I don't remember saying anything like this (also, this is uh...this sure is a rant).  "We're busy" because we've got hundreds of things to approve in submission queues. If we were just a bunch of freelancing goons that ripped every obscure game on players' whims that'd be hella dope but a lot of us have jobs and other responsibilities that put food on the table. This...doesn't. Most of the ripping around here is done for fun or by hobbyists. Users rip things from the games they're interested in. We learned how to do these things because we're interested in them, and...also asking people to do things for you for free doesn't really go over well.

Though now you've piqued my interest.

How on earth are you able to goof around with models and modeling when you've only just realized computers had command prompts.


i apologize for my behavior in this thread to all staff members, i was very frustrated,


guess the best answer i can give is "dumb luck" and the drive to bring new things to the community.

1. Interested into the game
2. Wants to breastfeed you with everithing
i am no pro, and to reverse this kind of thing it requires lots of time/knowledge. those ripping pros aren't getting 1 cent out of it, they are doing it for fun on the thing they enjoy the most between school/work/real life.
It sucks, but there are tons of x86 assembly tutorials, or into this forum/xentax how to reverse those formats.

like... The ones that can see this forum without problems?
If you want something quick, look at other games you want to rip that are already reversed


I apologize for my behavior in this thread, your right, i shouldn't expect things spoonfed to me.

As Kosheh mentioned, those who do actually rip content here do so for fun and focus on the games they enjoy. It looks like you started trying to learn how to do this yourself so I'd recommend you keep that up because you're right - we are busy. At the time of this writing, there are 4,373 pending submissions and that doesn't count the games or revisions that are also waiting. We have a small staff whose primary responsibility is to make sure the site continues to run and that the content that people submit is reviewed.

There are plenty of people here who might be willing to help you if you had actually asked politely instead of going on a self-entitled rant about how it's no fair that we don't want to bend to your every whim. The reality is that we don't just choose not to do things because we want to be mean and make you learn (though you should be eager to learn if this is what you're into). It's because we literally don't have time to rip every random thing that every single person wants. So when you're offered help, it's because someone might have an idea but not the hours of time required to implement it. This community is anything but selfish but you do need to earn that generosity and this isn't how you go about it.

As a side note though, if you're that desperate for these models, there's always the commissions forum. Offer to pay someone for their hard work and you might get what you're looking for without any learning required.


I deeply apologize for my behavior in this thread, i barely remember making this toxic rant but i regret it now.
you are right; insulting people doesn't get you anywhere. what was i thinking then? 

i only seek forgiveness

I'm sure the staff will tell you the same, unless you did something to get yourself banned. I don't know the whole story, but yeah. Don't be so hard on yourself.
