Quoted from schudel5:So are the animation updates for this thing officially dead? It's been 15 months since anything has been updated and uploaded to the site. Is there a way to pass the torch onto someone that can grab animations from DMD games and continue on with creating new .imgc files?
Are you missing any particular games? Let me know if we've missed anything.
Quoted from lurch:Yeah it looks like everyone has given up on this...
linus/torbjorn look to have passed off the website to someone else (links are broken, firmware has received no updates, facebook page removed, etc)
_j_m has stopped producing the kits (though he is still my hero for doing this in the first place!)
That said, I think we should start an underground movement to get the animations running on generic hardware (something like: http://goo.gl/7f4Vkn) so we can keep this project moving! The image file is simply a RAW data file with I'm guessing some assembly language telling it where to start playing from. Should be fairly straight forward to do this on our own.
We're still here. I'm currently moving the shop to a self hosted alternative instead of Tictail which we used earler. Biggest problem was that Tictail ran some kind of sales giving away discount codes that I did not approve, so this is a way of having everything at one place (shop, blog, FAQ etc).
I think the firmware/animation updates has been fading away since there's not much issues reported left to fix, and almost all games are now available in the image. I also think Torbjörn has his hands full with his regular work, and that could also be why firmware/product updates has been stalled.
The reason why the Facebook page was removed was that I needed a personal break from Facebook. I created a "fake name" account just to manage the Run-DMD Facebook page, but then someone reported that account (joined two groups and had no friends linked to it) so it got deleted instantly.
I'm still here, and will answer if you send me an e-mail, so the Run-DMD is not abandoned.
Both Edge, White and Pinball is in stock, and can be sold through e-mail until the new website is released!
