He's called me a German troll in the past, that's why I know he is implying me again. Back when I released the files for SFII and Lethal Weapon 3 Rappel had a group buy in my colorization threads. That seems to be why PinSP keeps thinking I'm German. That or he thinks the DE in Wilmington DE stands for Deutschland instead of Delaware.
I don't care where end users get their pin2dmds , I don't make any money on the sale of the hardware. I do ask for donations for my colorizations BUT I release them publicly *including* the source code so people can learn and customize. For me its been worth it because I think it helpped ScottyC slippifishi and others learn how to color games on their own.
I would totally color games for ColorDMD but they haven't hired me for any so this is the only way I can color games, plus they looks neat on my vpin.
Quoted from rubberducks:
I am not affiliated with German Gaming Supplies -- Also, that's not strictly true. You said Rappelbox paid you to colour some games. Albeit I know he then tried to stiff you re: screen orders (as with so many others) ...
Rappel did hire me to color Godzilla so that he could sell displays for Godzilla users. I don't feel that makes me an affiliate of GGS. I was merely contracted out to color a game.
I feel like an affiliate is some who either works there or makes money from either hardware sales and/or referrals; and I did neither.
The only real difference between Godzilla and any other colorization is that I was paid upfront to do it by a particular end user ; and I left it up to him to release the source. The end user in this case ended up being the owner of GGS. If you wanted to hire me to color a game and pay me in advance, I'd do it and I'd let you decide to release the source as well. I wouldnt consider myself an affiliate of you either.
