How is this "stealing 3DTV Play software" when they're clearly just trying to make it work? Theres no evidence that they stole anything. What the guys were doing was like buying a spoiler kit for a car and cutting a piece of the base away to make it properly fit another car, or breaking off the headphones of a Sony HMZ they owned so they could use their own headphones. Am i missing something here?

I think AndrewF posted it on the wrong thread. It was well over a month old.
Lord, grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, the courage to change the things I can, and the wisdom to know the difference.

It seems Andrew is deliberately conflating two totally separate issues, the reason he stated for closing that thread is quite ironic really, the emulator wouldn't even exist if Nvidia hadn't tried to exclude users with non certified displays, it was never intended to be a 3DTVplay hack. It has nothing to do with the OSD issue anyway, people have been asking for that to be fixed for years, its pretty obvious why they haven't done it. As usual Nvidia's policy will back-fire on them, I know of many people who only bought a 3Dvision kit because they already had an old CRT display to try it with, many then upgraded, but now all these sales are lost.
The SLI patch is another great example, if nvidia had realized their chipset business was doomed years ago and opened up SLI to AMD at the same time as intel then the SLI hacks would never have happened, and they'd have sold a load more graphics cards. Now the hack is out there and some poor driver developer is taken away from important game optimization to devote their time and energy to adding counter-measures, another work-around is found a few weeks later anyway, and so it goes on. One day they'll work out that not only are they wasting their time, but alienating some of their most loyal customers in the process...

The only "hack" in there is mine. It also has nothing to do whatsoever with stealing 3DTV Play software. Maybe I should sue Andrew for libel /wink.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=';)' /> Besides, the only thing I did was swap a picture in a file in the exact same way as a previously posted way to change crosshairs. I doubt 3DTV Play software is that easy to get out of the files, if it was, the whole 3D Play thing would be trivial.
