game works as it should then there could be a chance of a release. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't know how it is in your version but in the one I have, there is sometimes a problem with switching weapons and the ram and that other weapon ( forgot how it is called) It isn't that important and does not occur every time, but if it is something fixable, you guys might want to take a look into it aswell.

+CyranoJ Posted August 29, 2010 Share Posted August 29, 2010 (edited) Ta dah! The booter CD contains NO, NONE, ZERO, ZILCH, NADA code from Soulstar. Can't object to that, now can they? Edited August 29, 2010 by CyranoJ 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
busterm Posted August 30, 2010 Share Posted August 30, 2010 So is this actually going to be released? If so thank god!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Willard Posted August 30, 2010 Share Posted August 30, 2010 nice to see that a complete version of SS may get a release afterall! Good luck with whatever you guys decide to do with it, the JagCD def. needs more games and tramiel-era protos are always very interesting 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+remowilliams Posted August 30, 2010 Share Posted August 30, 2010 Well I can now safely say too bad this didn't get released back in the day, it'd have been an awesome addition to the otherwise rather sad JagCD libray. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jaguar_fan Posted August 30, 2010 Share Posted August 30, 2010 Wow, great news!!! I´m definately "in" when it comes to a release... Where´s the end of the line? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So the logic is to release a free proto, and charge for a disc that makes it work? Seems perfectly reasonable and legal to me. AX 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AX Unfortunately that doesn't fly in a court of law. You can't sell sports tickets at face value and charge $500 for the cup of water that comes with it, so I can't see how this would be any different.

Tempest Who sells sports tickets with cups of water? Bizarre analogy. "comes with" is the key. Nothing would come with form what I gather. There would be a disc for sale that allowed anyone who owned the proto to make better use of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tempest Posted August 30, 2010 Share Posted August 30, 2010 Who sells sports tickets with cups of water? Bizarre analogy. It was a thing they did around here when scalping sporting event tickets. They got around the anti-scalping laws by selling the tickets at face value and then offering something common (generally a bottle of water) for a large amount of money. They thought they could circumvent the law the way but the courts saw it differently. Tempest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the.golden.ax Posted August 30, 2010 Share Posted August 30, 2010 So then it's just a boot loader, and you go "find" the ISO of the working game somewhere. Since the bootloader is homebrew, and doesn't contain any Soulstar code, so long as the name, IP, and game code are not with it, I can't see how anyone could get hurt. It will be interesting to see what happens. AX 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tyrant Posted August 30, 2010 Share Posted August 30, 2010 Correct me if I'm wrong here though, but Reboot aren't trying to make a lot of money out of this. I wouldn't be surprised (although obviously can't speak for them) if they didn't release it free or at cost. The issue isn't how much they're charging but if they have the legal right to distribute the game. If they're not distributing the game, but simply a loader-disk for the game, that's gotta be a legal grey area at best. The closest analogy would be a mod-chip, but they're made and sold for profit, and live in a grey area in many parts of the world. I haven't researched it, but I would imagine most of the legal challenges to mod-chip makers is that they are profiting from the facilitation of copyright infringement, which would not be the case if the loader disk were freely available. Still, this is all rather academic for now, and IANAL anyway, just offering a few opinions. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Willard Posted August 30, 2010 Share Posted August 30, 2010 (edited) I think the closest commercial release that is similar to this idea is the Bleem! discs released for the Dreamcast. They didn't contain the actual game but 'let you play it.' I'm a bit confused now though, if the patch is for the image already floating around (with corrupted graphics) then will it solve those issues? Or are you going to do a 'free' release of neos image and sell the patch? Edited August 30, 2010 by Willard Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can't compare that to a complete copy of Soulstar, whether or not it gets released!! TT was nice to see, but a complete copy of soulstar - that's AWESOME.. for Neo! 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
