I saw this logo at the beginning of Rick's X-Mas and a couple other homebrew games. I did a search on google for it but the main web page was down and all similar pages had something to do with GBA development. Sooooo... what is it?

It's a sound system. The main page at http://maso.r0x.free.fr/ seems to be working fine for me. Not all that technically impressive compared to Apex Audio System, or as polished as Krawall, but still pretty nice. Kind of reminds me of my own efforts at creating a sound system, except he doesn't scrap every attempt just cause it's not the fastest ever made^^' I finally gave up on beating AAS and decided to do a quick and easy mixer that takes about 25% CPU to mix 16 fully pannable channels. Designed and wrote the whole thing in 4 days after about a month of messing with other ideas... Experience helps, I guess. And I might be able to cut a few percent off of that with a partial rewrite of it. Still working on the music player though, so I'll get that done first.

Try http://maso.r0x.free.fr/. It's free for non-commercial use if you display the logo on startup and inform the creator of your using it. It also has some sort of 'cancerware' license for commercial games.

Wow, people pounced on this post pretty quick.

Heh, yeah. Thanks for answering my question, the website works for me now. For one reason or another I needed a slash at the end of the URL.
