    I added fast-forward to the emulators (except DOSBox, which might have one itself?) - good for things like Shining in the Darkness RNG battles; I rewrote the image export settings page to be a dialog box - that used to confuse people a lot; Few more variants of ROMs for Game Link profiles...

    Hi all. I received unfortunate news today. FastSpring, who've processed payments for the GC website since v1.0 have suddenly changed the terms of our agreement, requiring a large sum of money to be paid to continue to use their service. Due to relatively poor sales via the website in recent...

    There isn't really a Windows 10 'only' version, AFAIK the software still works on Windows 7. What you might encounter though is that Valve have, I believe, decided to stop Steam working on Windows 7, 8, 8.1. This will stop Grid Cartographer, along with everything else in your library, from...

    No, it's not able to turn a mesh back into a map file. That would be ... challenging, and if the mesh was edited - very challenging !

    Sorry I missed this message. There's no in-app upgrade button, I couldn't get one to work reliably. However the good news is once you reached v4 (or bought the software since I changed over to "year dot month" version numbers) there's no longer an upgrade fee required within the "edition" you're...

    Without wishing to lose a sale ;) -- Grid Cartographer isn't an auto-mapper, it's a drawing tool. So if you want to draw maps by hand on 'digital graph paper' then I and a few others think it's pretty good for that. As for its suitability for this particular Wizardry, I know that a couple have...

    You're right, there isn't an s on the link above, but the site still works. That's a good thing. There's no private info being transferred on the gc.com site, but feel free to use https if you prefer. FastSpring is a secure payment processing company, I've used them for years and have had many...

    You're wrong, check your link. GC.com supports https if you want it, which links to FastSpring which uses https. Well dang why didn't I think of doing that ... every Summer and Winter sale event for the past 5 years
