It isn't free but it is abandonware, there is also a history of it, with a response from Enterbrain as well (aka they don't care about 2k3 anymore)... rpgmaker 2003 is considered the exception... WinMugen basically isn't free at all either, but there is a justified reason why it is available, which is actually included in the zip file, etc...

Technically, if you think about it, places like the spriters resource nor any site that contain ripped sprites shouldn't be up at all, there are many things out there that shouldn't be accesible if you know what I mean.

I used the term of abandonware basically cause the 1.08 version has already been replaced even by the value one that was sold in japan for cheap... I mean, the original version of the 2k3 isn't even on sale in japan anymore by their creators enterbrain... I can take that link down though, but it will be pointless since I will still probably require you to check that same downloads site for other utilities and easy download... so I can take it down this thread, but it's still going to be in that forum section where you'll have to browse through it.

And I have been messing with rpgmaker since 2001 till now. I use a lot of enterbrain products, and I own XP and VX btw. Btw what virus? I scanned them with AVG and it didn't show any infections.

On regards the thanks for the links, no problem.

EDIT: Anyways, I updated the thread and added videos of the OpenBOR engine and a link to the main forum where you should go to download the stuff necessary for it.

I agree, but nowadays there are soo many scripts out there that bring back all those functions... they are also plug n play, so you just copy + paste the script and you suddendly have a caterpillar party effect, or an animated title screen, or a change party system haha... you deffinitely should check some of those scripts out, you'll get addicted again like in the 2k3 days man...

I was going to try it, but I have an old CPU (pentium 3 733mhz + windows 2000 SP4 ) so I can't run it, and I can't really install WinXP on this computer... it's basically rpgmaker in a different way, and you can make action rpg / platform / shooter games. It's expensive though, consumes a lot of memory as well, but other than that it's a nice system just like most maker programs by Enterbrain.

I personally felt sort of dissapointed about it since I couldn't run it in my PC but I am aiming to make a Console portable MOD with OpenBOR next year which will be a beat-em-up, kinda the type of game I was looking forward to make (not quite but close enough).

Well, there are english patches for it, but I want to say that it's coming or already came out in america haha, hold on, in some minutes I'll add it to the thread with a link to a community that is based off that maker... I'll notify you when I do, I have to get it, but I'm pretty sure it's coming in english this year (if I hasn't, I wouldn't know since I stopped bothering with it)... btw it's not called AGM anymore, it's called indie game development or some crap haha...

EDIT: I included the links for AGM (IG Maker) in the thread, I also added some video links for games made with it and other games made with the other programs that didn't have it lol.

The only response I could find about anything like that is this old 2k one.

I know about the so called 'history' I was around for pretty much the whole thing, doesn't make you giving a link for it justifiable really.

I'm not normally one to care about this sort of thing, but comparing it to sprites is downright laughable. I mean seriously, think about what you just said. While places like the spriter's resource contain copyrighted material, it's not as if you could find a way to get said material legally, like sending Capcom 20 bucks and getting a CD with Megaman sprites in the mail.

The english version is an edit of the japanese one.
If you download the Japanese one, you are doing it illegally.
If you buy the japanese one, and edit it in any way (like translating), I am pretty sure thats also illegal.
So when you download the english 2k3, you are wrong twice, the way I see it. =P
