GBA issues?

caffeineaddict · 2002-10-16T08:43:27

I am starting to make Gameboy Advance games lately since that is the newest system for gameboy''s, I was wondering if I make a game using the "homebrew" approach with GCC and all the other utilities, and I try to find a licensed publisher to publish my game when i''m done, would it be legal if they just took my code and put it in the "official" dev kit or whatever they do for final compilation? Or do you have to develop on the development kit from start to finish? Also, anyone know of a rough estimate of the odds of getting a gameboy advanced game published are seeing how there aren''t a whole lot of developers.

Hi!

I wrote to metro3d:

If I develop a GBA-game using unofficial development kits, gcc compilers,... - is it possible for you to distribute such a GBA-game ?

and got the following answer:

If you got a publisher, they would give you a kit, then you could
publish. We''ve had several developers do it this way. At the time, however, GBA is doing very poorly, and Metro3D itself would not publish a GBA title without a lot of shine and/or a license.
