Hiya.
I have been messing around with homebrew for years and have really enjoyed watching all the changes and advances that have come. One of the most interesting and exciting developments of late, for me at least, is the ability to have wifi in games in apps on the DS. However, I understand that for a lot of HB developers constant and long-term server access and space may be an issue.
My suggestion is this: GBAtemp should support wifi homebrew by donating server space to homebrew games and apps. This would be good for a number of reasons:
Having one single home for all high score tables etc would encourage people to play homebrew wifi titles and thus encourage developers to integrate wifi tables and stats into their games.
A long-term and stable home for all the potential games out there. Quake DS or DooM tourneys anyone?
Maybe this would encourage the guys at WFC Status to incorporate more HB like OMalone has been.
At the moment there is a lot of great stuff happening in the homebrew scene but it is a little disparate. It would be nice to have an online 'Mecca' of sorts - like Nintendos wifi page but done properly! GBAtemp has a huge population wouldn't it be great if we could build a huge, friendly and unified community in the HB scene?
I know that I have only a few posts under this profiles belt and that I may come across as some overzealous newb but this is not the case. I have created a new profile as I have a new email and thought I'd start afresh. I originally signed up a few years ago and have posted more than a few times...
If money is an issue maybe we could have a HB donate button or sell t-shirts or other incentives...
What do you lot think? Wouldn't it be nice to actually find someone to play online DooM with?!
