Just checked the companies website and most links are dead.

I have the IPS for disks 1-6, what happened to the last 2?

He stopped and quited the scene for real, UNLIKE some {moderated} who keep saying they will quit just for fun. He also sold all his msx stuff. Rumours say he {moderated} the family of the last guy who asked him about msx.

{moderator says: no trolling}

XakFreak: read lionelritchie's comment as (in short) the guy never got to translate the last two disks. Yeah, it's a shame.

Actually he did most of the translation, and was just giving some final touches to release it, but when he quit the scene, because of the brazilian trolls (you know who they are), he just deleted everything, sold his MSX itens and don't want to hear anything about MSX anymore.

@ SLotman
That's the 'official reading', I know, but I always found it a bit strange...
what can 'trolls' do, besides saying some stupid stuff ?
Bad talk about your enterprises may work demotivating, but how can it take all the fun out of playing games one likes, translating them etc.
It's as if some really weird stuff must happen before someone ends his project being that close.

@DemonSeed:

To make a long story short, Adriano has taken abuse from several people over years (from people who criticized his work, to blunt personal attacks), and (as we all) got more and more responsibility in his life, and just didn't have more motivation to dedicate a lot of time to do things for MSX and on top of it all deal with trolls.

Same thing happened to Ademir Carchano and others. There's so much one can "ignore", until the "fun" gets lost in the middle of attacks.

Bottom line is, Adriano has moved onto other things, and as I heard, he is happy. We lost a great guy, who knew a lot about MSX and who helped a lot of people... Sad

So no, it wasn't "one thing" that happened, but a lot of things, until he said "enough is enough", and called it quits.

Bottom line is: Don't troll ppl, otherwise they may get sad and abandon the scene forever?
As you said XXxxxxx, ppl get more and more responsibility in life. We grow up and we should learn how to deal with trolling. And even trolls know when they're not being funny anymore.
Not all MSX scene members are spoiled childs that doesn't want to "play the game" anymore if others don't keep saying how great their work is. Criticism (good or bad) is just part of life, you know?

And the rule is the same since forever: Ignore the trolls and they'll stop pushing you. Act like a spoiled drama queen and you'll give them hours of fun.

*PS* I'm a troll. And Letterman is great!

Ahh, Ademir was never trolled. I really really appreciate all his work, but at the end of the day, he took peoples money and never delivered the products he promised.
From deep of my heart, I think he just did that because he's a marvelous technician, but a terrible manager/entrepreneur BUT that does not change the fact that ppl lost money!!!
