[14:48] <grogbot> [discord] <tommcewan.> Unfortunately, I can't remember exactly where, but I'm sure I saw it mentioned somewhere in either the forums or on the wiki.
[14:49] <grogbot> [discord] <tommcewan.> Unfortunately, I can't remember exactly where, but I'm sure I saw it mentioned somewhere in either the forums or on the wiki. I distinctly remember being very disappointed because I'd been hoping to finally replay The Gene Machine one day; the IOC games are quite fun too. (edited)

[14:50] <grogbot> [discord] <gu3> If you remember where you found this, please feel free to DM. Until I can verify this, I plan to continue working on it.
[14:51] <grogbot> [discord] <tommcewan.> a reasonable stance 🙂
[14:52] <grogbot> [discord] <tommcewan.> sorry my memory is so terrible!
[14:53] <grogbot> [discord] <gu3> Hopefully, if that's the case, we can rediscuss with the original owners. It seems the original engine was made in assembly and it could be a good idea to have a portable version of it. I don't see any good reason not to do it in fact.
[14:57] <grogbot> [discord] <tommcewan.> Hm, only thing I can find in a quick search right now is this old 2006 post by someone called "clem" https://forums.scummvm.org/viewtopic.php?p=15421#p15421
[15:00] <grogbot> [discord] <tommcewan.> But that itself is also basically just an "I think I remember this" post; clem appears to have been a tester at some point but threre's nobody by that name showing up in the Discord search.

So who knows, even if it's true the IP holders could well have changed their mind in the 20+ years since that post! (edited)

[15:13] <grogbot> [discord] <gu3> Thanks for all the digging, maybe @sev____ remembers? 🤔
[15:16] <-- Scummette left irc: Server closed connection
[15:16] --> Scummette joined #scummvm.
[15:33] <grogbot> [discord] <sev____> well, it was a weird interaction. We enquired them about the original sources, and got a responce "No, we will not give it to you, and don't you dare!"
[15:33] <grogbot> [discord] <sev____> so (a) they have the sources (b) their "barring" us from REing it is something they cannot legally do
[15:34] <grogbot> [discord] <sev____> this, whenever somebody completes engine for the IUC, we just do it
[15:34] <grogbot> [discord] <sev____> and I will not be surprised, if the IP right owners eventually use our reimplementation for putting the games back on sale 😄
[15:49] <grogbot> [discord] <gu3> Do you remember it was Sony or some of the original team members that wrote the code?

[18:21] <grogbot> [discord] <eientei> Is there a list of games where the IP holders have "forbidden" us from REing the games?
[20:00] <grogbot> [discord] <ticokh> I don't know even that possible. Look what happening with N64 an Gamecube Nintendo games. I think if is any legal way Nintendo would sued all of zelda and mario dinamic recomplie what start appear in past years but looks they can't do anything...

[21:24] <grogbot> [discord] <invwar> they cant do much, as long no content from the rom is shared
[21:26] <grogbot> [discord] <invwar> the code belongs to nintendo, but you can reach same goal also with newly written code
