Can remove files in dos games folder

Post by frilansare »

Just tried to play a game from ID software on your site and when I quitted the game I got out in DOS. Wondered what I could do so I tried to create a file and remove it and I could. Maybe I download the game to a virtual dos on my computer or something like that so I cant actually remove the games from your server? If I can remove games from all users then that might become a problem for you. Just thought I should say something atleast. :-O

My email adress is rikard@land.nu if someone wants to spam me and tell me Im stupid or something.

It sounds like you're talking about the games that can be played in your browser thanks to JPC. The game runs from a virtual hard drive image that downloads onto your computer. Once loaded you can do anything you want to the image -- add, modify or delete files -- and only the copy in your browser cache is affected. If you render the game unplayable, close your browser and re-open it and you'll download a new copy of the hard drive image. You can't mess the game up for anyone else.
Today entirely the maniac there is no excuse with the article.

It might be fun if you can copy the high score file of a game back to the image, so you can compete with everybody else on the Internet to get the highest score in a game.
