I saw this yesterday, glad you posted it smealum! Homebrew lives!

Too bad it's not an open source comp, but the prize money is pretty good. ^^

I entered with DSDaft. I don't think I will win, but it's great to see people encouraging homebrews developpers, with great prizes I hope we will see new homebrews. The idea to accept all retro platforms is pretty cool too, we don't see homebrews for these platforms often.

i'd love to see a few specific ds projects updated. i would also like to see some psp emulation updates and some new psp homebrew! i hope this gets more publicity. we really need a great round of homebrew this summer!

What do you mean THIS Summer - there were quite a few good 'uns last year

Although I agree - those from the previous years seemed to of 'dried up' & it would be nice to see them updated...

i wasn't commenting on their summer coding compo. what i meant was that during this summer i would like to see some homebrew. so far its been extremely slow with few things to care about.

Yeah same here, I just started working on something but I really doubt I'll make it... and even if I do, it probably won't be great.

That happens from time to time... I wouldn't worry too much about it, it'll probably be back up in time for the deadline.

Edit : ...and it's back up now.
