guys, this bullshit needs to stop. if you find a bug, share your findings (and file a github issue) instead of trying to make a fast buck.

technically this also violates the open source license which requires you to distribute the source for any modifications you make to the original.

Correct Clone U33 PLD/Chip/PAL/IC V10 for Quapple Quadram Quadlink Not Like onGlthub a‘ retro_devices (439) 100% positive - Seller's other items - Contact seller PR A 71283A USs $19.99 Y yxyiy orBest Offer Condition: Used ® “Correct U33 PAL chip Clone for Authentic Quadlink CGA Picture Quality” ‘ Quantity: ‘ 1 ‘ 5 available
Item description from the seller 1 piece U33 PAL chip Clone for Authentic Quadlink CGA Picture Quality. Works. This chip provides identical quality to the original Quadlink CGA picture quality because it does not have the bugs present in the open source Quapple Github PAL jed files. These bugs degrade quality of the CRT image. In case you have an original Quadlink card or the chip from this listing you can compare the games/graphics looking better. Tested on a real Quadlink card with CGA monitor. The IC's batch code, or brand, or version could differ from the pictured. These are genuine vintage ICs -- not relabeled/remarked with soldered pins Chinese chips that are flooding ebay! In case you need other 16V8/20V8/22V10 chip(s) programmed, don't hesitate to contact and order them instead of the listed one. To be shipped from EU. Don't hesitate to ask questions -- | have a lot of vintage PC items from the same era. Thank you for reviewing this listing.

@tubetime I'm not sure I entirely understand what's going on with this listing.

I don't need an ELI5, but a bit more context would help me to understand better. 😅

@tubetime get one, hack it, publish fixed jed files. Done. (:

@tubetime The description looks like eBay AI generated nonsense.

This means I'm also not sure if it actually has a bugfix.

@tubetime It would be funny if it turned out the person was just cloning the original and so the open source license was not violated but the copywrite on the OG fw was.

@tubetime It's a fairly niche hobby, why ruin your reputation in the community for such a low amount of money?
