Umm... you attacked my patch kiddo...
If you were going to post details, why didn't you do so in the first place rather than try to get people to be impressed of patching a few bytes.
I'm no one's "kiddo".
msg #1: I said "Two ROMs need to be patched, 6E and 6J."
msg #7: You said: "Why 2 roms? You can do it with just 6E." and "yawn"
msg #8: I said "Nope, if you don't patch 6J then there is the possibility of Pac-Man getting stuck above or below the left tunnel entrance. Also you didn't change the difficulty."
msg #10: I posted my patch and attached the binary
msg #16: another user reposts the simple patch and says "double yawn"
msg #17: I again post why the simple patch is well simple
msg #18: You basically accuse me of using someone else's work and say "Go look at the names who contributed to the disassembly you referenced to make the mod." as if they're great and I'm not.
msg #19: I let you know exactly who you're messing with.
msg #20: You said "Experienced developers should be smart enough to use available resources instead of reinventing the wheel -- that way it's a 5-minute job."
msg #25 You said *pat on the head*
How about a proverbial kick in the nuts ? Keep in mind I did explain why your patch was incomplete and you decided to start a pissing match with me full of condescending comments, presumably out of jealously. Well it turns out you messed with the wrong person. Bottom line your patch is amateurish, it's incomplete for the reasons I stated and you didn't know it. Facts are stubborn things. Now go eat crow and shut up and next time don't start pissing matches with people.
It's because of people like you with crap attitudes that people don't want to share stuff.
