It's Official: ASPack software is Dead

[evlncrn8]

well sf5 is meant to be ditching the drivers and going ring3 with heavy vm usage, so i guess that increases files size, so they need a packer.. for 4.8 they used upx, but i guess they either broke something with the gpl license or needed something 'extra'..

Thats some bad english, lol

Still feels the the end of an era.
I hated it when Bitarts went under, just because I loved ripping their code apart, same with VBox (Back when it was Preview Systems Inc.)

One things for sure, Armadillo isn't going anywhere nor is SafeDisc. Guess its good of time as any to come back into the scene, been afk with some personal drama.
