Hi,

you do not need the source code for all your game components to pass the
Nintendo lot check. One of my registered members of HAMlib submitted and
passed Nintendo lot check for a commercial GBA game. Commercial developers
usually buy the source code version of HAMlib in order to get full control
over eventual bug fixes / additions that need to be made to the library.

Subject: Re: [gbadev] HAM or not to HAM?

If you are like some who plan to get the game released you do have to have
all the sourcecode to get it through Nintendo I have heard. Ham is great but
I don't know if they add the sourcecode for all their functions. Then again
I could be a n00b who fell for an urban myth cuz I have no idea if they
actually require all the sourcecode :).
