Sega's forced the team to remove the project's download links from their site and forums.

According to site moderator "charco," the links will not be active '.'

As a result, several threads in the have been locked, although some fans aren't being shy about voicing their displeasure:

"I checked this site for v5 at least 200 times in the last year, and now, I see the download link is gone! What the f is SEGA doing? I red on the forum that we shouldn't count on the link to be restored? So I should forget about v5? Or I can ask somebody here for a private help? Hope it's OK :)"

"Come'on SEGA give US the download link!"
