Wil there be updates on the status of the donation prize money or will that only be revealed at the end?

Anyway, this sounds great, I hope it brings some excellent homebrew. Sadly, I don't have many of the other systems, so my vote will probably be biased toward a PSP homebrew even if there are some that are better on the other consoles.

Hope this goes well, good luck coders

The donation fund is a great idea and should create a lot of incentive for some really great work. Another reason why DCEMU is so great!

***wraggster*** · September 2nd, 2006, 22:27

the donators will be added to the page all the time

we will be 100% upfront with this,

The donation fund is a unique idea from me to give to the coders. any donations from a dollar to whatever is all to the good. coders deserve the credit

**FrozenIpaq** · September 2nd, 2006, 22:28

So Wragg, if I donate 10-20$ (for the better of the community, not this competition

) - will I be able for you to link to QJ?

The voting will take into consideration that the PSP/ds will get more votes but 75% of the votes are by staff and coders so dont worry about consoles with less fans.

***wraggster*** · September 2nd, 2006, 22:33

Anyone spamming this topic with anything but proper comments will be deleted and warned.

Sweet I better get back to learning to program because I want to enter this! (I dont care if I dont even get a single vote, I just want to contribute something.)
