Re: [Gc-linux-devel] ViperGC & gc-linux

[Groepaz <gr...@gm...>]

yay, we've made a first little step towards viper+gc-linux... that is,
tools to make use of the viper from within linux (and without wine
mayhem)

http://hitmen.c02.at/hitgc/hit-vflash-0.2.zip

this is a recode of the original flashtool, works in windows and linux.
source and win/x86linux executeables included.

http://hitmen.c02.at/hitgc/hit-makevgc-1.0.zip
http://hitmen.c02.at/hitgc/hit-makevgc-1.0-kidsave.zip

this is a recode of zipzaps MakeVGC tool. should work on pretty much
any OS with a c-compiler, source and win/x86linux executeables included.

!!!WARNING!!! if you think aquiring (part of) the ipl cypherstream by
downloading it from the internet is immoral, illegal or whatever else
you dont like, DO NOT download hit-makevgc-1.0.zip!!! use the "kidsave"
version instead, which is the source only, and has the cypherstream
removed. (you can dump it yourself if you have a viper, instructions
are in the viper documentation).

having said this, i would be seriously interisted if there are any
lawyers listening here who could shed some light on this - my personal
opinion is that using the cypherstream like its used here is in no
way different than how datel is using the NHL licence string for their
discs - ie perfectly legal. (just like datel needs the licence, we need
the xor cypher to create interoperable software). however i'm nowhere
near to beeing a lawyer, and it might also be different in US, EU and
DE laws. (with the EU and DE beeing less restrictive - for now and
hopefully forever :=P)
