I just got the second piece of the Tri-Force. I think I need the gloves for the next one, going to look for them - hope I didn't miss them earlier.

Most recently I have got this message.
Click me!(Disabled)
I once felt proud to have worked on this game, but no longer.

As long things do not change, I want myself to be removed from the credits.
Also I will no longer see my work as my own, but Infidelity's. Thus I will remove my entire work on that project from my dropbox and my pc.

Infidelity may profit from this game as he wishes, but I won't be any part of this, because I do not accept any valueables from outright breaking the law.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Edit: I must take back my claims. Infidelity never accepted money from them in the first place.
They did all those things on their own. As such I will not give up my work.

There is a great difference between working on a game, because you like it and would like to see a sequel, which was never done by original authors; and between selling what you made for money. We, the romhackers, release legal Patches (not roms or carts) to be used by private individuals for private use, so that they can to enjoy the new spirit brought into old games (if they own the original rom).

Imagine how we feel if then someone makes and sells carts out of our games behind our backs for a lot of money. Zelda3 Goddess of Wisdom was sold for 250 euros on ebay. The record however has Zelda3 Parallel Remodel for 305 euros (first cart available in Europe). The game was carted despite my specific message in the readme Not to do that. And it was carted and soled only 18 day since the release. This game Legend of Link was even faster (it took only 1 week for illegal cart to be made).

Now how should Infidelity and others feel. Someone will sell 50 copies only in first run for 145 dollars a piece. Believe me, this was Not planed by the authors of the game and was made behind their backs, without their approval. Plus the game is actually coauthored by Nintendo, thus we can never release the rom or cart in the first place. The patch however contains only all the changes to the game, which is owned by us, and thus can be released.

If you are wondering why we work on the game. Because we like Zelda and would like to see sequels which original authors never made. We like the work. We certainly don't consider this as breaking the law. It is because of cart makers, that our works looks illegal. The cart makers and sellers thus give romhacking a bad name.

Such actions can result only in us building in real hardware blockades, or simply make our games incompatible to real hardware and thus make it stuck in emulation only; or to simply not release our work at all (or, as you suggested, quit romhacking).
