keeping something to yourself is not gatekeeping. It's only gatekeeping if I were to go out of my way to attempt to slience others from sharing that information.I agree with you, but at the end of the day, that's gatekeeping it.

We'll have to disagree on that one. Just the definition of it is, "the activity of controlling, and usually limiting, general access to something."keeping something to yourself is not gatekeeping.

An my point to you is, yes, do what you feel is right because there are no 100% right answers here, just opinions. I may not agree with everyone's opinion here, but I sure as hell do respect you and yours.that's a good example of the other side of it.
To my original point: I'm not saying releasing conversion info is good or bad, all I'm saying is that when I discover something, I personally consider the consequences of that information before I share it.
you all know I've released a lot of conversion info and helped a lot with other's conversion efforts. But there are also some things I've discovered that I will personally never release because it would break my heart to see the effects it would have on the community.
I've always interpreted it as the act of filtering public information when deciding if it should be re-distributed to another audience as described here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gatekeeping_(communication)We'll have to disagree on that one. Just the definition of it is, "the activity of controlling, and usually limiting, general access to something."
That's fair as well. All terms now have what I consider negative connotation because of how online arguments have evolved.I've always interpreted it as the act of filtering public information when deciding if it should be re-distributed to another audience as described here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gatekeeping_(communication)We'll have to disagree on that one.

in other words it's the act of filtering the information that you pass from one source to another, not the act of filtering information that originates from you.
there's usually a connotation that the gatekeeper is deciding who is "worthy" of seeing the information. But maybe my understanding is more colloquial and not textbook.
I wish. if had any of that information you'd see me building the world's largest arcade with all the fat stacks of cash I'd be pulling in.It's not like you've figured out a source for clean renewable energy or the cure to male pattern baldness and you're keeping it yourself because you have stock in oil companies or Rogaine... OR DO YOU!!?!!?!
That's gross I get people want to make money but I wish they would put that effort into a profit venture that that produce a tangible benefit rather than just siphoning cash out of the system.One person (not on Arcade-Projects) whom I know actually sits and waits, researches and tries to predict the next popular and soon to be in high demand arcade PCB; ready to pounce on any opportunity to deplete the market of said PCB so that he may stockpile and sell them at inflated prices. Drying up supply and artificially inflating pricing.
I swear, I DO have two PCBs of Guardians of the Hood, but only because one is still broke that I'm trying to fix. It has nothing to do with the rumor of the GotH conversion to Primal Rage 2 that's been on Twitter...I think it wise to keep certain information limited. It's only a small minority of people with selfish desires that ruin things for the larger community however those few people inflict great damage.

The fact that it's premeditated really rubs me the wrong way.
leaving out steps seems kind of cruel. there are ways to relay all of the information while still requiring someone to do the work, like I did here: Converting Ah Eikou no Koshien to Gun & Frontier (Taito F2 Hardware)I think that if i find more in the future i will hide a crucial spot to the guide, if people really wanna have that, they must put some effort in it. No more copy/paste from here.
the prices are unbelievable these days. some people say it's a bubble but I don't know. I can't imagine someone who overpaid $500 for a game today being willing to sell it for a more reasonable price tomorrow, if prices do come down it will be slowly and over the course of many many years IMO.I've seen literally SHIT, speaking about retrogames, being asked for prices that i would never imagined 20yrs ago.
Careful on that Mister talk- I did this back around 2005, give or take, with mame and sold my complete collection, which was enormous. Now, starting back collecting a little over a year ago or so, it hurts my pocket to think about what I had and what it now takes to get to that place again, which will probably never happen. By the way, I too like the idea of a private share group, just not sure how it would work.It's only a bubble in the sense that once we start getting old or dying, or where we downsize our lives, the value will plummet.
Look at pretty much all collectable markets. Values drop when the demographic that collected them loses (or dies) interest.
When will that happen? No idea. I love PCBs and cabinets, but MiSTer siren song is drawing me toward it!
Could work by limits of posts, something like around 150 for a minimum entry, and small fee (maybe to help bigger projects here) so the people who share can have access to a "free" copy (so they gain something back for it).By the way, I too like the idea of a private share group, just not sure how it would work
Agree with that 100%Could work by limits of posts, something like around 150 for a minimum entry, and small fee (maybe to help bigger projects here) so the people who share can have access to a "free" copy (so they gain something back for it).Basically anything that can discourage people who "float" here just for that.By the way, I too like the idea of a private share group, just not sure how it would work
You can't have one foot in two different shoes (don't know how this sounds in english but should be clear enought haha)now THAT is gatekeeping.
If one shoe is larger than the other you canYou can't have one foot in two different shoes (don't know how this sounds in english but should be clear enought haha)
