Oh boy....... it's from Nitsche and Henne, not ?
I thought you got the permission. Some already tried to contact Nitsche and Henne but failed and I was happy the roms for this jewel are now available.

I remember some talking about a copy of an eprom of a mephisto machine in a german chesscomputer forum. A guy from Saitek appeared and claimed that this is a violation of copyright. Since Saitek holds the copyrights of the Mephisto machines this guy could take legal action against you and also against sites who link to you. I know that it wouldn't hurt anyone and I don't care if you offer it for download.

Looks like I am now the bad guy again for claiming copyrights... Well I couldn't care less...
I am not worried. Before H&G went into bankruptcy I made sure I got a paper with signature that all programs were mine and I did not have any obligation to them any longer.

BraiNKilleR's EMU news seems to be a serious, official download site for Mess...

You mean something else? Why don't you post the link here?

You can install them in the normal way as you are used to under Arena, Chessbase, Chesspartner or any other UCI compatible chess interface.

It's nice to see the 2 old rivals playing hundreds of games against each other now in a graphical interface.

Thanks,

Is Rebel 9 available as a UCI. That was one of my favorites.
I am sure it's technical possible to make all old DOS programs UCI and/or Winboard compatible. But like the guys that created the MESSTINY interface that will be a work of years. But great fun it would be......

Sorry, but now I don't understand you anymore!?
You wanted me to post a link to 'official' Mephisto ROMs for MESS, and that's exactly what I've done with my hint for googling.

So what else do you expect from me?
Should I download all those ROMs from this site, make a package and send them all to you via email?
Or should I even come to your home and install them for you? :mrgreen:

Why don't u just post the link? Google gives different search results for different people. You should know that.

Is this Brainkiller site is really what you mean? What a trustable site :lol:

Hmmm. Is this a joke or something?

I get a logo which says "REBEL 1980" in place of the standard ChessUSA logo.

Must be my machine or something.
