if its so bad, you fix it

Maybe, but it's also a functioning copy of the emulator that doesn't require a paid user account to download and use.

I would like to note, though, that:

> git clone git://pj64-emu.com:8090/project64.development/ project64
Cloning into 'project64'...
fatal: Could not read from remote repository.

Please make sure you have the correct access rights
and the repository exists.

...does not build confidence in ones' open source release.

I'll try again later. Glad to hear it's just a problem on my end and not the release being a hoax, though

i found a thread that some one had with a different repository.

You'll need to upgrade your git client to be at least version 1.6.6.

That error is caused by older versions of git not understanding the
Git Smart HTTP protocol

not sure if it applies to you

Doesn't look like it should, but my Git binary comes from GitHub for Windows, so the actual problem may be related not just the Git release but also a library or something.

[zilmar]

yer I am not sure ....

this is what I get.

D:\bug>git --version
git version 1.7.11.msysgit.1

D:\bug>git clone http://pj64-emu.com:8090/project64.development/ project64

maybe there is something I have done wrong with the setup. Not Sure

Client issue of some sort. I was able to clone the repo just fine from another machine.

And finally on-topic, thanks so much for deciding to release the project source again. I hope it pays off for you in terms of new contributors, but even if it doesn't, the educational benefit of being able to peek inside the guts of an emulator such repute as Project64 is incredible.

I am glad you got it working, cause I was not sure how to fix the problem

if you compare the original source of the main emulator to this version you will see the code is very different. A lot more cleaner and easier to manage. Hopefully you able to learn something off it.

Also managed to clone successfully. Thanks for putting the source out there, Zilmar.

Was this announced? I thought the source was staying closed?
