lol, I knew that would happen. The Mac version is included in case you wanted to share the game with any of your friends with a mac without having to re-download anything. The exe itself does'nt work with Mac I knew that. There really isnt anything I can do about this, I use windows and linux and that's it, sorryShmitz said:One thing about Deluxe, is that the link on the tribute site says it contains both PC and Mac versions. However, referring a friend to it, he said it wouldn't work for his Mac because it was an exe file. Is there anything you could do about that for the next version?

Although I still don't understand why anyone even needs a gigantic zip full of everything anyone ever created for Cave Story, when you can just have a website with links to each part. (Click here to download the PC version, here to download the remix project!) Seems pretty wasteful to me.
I dunno, there's a lot of junk in that zip that's hardly any useful to most people. For instance, while the squid game may be cool, it's not CS and may not be what some people are after. Ditto with the artwork and music. Or maybe I just want the artwork, or the music, for a personal project. Yet I'd have to suffer through a 40-some meg downoad just to get them.ShInInG PhAnToM said:Well, I would be to lazy to search for onehundred and one things![]()

It's a real shame that it's going to be a torrent-only huge chunk of jumbled files, frankly... It seems like it would be much more convinient just bundle up related material as different zips (which wouldn't amount to much more than 4-5 zips really - hardly a hundred things to sort through!)
Well, whatever. I already have the old version so I don't see why I shoould sit through another 40+ meg download anyhow (the truth is, people with older versions are going to have to redownload 40 megs of stuff they already have to get a few megs of new content - this wouldn't happen if files were split up, or at least it would be much less of a problem.) But it seems to me things should be convinient for the users, and not a pain to download (especially for dialup users - or at least DSL users) just because the webmaster doesn't feel like uploading things... Not trying to come off as a whiny little bitch, just exposing my views on this, really.
Peace.
Osmose said:No, no, he knows what he's talking about. I'm assuming his prejudice against torrents is trouble getting them to work, and admittedly, I've had that same problem a few times, although it's my experience that if you let a torrent sit at 2 kb/s for a half hour it'll pick up to a nice 50-100 kb/s.
What he's saying is that having a giant file, no matter what the filetype, is kinda bulky and is hard for people who only want a part of the file. 56kers will have a crappy time trying to get the music and artwork, while already having the game and stuff, because they have to download everything else with it.
