A Few Search Questions About Yasu

I’m beginning to see just how useful the Mint stats add-on can be. I’ve been able to keep track of search terms that visitors use on the site — both coming from external engines as well as locally. It’s an awesome package, and I can’t recommend it enough. If you have a site that you manage, Mint is definitely worth the $30 investment.

Anyway. I’ve decided to answer a few of the search “questions” which I think stand out, mostly because of the individual who I’ve watched desperately search the various Google language localizations over the past few days hoping to still find a live download link of Yasu 1.3.9 — which was the last Tiger version I made available for free. While it was interesting to watch at first, it seems finding it has become an obsession for the poor person. This is to help them out.

  • Sorry, dude. Yasu 1.3.x for Tiger is not available at all anymore. There’s only one existing disk image left, which was burned to a CD and is somewhere in a box in my garage. I doubt you’re going find it anywhere else on the net. I have no plans to make it available.
  • Windows users; this is **not** the Yasu application you want. If you are a user of that “other” operating system, and you’ve ended up here looking for a Yasu that lets you hide your SCSI ROM reader so you can play games without properly registering them, this isn’t what you’re looking for. Don’t even bother trying to download it, because you can’t (anymore). My Yasu (the original, mind you) is a Macintosh only application.
  • Finally, there is not a version of Yasu for OS 9 (or Classic). There’s simply no need for it.

There you have it. Only two versions exist — 2.0.x for Tiger (which is shareware at $3.50), and 1.0.3 for Jaguar and Panther (which is still free – but no longer under development). Hopefully that answers the questions posed via search about Yasu.
