The more I keep thinking of it (and reading the comments of people who haven't understood a single bit of the idea behind the thread), the more I think it is a great idea. The key here is not "I *have* to donate" or "my money goes away for crap I don't want", the key is the payment of very...

While anything that's helping in honoring homebrew devs is a great thing, there are a few problems with that: - Nobody would pay 100 quid for a premium badge, the amount would need to be significantly smaller than that, like 20e for the "best" membership. - People need incentives other than the...

Sorry guys, i feel that this is scandalous. Apart from the fact that it's still WIP and many things are subject to change, can anybody tell me what's wrong with the graphics? The art looks quite good to me, in the good old pixely kind of way, not unlike old Genesis games. Furthermore people seem...

There has hardly been any bounties in the past, so "they don't work! devs choose what they want to do themselves!" is a nice excuse for being cheap. If there were proper bounties, not something like 30 quid for a work of multiple weeks, I can see them working.

I was just about to shout "first sensible thread in ages!" when I read about the N64 emu idea. Let me put it this way - not that you'd get instant wealth by releasing an emulator to the so called community, but you're definitely on the brighter side of homebrew life. While I'm no emulation fan...

Right! Let's legalize spam mails then. After all, you have the option to ignore/not read them. Seriously, too much noise hurts any medium.

All the inhabitants of Jičín, CZ.

If you'd spent half as much time leaning to code than you spend on making up absolutely ridiculous topics like this one, you could actually be a valuable asset to the scene. This way, it seems you're still missing the "et".

Of course you can convince more musicians to do music for you if you decide to pay them. That is not the question. However, If someone in the gamepork dev scene decides to do a freeware game, chances are very slim that he's ready to shell out cash for the music - he'd simply use something he can...

Excuse me if I'm too lazy to sign up to another forum so I can participate in a discussion, that's why I'm answering here. I agree that it might not make a huge difference to a game developer (especially if we're talking homebrew, not commercial indie games) if they're looking/listening through...

It's not stupid if you're french or if french is your native language. After all, keyboard layouts grew out of a necessity (read up on typewriters for an explanation). So there's no stupid one "by design". And apart from that, even if there were an AZERTY version, would it hurt you?

While this certainly isn't a bad idea, there's one problem with it - if you're uploading your tunes to let the devs select them, you don't have the "I'm crafting the music especially for the game" situation which I personally always preferred. That's why I never participated in that other place...

What is the point of you posting in "General Talk" instead of the marketplace? Is it part of your twofold plan of getting more attention for your ebay auction AND an insult to the people releasing "crappy" homebrew?

Well, A_SN tried to sell his gp2x port of my cave copter game... Needless to say that I wasn't happy with it. Since I'm german, I just drove over to him (he's french), and he surrendered. That's why you can play cave copter on the 2x for free.

Obviously, we haven't talked in a LONG time - last time there wasn't even a girlfriend! Anyway, best of wishes for you and your family from me. BTW: Am I the only one who noticed the right hand going all "live long and prosper spock style"? Nerd kids... ;)

Why code emulators at all? They're notoriously boring.

Dear diab0l, since you prefer to make out with your new girlfriend instead of checking out IRC, I'll use the forum here... Last night, there has been a short incident on #gp32dev, where someone obviously thought I'd be the compo dude: CODE 00:23:57 <r043v> hello :) 00:24:15 <r043v> i just see...

If anyone would donate a new Mercedes to me, I'd possibly use it to drive to the supermarket. The donator(s) would get, say, a dozen eggs each time I'd drive to the grocer's.

There's only one thing I can add: Yuck Fou!

Right, people invested in the platform. But they barely invest in the dev community. If you buy a console without commercial game support you can never be sure that there'll be support for it as long as you wish or as long as it's financially interesting for the developers. The only thing that...
