About DotEmu

DotEmu.com platform
The DotEmu.com platform provides a full-featured digital distribution service dedicated to old games, written 100% in Drupal.
The development of the platform began early 2010, and went live in the form of a beta website 26th April, 2010.
From then, the website passed through numerous improvements and bugfixes.
This is a really complex Drupal website, involving more than 80 modules, built upon the following major modules :
- Drupal 6.x
- Content Construction Kit
- Views 2.x
- Panels
- Ubercart 2.x
- Simplenews
A lot of custom work was involved in bulding the whole system, including 3000+ lines of PHP code as custom Drupal modules to fit precisely our needs, and a complete custom theme, derived from Fusion.
If there is some interest of the community, I will be happily providing a few slides about details and pitfalls we encountered during development and enhancement of the platform.

I have to be honest, it's
I have to be honest, it's hard to read the site because of the background color. I would prefer to see white, but a very dark grey of 303030 or darker / or black would be easier to read with the orange and white text.
