Well.. first of all, thanks for reading this!
If you've been reading the comments on
CSDB regarding the lack of a (english) community or hub or whatever you like to call it, then you know what this is all about. If not, here is the short version:
There are currently no official software development going on for the Retro Replay. The Official Cyberpunx ROM hasn't been updated for 3 years now, and it has come down to individual enthusiasts to release patches to fix the most critical bugs. There are a lot of people who bought the Retro Replay, who are eager to start developing for it, but the lack of documentation and a source for information and tools quickly gets you in a dead-end. Furthermore there is no obvious source for RR related releases and only a few can be found on CSDB for instance. Apparently pioneers such as CountZero and others who led development in the beginning lost interest due to the lack of feedback. Well, it's perhaps no wonder as their work never reached the crowd!?
To make a short story even shorter, my intention with what you see infront of you, is to create something together with you guys, a live source of information to help fuel creativity and development for this great hardware!
This forum is only intended as a bootstrap for activity. Maybe I'm all wrong and this place is not needed, or perhaps it is. It's up to you to decide.
So, please - Your ideas and thoughts are important!
