And I inspired this topic :mrgreen: But they already have a resources topic leon... maybe a kind admin can move it over there... Or this can be one of those topics that gets lost way down under all the other topics, because it's not stickied!

More resources here.
This guy was writing a book about the subject until Nintendo caught wind of it. Now you can DL the whole thing for free and get the source code for $12USD

The problem is most console manufacturers make their money via licensing fees for the games made for the systems. Homebrew = profit loss in their eyes, and unfortunately we live in a capitalist society where money is everything...

On the internet, it's common to quote someone and change a word or two. It makes for a wittier comment.



EDIT: Looks like someone else already posted Jonathan's book. No need to be redundant.

No, unfortunately, as in "Unfortunately rich assholes horde all of the money while people are hungry and homeless and dying."

It's a good thing we live in a capitalist society, but the downside is that there are greedy, compassionless rich people.

Capitalism isn't the problem, it's the corruption that affects some. ;)
