I actualy Googled up one of the programmers not too long ago; Bill Ferrer, he's still around and ticking, but he looks like he's 50 or so and has a short grey beard and mustache. He has a website and it appears he's more interested in geneology rather than programming. :?

These are all important questions.

We have been in contact with Eric Repomancer and Dan Kegel. Both have offered advice on MW2.

I have contacted Activision regarding obtaining an offical license to the MW2 source code, but I have not received an answer. I'm making progress with accessing the MW2 file formats, but a few open problems remain: textures, videos, room definitions for the shell, and there were some problems remaining with the SFL sound files. I am confident that these problems can be overcome. Once they are solved, I can start recreating MW2 completely. I would prefer creating levels for MechVM to modding MW2, because if we would get there, it would be easier.

If MW5 would mean that I can't continue working on MechVM, then I don't want it. However, if MechVM reaches a point where this would be an option, I could imagine negotiating about commercial content with the copyright owners.

At last! My collection is complete! Ghost Bear's Legacy finally arrived in the mail and am enjoying it more than I thought I would. I'm playing them on my VirtualPC, of course, but as I'm trying to get them on my DOSBOX on VISTA, my only issue is: when making the image, should I make a game disc and copy as if it were protected, or not?

Congrats! :)
But no, you just make a regular game disk copy. It's not protected or anything.

Well, it might not always work on non protected.. there does appear to be some protection (who knows) on mercenaries for many people... it does not work on non protected.

That's odd... I had no problem with my .IMG under non-protected.
