TheGHOST GH custom DVD tool

Postby problues99 » Thu Dec 11, 2008 4:26 pm

This contains the original post. FOR ALL FUTURE REFERENCE, GO TO THIS POST:
TheGHOST on Scorehero.com




TheGHOST

Here it is, the first public beta release of - TheGHOST - brought to you by SciFi, Humour4Fun, UnsteadyCarrot, GameZelda and me, Nanook.

Consider this an early Christmas present. ...Remembering that it's not polite to complain about things people give you e.e

The applications contained in the release are all built around TheGHOST core. The core contains all the functionality of TheGHOST and can be used by others to write GH applications. The code will also be released when everything is stable.

Enjoy.
