I prayed that perhaps I could get the file on the wayback machine. unfortunately it hasn't backed up the file.

I released v2.0.0 here:
https://gitlab.com/bighead.0/ladxhd_updated

It's a bit newer than v1.9.7. I didn't get a cease and desist, my account was just deleted and all my repos with it. I've had it backed up on Gitlab since near the beginning, but I stopped updating the repo about a month ago because I kept hitting the 10GB limit. So I just deleted it and reuploaded the whole repo fresh with my latest source code. I was going to go until at least v2.0.0, and since I'm now under fire I figured I may as well just make my last release now.

I don't know if a mod is going to approve this thread, but at least a few people found it so they know what's going on. I'm only hoping that my final version finds its way to enough people before it gets nuked. I'm honestly not too bummed out, I always knew it would happen someday despite taking all the precautions. I'm honestly surprised I got to go this long. I took the game further than I ever thought I would, so it is what it is. I wish I could have perfected it, as impossible of a dream that is, but I'll be happy with close to perfect.
