We reserve the right to refuse or disqualify entries, which break any rule(s)!!! [*]In case of VERY OLD GAMES (+10y), which do not seem to have a copyright holder anymore and which are not distributed commercially anymore, we can make an exception, but you must be still able to proofe that you tried to get in touch with the responsible copyrightholders. [*]Keep in mind you OWN ALL RIGHTS to your production, this means you are also fully reliable for it. By submitting your production you declare that you did not break any copyright.

Prizes: [*]Prizes can not be paid out in cash [*]In case of entries having the same jury-end-score, the entry which has been submitted earlier will be the winner. [*]In case of teamwork, the team-leader has to make sure the prizes are split proper within the team itself. [*]The special prize is given to the person with the most "ports". If there should be a person with equal amount of ports, the one who was sending in things fastest, will win this special prize. - The amount for qualifying is minimum five ports/conversions!!!

#1 - One GBA Micro (new, unused) + One GBADEV.org 2004 Compo Cartridge (new, unused) + One real-cartridge with your winner entry!

Entries: [*]Submit as many entries as you like and have an extra chance to win the "special prize" [*]No Splash-Screen required, you keep all your rights - even no need to mention PDRoms. [*]The "ported" homebrew NDS game should be "brandnew" for GBA, already existing ports which were available for the public before 2nd August 2007 are not allowed, unless they are heavily major updated! [*]You are not allowed to spread your GBA entry to the public before the official results! [*]You grant PDRoms and its staff members the right to spread your entry freely (we won't make money with it). We have connections to other important scene pages, so we'll make sure you get proper attention for your production [*]Entry should run on a REAL GBA [*]Write a README with information about your game, this text will be used to present your entry, also add a screenshot! [*]Please state out, which NDS game you were porting and send the NDS binary along (will not be published)! [*]Package each submission in ONE compressed file archive and send it to shahzad.sahaib(at)web.de AND kojote(at)pdroms.de (just to be on the save side, due to agressive spam-filters - each entry will be CONFIRMED after max. 2 days) [*]Entries can be updated by sending an updated archive ANYTIME before the deadline.

PS: If you feel left out: Release a NDS game first and then "backport"/"redo"/"convert" it to GBA and release it with this compo :)
