PGP: Pinnacle Game Profiler.

[†Captain†Alister†]

Does anyone have any information as to what took place here? This was the BEST Controller program I've ever had the pleasure to use. Last I heard the person who made this was VERY sickly, I fear they may have died. But I never heard anything. I'll Link the site here, but be warned it's a dead site so it's very broken.

I miss using this and I wish someone would buy this tech so it can live again...


If you have any information I'd very much like to know what took place for this to die the way it did.

I purchased the app shortly after he passed away so someone at the sites forum told me this, but he passed without getting his code and such accessible to anyone so when he passed on it went with him.

So he did pass away... I had a feeling that was the case. Sad day, I really did love using PGP. It was actually my first program that helped me start understanding how to make PC gaming controls fit on a controller. Yeah there was Xpadder but that was still far to underdeveloped for me at the time. Well thank you for at least clearing that up for me.

Another question if you're able, what happens to the program now that it's been lost to the void?

Considering there is no one to really do anything with it (the code is lost) and no one alive is around to pursue anything with it... it's out there for anyone to do anything with, I guess? Anything specific you had in mind...? lol

Well yes actually. I'd love to acquire it and bring it back to life. But if the code is truly lost, should it be brought back, regardless? Steam's BPM does this same thing PGP did. (If not better.) And steam has it built in-house. So sharing profiles is a simple link share. PGP was a download for getting controller profiles, or you just made your own for a game. I'm not sure if it'd be worth while to do anymore.

That and it is an external program being ran while you game. Not sure if that's a good thing for the PC haha. (Even though steam is doing the same thing.) There are other programs that do what PGP did, but again they all run in the background as well. That and I'm not sure if the other ones are as powerful as PGP was before The Grim Reaper paid it's creator a visit. So I'm stuck thinking "what if." Because gaming has already come so far since PGP. I guess I'm actually just lamenting here. crap, my bad.

I downloaded the site before it got taken down and ran by hackers or they bought the domain after the owner died. I have both original programs that were on the site, however I dont have the sourcecode for them. I have most of all of the .pin configs for the game profiles it used for it.
