OffTopic > Multiboot compo anyone?

regarding request for MBV2 compatible software:

I think this calls for a multiboot compo.

The trouble with competitions nowadays is that in the eyes of organizers and sponsors, GBA is dead, long live Nintendo DS.

Yes true. It's a pity that I couldn't enter in the last few compos, I did put some time in but they were all at critical times in my course.

So, if the GBA is dead in the eyes of developers and companys why do companys still make games for the GBA even thought the DS is out? I, myself have a PSP but always notice the game commercials and it says the DS and GBA logo at the bottom. The good news is some people still make GBA homebrew I found like 9 people still finilizing their Atari 2600 emus.

Yeah, we should raise awarness about it, too bad you can't use MBV2 with DS. Let's host our own compo.

GBAMP v2 works fine with DS. A lot of people own a DS and a GBAMP v2 but don't own a SuperCard, M3, or NOR card. They can still use the compo results.

If we were to have a multiboot compo, would it be a good idea to have divisions for both CF entries (for GBAMP v2, SC, and M3) and non-CF entries (for MBV2, XBOO, NOR cards, and emulators)?
