OK. I'm here to listen and provide constructive criticism (argue)

[oomek]

That's something I discovered today. I hope it becomes useful.

Suggestion 1 : get rid of MacOS support
Suggestion 2 : get rid of Windows XP support
suggestion 3 : get rid of anything 32bits (except for ARM)

[oomek]

2 & 3 seem reasonable. 3 needs a fix of nvapi bug on x64 with nvidia ( still unable to reproduce it on my machine )
Regarding 1, as a pc supremacist I claim that mac is not meant for gaiming, but still a lot of people will become unhappy.

As a Mac user of many years, the lack of software was more of a problem for gaming, than my lack of interest or its general capacity. That said, the last time I used any of my Macs for gaming was back in the MacMAME days in like... 2001. It's definitely not designed for gaming, and I've never really used them for that.

Zpaolo11x uses a Mac. He's done some good work, and ArcadeFlow makes a lot of people excited. For that reason alone it's good to keep the Mac build alive if possible. It'd be a shame to lose him. I think Verion is on a Mac as well, and while less frequent with his contributions, a lot of people are really excited by his designs. Even though he's no developer, he periodically works with other folks to get stuff built, and it's usually unique and interesting.

Hi. I just did a pull request for attract to fix a video related crash. Should I submit the same type of fix for attractplus? Are you already incorporating fixes from attract?

[oomek]

No worries, I'm going to pull your commit into attractplus. I wonder though what conditions have to be met to reproduce such crashes, because neither me, nor anyone on our discord server complained about it.

[spilinek]

That's cool. Could I get an invite to the discord server?

[oomek]

Sure, here's the link.

hi oomek.
I realized that there is no logo for attractplus yet.

If you don't mind, I took the liberty of building a new one. If you like it, I'll send you the PSD file (Photoshop).

[oomek]

Thanks for your contribution, but you are few years late unfortunately. We already have a logo.

[Wenzon-AV]

Ok, I couldn't find the attractplus logo anywhere. Now I will keep it in my stuff. Thanks for responding.

[oomek]

You're welcome. As a matter if fact we do need a new intro ;)
