Source Code for Fusion for DOS - eduo_one - 10-28-2024
Hello!
This question may be a bit unusual, but I was wondering if the source code for Fusion for DOS was ever released?
I assume the software itself has been discontinued fully by now and I know places like emulators.com allow it to be downloaded.
I was looking into making something similar to what exodos has done for DOS but for mac classic games and after a ton of searching it may turn out to be that FUSION is the best option possible, in part because it runs under DOS and thus allows for lots of cross-platform automation and set-up.
Nonetheless, it would work even better with some tweaks made specifically for it to run better under DOSBox (although to be fair it runs surprisingly well already).
Unless the software is still in active development I assumed it didn't hurt to ask (maybe it's already been released, for all I know, or maybe it can't be released due to contractual obligations).
Of course, it would be understandable if the decision is not to release it at all.
This question is 100% in good faith and comes from admiration and love for the tool and what it enabled and can still enable. No insult is intended.

The rights to FUSION-PC were sold in 2000.
If I owned it still I would not release the source code. Everything I do is always closed source, because I create commercial products.

Thanks. I appreciate the answer and I meant no disrespect. The idea was trying to revive software that hasn't been sold for two decades since it fits a specific need that seems up its alley.
For people interested it probably wouldn't be a burden to pay a fee for the engine too, but I assumed it was completely abandoned and nobody is up to the task of modifying it so I just asked for the source.
Thanks again, both for the answer and for your contributions over the years.
