Title: Downloading VB6 Aurora in 2023?
Post by: computrr on May 20, 2023, 03:25:53 PM

This might sound weird but I want to have a copy of VB6 Aurora, but all the download links on here are gone now.  Does anyone know where to get it, or have a copy they can share?

I think the only way you could get the VB6 versions would be if Steve or someone else rehosted the downloads. Steve I would not anticipate being interested, and I don't think anyone else on the forum would want to do this as it is Steve's program, not ours to be distributing.

You might like to check out Quasar4x (http://aurora2.pentarch.org/index.php?board=245.0) which is a VB6 clone, feature-complete except for Invaders I think, and should run a lot faster than the VB6 version ever did. There are a few bugs here and there but I think the last release had fixed almost all of the ones reported.

Yeah go for Quasar, it's great if you want to play VB6 Aurora.

Does anyone have the VB6 version? I could host it for free. It is just a few MB and I could put it on an external HDD plugged into my router. The upload speed would be a couple megabytes/s only though.
