Re: [gbadev] Re: Bill in US Senate may make gbadev illegal unless you act now
I went ahead and did email my state reps...2 of which were co-sponsors of this
bill (as I mentioned before). If (and probably when) this bill passes we would
still be able to distribute demo/freeware roms w/o the correct headers but just
think of the other doors this could open up. You better believe that the Big N
will be pushing for even more if it does pass! :( Hell I haven't even begun to
program anything for GBA yet and by the time I do it all would be illegal w/o a
license if N had it's way. (I signed on to the list in hopes to gain knowledge
of how/where to start :)

Hi, I so not agree with you. From what I've seen I'd hate to do GP32 games. It's just not suitable for it. It's an obscure piece of hardware from some unknown...
