i prefer playing new developed games instead of playing emulators. playing the games on their original systems is much more fun. super mario bros. 3 on gp32 with nester sucks imho. its muche more fun on the nes or snes or gameboy advance (ive played all the versions), cause its deisgned for special controllers... but thats not a discussion on emulators in general i think... so, i found the competition very nice and the contributions are good in general. its about keeping people interested in coding for gp32, and thats what it did.
