It must be a very specific case of plagiarism considering that the news fully credits you with your full name and the description page links directly to your blog.

Maybe you should look up some dictionary for what "plagiarism" is? It is using someone's work as your own. If I fully credit you and link directly to the page the news about your new port was QUOTED from then it has as little to do with plagiarism as you have with good manners and civilized relations with other people.

It wasn't an article or a review. It was just a short news about your port. I didn't see any reasons not to quote that ONE SHORT SENTENCE you wrote about it in your blog, or to change it by force to use other wording. I fully credited your quote with your name and URL and that's ENOUGH for a ONE SENTENCE LONG NEWS.

What you think about My-Maemo is your problem. NO, it does NOT aspire to be a "big news site". It is a small site run by a hobbyist with the purpose to offer a Maemo Software catalog for easy browsing, and discussion forums. The other site of mine, My-Symbian, which is the oldest Symbian community site in the Internet launched 11 years ago in 1999, has 130.000 registered forum users, 380.000 posts on the forums (of which over 24.000 are mine) and its small place in Symbian's history as during over half of its existence it was the most popular existing Symbian community site in the Internet. It's less popular now as nothing lasts forever and I'm too old to sacrifice as much time on running it as when I was 25 or 30, but its past achievements make me satisfied quite enough not to feel inferior when talking to Your Majesty Maintainer Of Two Emulator Ports To Maemo.

The only intention of posting the news about your program on My-Maemo was to simply let My-Maemo's 4000 daily visitors know about it. It was meant to PROMOTE it. My-Maemo does not make any money on it, and that small revenue from ads (hardly anyone clicks these days) does not even cover the traffic costs.

I didn't expect to be thanked for posting that news, but I definitely didn't expect to be that insulted (a thief and plagiarist), either.

It didn't make sense to change/rephrase that ONE SENTENCE LONG blog entry of yours because it simply was a single sentence saying merely that the emulator "has a faster engine than PCSX but slower disk access". If quoting just that (with fully crediting you) is a theft and plagiarism then you're out of your mind.

Last but not least, I preferred to rely on a quote from your blog entry rather than an opinion of mine simply because I don't own a Playstation and hence I don't have any PSX software to try the emulator myself with, while I do NOT use illegal copies downloaded from the Internet. If you do then it is YOU who's a thief, not me.

I already wrote all the above in my reply to your email, but I see that it wasn't enough for you and you feel the need to further insult me in public.

All I can say is: boy, rethink your attitude. Insulting people and calling them thieves and plagiarists in public only speaks about what kind of person YOU are. Just porting several nice pieces of software does NOT give you the right to spit at people whose only intention was to promote your ports.

Your hostile and rude behaviour is the more sad for me that you are my compatriot and I'd expect fellow Maemo fans from my country to be more civilized than that.

Having spent last 11 years running a crowded community site I've seen a lot, but it always makes me sad when I see how some people find it easy to offend and defame others like that, for no reason.

Quoting ONE SENTENCE of his (and that's along with fully crediting him with his name and direct link to his blog). That's what - in his opinion - gives him the right to call people thieves and plagiarists in public and send them rude emails.

As if it was making any sense and difference (not to mention being DOABLE) to rephrase that short sentence merely stating that "the engine is faster than in PCSX but disk access lags". He said it himself, so what was wrong with quoting it? Really strange. He's the first programmer I've met over the last 11 years (and I've been in touch with a lot) to have any objections against quoting his own official program announcement. I guess he feels so important that he considers every word of his to be worth his weight in gold. But how can NORMAL people know it? I'd suggest he puts a copyright mark after every sentence to communicate it.

He wrote to me that I am restricted to only quote 20% of what he wrote, which in case of that one sentence would mean 2-3 words max, i.e. just the name of his and his program, PERIOD. Really funny person.

A talented programmer, and a boor in one. Wash & go.

To save myself further insults, I think I will refrain from announcing new programs from him in the future. Which is actually a shame as I wanted my Software catalog to be as complete as possible or else it doesn't make sense.

smoku ruuuuuules !!!!!!

so does this app work now?
i.e. play EVERY ps1 game at full speed?

It works lee...
But still not for all games and good speed...
There is thread on which ones run on PCSX4all

leetut its still work in progress.

regarding my-maemo site, i think its useful i check on there to see if i have missed a useful app on talk.maemo and then search it up here. But if some does not want to be listed then its fine.

this is exactly what happens with my Driver rom which is an img file aswell, Ive got scph1001 installed in home/user but still the same, anyone got any idea why this is?

rolan900d just answered this about 3 posts ago....

not all games work, check http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=47937

people are listing games they tried and if they worked or not. Hopefully in the next update or so more games will be compatable.

Sure, it's just that there are better methods to communicate it than calling people thieves and plagiarists. And repeating after the author (while crediting him and linking to the source) that "the plugin is faster than PCSX but disk access lags" can hardly be considered a theft or plagiarism, either. I really don't know how could I change such a short information to use my own words, and what for. Or how it infringes on any of his rights or property if his name and URL is on top of that news.

Anyway, I know that for majority of people here a person who brought you as nice thing as Playstation emulator is now a God so I don't really expect too much understanding.

OK, I'm outta here. Take care.

Does it work loading it with Load a game ?
