Why are there two 2nd prizes of different value? It should say 3rd prize :)

I've never coded anything for GC. Someone should port SDL to GC, it's available in gclinux but a native version would be better.

[wraggster]

whoops my mistake :P

[PeterM]

Ooh, exciting news, cheers Wraggy! :)

Someone should start a seperate compo that's a contest to see who can make a Wii exploit the fastest/best. That would be awesome.

One of the reasons I bought my Wii was the hope of having some good interactive homebrew games. :thumbup:

Yeah, since the moment there are less than 30 homebrew games released for GameCube:

Unfortunatelly this has been other GC compo which failed. I'm very disapointed I'm the only one who submited an entry. Well, at least PeterM released his Quake port :) though forgot to submit it to the contest.

Wraggster, what about the winners anouncement??
