Updated the site. The Paypal donation link didn't work with Internet Explorer. Fixed that now with a little workaround.

Liking the video! I'll donate later but I'm just waiting until PRG Starter can also make my morning coffee! :p

Seriously though, I'll donate a couple of quid when I can get near a real computer. It really has made my life a lot easier. Oh, and my mother can do it too!

Thanks Boray for this! It's a killer app - if you already haven't, you should write to the VICE team.

I second that... although I suppose you would be requested to license it GPL (or whatever VICE project is aligned with).

Their files are hosted on SourceForge, so even if it is not included upstream with their project because of conflicting licensing, it would be at the very least a justifiable add-on in a contrib area.

another question is that VICE is written in C while Boray wrote his program with Visual Basic 2008 if I'm not wrong...

I would like to keep PRG Starter as my own closed source project so that I have full control over it and can update it whenever I want to. But it would be great if they would put a link to PRG Starter from http://www.viceteam.org/ so maybe I should write to them about that. They have never answered when I have written to them in the past though so I wouldn't hope for anything...
