News Carmack loves homebrew DS

John Carmack has publicly said that he thinks the DS could be a great starting place for young programmers if Nintendo would sanction homebrew.

 

created the engine in 4 days thats pretty good going

 

suppose it's not hard for someone like carmack to create a 3d engine for something that has the same graphics as the original gameboy

 

Lol, you mean the same graphics as his original game engines? If not, whats it like to only see in monochrome?

 

In what way is that 'ironic'? I would say it is quite fitting!

 

Yeah, I suppose you're right.

Hm. A reader correcting a writer? How ironic...

 

Nintendo are selling the DS hand over fist, everyone is developing for it - Not a chance. More likely that Romero will make a new good game and then marry Carmack than Nintendo opening up the DS.

It's a good idea for programmers, sure JC. Mind you what about the already open source free to develop for GP2X??? Thats closer to a normal development environment as it's linux in the first place rather than ninti's internal code. Maybe if you plugged that Carmack we'd get more developers.

 

4 days? What a beast!

And heck, why have Nintendo unlock it? Just unlock it yourself. Funner that way.
