Hi all, i know this thread will probably hit a nerve of some of you, but what the heck, if i don't ask then i probably won't get anyway!
What with downloads being more populour each year and Lynx games having low production run rates of homebrew games, would any of the developers of said games be willing to sell their games in a 'rom' (such a big word i know!) format to play on emulators on machines like Pandora, Wiz, GP2X, PSP etc, of course loads of other machines but these being the most suitable as they also handhelds and suit the Lynx emulator perfectly....
A couple of points though, firstly i'm not sure how technically possible if would be to somehow encrypt a rom, maybe hardcode a game into a Lynx emulator as was done with Sonic 1 on the Gizmondo in a prototype as an example.
Secondly, if this isn't possible, then of course there would be the problem of the rom being bandid around for free, of course if the game in question is still in production or still selling then i would understand the developer not wanting to release it, but what if the game had its run sold out and there was no chance of another run?, maybe putting the rom up for sale for say something like £5.99/$9.99, i know myself and others who have asked for homebrew games would buy some of these games, surely thats at least a little extra revenue even IF the rom did get leaked out eventually, though personally Atari fans are some of nicest guys i would be supprised, i think most of the rom sites wouldn't be bothered by a few homebrew releases to add any new Lynx games, more busy adding cd titles nowadays.....
Anyho thought i'd suggest this, it's maybe been thought of, maybe someone might take the leap and see what happens with a title...if it works out then who knows?
Cheers Guys
