Saw Game Loader thread there, so I randomly decided to show my own crap I've made my own quite some time ago. I'd open the source, but it's in Delphi and, also, a complete hacked together sh*te - stock components alone make over 9000% overhead when drawing. And, of course, all information must be entered by hand, pictures edited by hand, because I got bored as soon as it worked enough for me.
Main screen:
Edit screen:
It also plays title theme (or anything really), which is extremely annoying and can't be turned off. And it's slow (relatively), because it loads the whole flat file database (approx. 200 MB for me) in memory when launched and also saves it when closing. Talk about totally fscked up design. My hard disk loves me... not. That said, itself it weighs 825KB and the required bass.dll weighs 112 more. No runtime components needed.
It also fails to run FOSE (as in - it launches, but FOSE fails afterwards - it doesn't otherwise), for some reason I couldn't figure out.
Microsoft are already committed to making patches for Win10 due to the IoT edition, so they may as well continue to sell access to the patches they are already making
Oh goodie! We can look forward to more videos of people with these huge bombs catching on fire, exploding etc. There is a reason why most countries restrict the size of LiOn batteries, especially in air travel.
The underlying FACT that Neowin has conveniently buried is how "Notion Mail" was created from the Skiff.com acquisition.
Notion has managed to dismantle Skiff, poorly integrate some of its parts, and otherwise disregard the rest.
Ultimately, this entire chapter was predictable and the efforts to avoid it were minimal.
