Very nice find, Andrew80k! Free shipping too! Honestly, I would recommend that anyone who thinks they will be playing the emulator for a while to come should pick this up now. If you may only be playing it for a short time from now, you probably shouldn't bother, as SoF probably won't be fully playable quite that soon. But, at 6$ on a brand new retail copy with free shipping, I think it is a good idea to pick them up while supplies last! At the very worst, you are out 6$, so it is hard to argue with that, lol.
The only reason I would even consider pushing that people start buying it now is because it is only a matter of time before it is nearly impossible to get a legal retail copy of just like Titanium is now. And even then, it will almost certainly cost more than 6$ to get a legal copy (shipped).
I think the fact that not many people actually have SoF yet is part of the reason I have been solo working on the project so far. The stuff I have been doing isn't rocket science. Sure, some of it is a bit complex, especially for someone who has no idea what to do, but I was able to figure it all out up to this point. I am persistent and consider myself to be a good trouble-shooter/problem solver, so that helps alot. But as you can see, my knowledge of this stuff is very crude. I am certain that others would be able to look at it and figure things out in no time that would have taken me considerably longer. One example is getting items to work. I have already laid out the structure of how the info needs to be sent. All someone has to do is figure out how to send it properly without effecting how the other clients handle items. I can probably figure it out eventually, but someone with more knowledge could probably do it pretty quickly. I don't mind doing any of this work, but with help from others, it can all get done much quicker. Packet structures are pretty simple for the most part. I am still planning to get a simple wiki page up that explains them enough that almost anyone with some technical skill can understand.
And before anyone asks, no I won't be giving refunds to anyone that buys SoF in the case that it never gets completed!
