I think what DinkHD really needs the most is some kind of a legacy mode (kind of like FreeDink has) where it can correctly play DMODs that use bugs from the older engines. Either that, or we need to go through and update all the broken DMODs and remove the bugs. I wouldn't quite know where to start in either case, but the former sounds quite a bit easier if there is someone skilled enough to do it.
If DMOD's are included in a .php file then perhaps it could automatically set legacy mode on/off depending on the DMOD's setting, that way the player never even has to think about whether to enable legacy mode. That would mean we'd need to go through and make sure we know all the DMOD's that have trouble running in DinkHD, though.
And really, the whole DMOD playing problems is really the only big issue I remember having with DinkHD. Although now that I think about it, does it support any kind of media files like .mp3 or .ogg? That would be a good thing to add if at all possible while keeping it's mobile support. I need to redownload DinkHD and make sure it works on my new Windows 8 computer though. Unfortunately Dink 1.08 Aural+ goes very slowly and even Freedink stutters a bit on it.
I definitely think Dink should remain free for all time at this point. With how old it is, I don't think anyone is going to want to pay money for anything we make. And as soon as they see a price tag they may not even want to check the game out in the first place. I guess if a person wants to they can make their DMOD 99 cents or something, but then probably nobody is going to play their mod.
