Compo cart pre-order! (...)
Posted by SimonB [Mon Apr 25th 15:15:25 EST 2005]

Here's your chance to pre-order a copy of the 2004 GBADEV.ORG development competition game. The game is expected to start shipping in late May or early June, but as only 500 copies are available we strongly recommend you to pre-order today.

First class postage is included in the price, but to keep costs down only orders of 5 or more are insured/trackable.

Since a BIG part of the cost is paypal and postage fee's, the price / game goes down quite a lot when ordering several games...

Pre-order Now!

Tim Schuerewegen has successfully hacked the DS' wireless mutliboot features to allow him to load custom DS much like the PassMe method by using custom drivers for Windows and a PCI card.

His post on the gbadev.org forums pretty much sums it up:

He also released another video with a homebrew demo being loaded instead:

Finally some very nice progress on the wireless homebrew front. With dsdev doing quite nicely, i hope that major tutorials will be released in the future, and this site to have links to those examples.

For now, enjoy yourselves and these videos. The future is not far away!!
