N64
EMULATOR CONTEST
Contest OVER!
Funds have been transfered to the PJ64-X author. What did he do with them? He made a donation to Rice for his excellent graphics plugin (which is what the port relies on) amd a equal donation to
www.emulation64.com at jabo's request, in respects to the usage of the PJ64 sources. I want to personally thank every person that helped make this happen, as this was the push for the mountain slide that is yet to come.
Guidelines
Purpose
To motivate developers to successfully port a N64 emulator to the xbox with full graphics, sound, controls and saves.
Guidelines
GOAL 1:
Initial release:
First release will be a 'proof of concept' release. It will play a 8MB cart (such as mario64) with full sound, graphics, controller, and saves. GOAL must be met within 6 Weeks (June 9th 2003) of the contest start, or money pool can be dispensed back to donors upon request. After proof of concept goal is met, developer will recieve 20% of the contest's money pool.
GOAL 2:
Second release: Will have a 16MB(such as Banjo Kazoie) cart working, with full sound, graphics, controller, and saves, within 3 weeks of completing goal 1, or the rest of the pool will be forfeit. Upon completion 30% of the pool will be given.
GOAL 3:
Third release: Will have a 32mb(such as zelda64) cart working within 4 weeks of completing goal 2, with full sound, graphics, controller, and saves, and the rest of the pot given as final compensation.
How to Win!
In order to persue a legal solution to this project, you cannot provide direct XDK compiled code. If you have completed a goal, you must send me the complete sources as so i can personally validate them, without stepping on any legal issues. Sources will be made availible to the public, in compliance with any license agreements made under the opensource emulators that may be ported.
Compensation for each Goal met will be awarded to the author after project sources have been released to the public for FREE.
Contest Notes
A winning developer has the right to remain anonomous.
Note: The top ten donors will get their names/nicknames in the credit list of the emu.
