I don't see a point in putting credits on the website as it's mainly about the software and people will need to download that. EA games, for example, don't credit their devs outside the game files in most cases; either there's some file (usually .txt) containing the credits, or there's a "credits" section in-game. Speedrun.com and many websites don't give credit to anything too (their creators, ofc), and I doubt these sites had done everything with their 100% original ideas. At least I couldn't find anything so I may be wrong, but credits shouldn't be too hard to find.

About the legal notice, I don't know if there's a way to see when a website was last updated, but in the end, your HWID isn't even being stored. It was my mistake because I forgot to consider it, but anyway, even downloading/uploading abandonware is illegal (this game is one), it's just that their distributors don't care, and we aren't criminals because of it. HWID doesn't have many uses either.

It's still unnecessary to point out the possibility of having suspicious things, it'd be the same as saying "while not exactly direct proof of malicious intent, but something to keep in mind when compounding all other information, it was done with Windows and internet, which are commonly used by malware developers to obscure and hide malicious software". Anything can be used for good or bad, it only matters how it's being used; a bunch of sharp objects is used for surgery to save lives "but something to keep in mind when compounding all other information, sharp objects are commonly used to injury/kill people". A gun is also used to protect security guards but it's the most popular weapon for bandits. It's pointless that info, at least when it's specifically covering something and being indirectly used to induce something is suspicious.

UPX can be unpacked the way they were packed before, and the tool isn't even encrypted, which is something malware isn't interested in. "Packers are not inherently bad. In fact, they are one of many security solutions that can help protect files, data and applications. However, they are also a great resource for malware developers. They obfuscate file code, making it very difficult to locate and analyze malware on your system. Some packers use common algorithms, while others use custom code to compress and/or encrypt files" (kickstart is not encrypted).

Honestly, printer drivers... maybe it's funny to print something by remotely controlling them (I don't even have a printer btw). I'm not a programmer so I can't say much, but according to @Redhair, he was using Delphi and was dragging things and overlooking them. He can explain this better if he's interested.

With all that said, I have nothing to do with this but I want to help @Redhair. This was just a message to express everything I think about this, and that's why it's big like that. I also don't want to be rude or show superiority/arrogance, I just disagree with what's here.
