Here's yet another chance for all the PSP and DS coders out there to prove their worth by making an excellent homebrew game/application and win a few prizes at the same time! Zion from our forums has announced that his website, Zionmax, will be hosting a Coding Competition for PSP and DS coders this year starting today. The Zionmax coding competition is a little different to other competitions as the prizes are not brand new consoles but retro consoles in mint condition that cannot be purchased new in shops. Here's a rundown of the prizes:Dreamcast

1st Place

Sega Dreamcast Console with 18 Games + 2 Controllers + 2 Vmu Units. Games included: Sonic Adventure, Sonic Adventure 2, Jet Set Radio, Virtua Tennis 2, Resident Evil Code Veronica, Virtua Fighter 3tb, Metropolis Street Racer, Silent Scope, Virtua Striker 2, NFL Blitz 2000, NBA Hoopz, Capcom vs SNK, Sega Smash Pack vol1, Ikaruga, Speed Devils, Crazy Taxi, Shenmue 2, Soul Calibur.

2nd Place

Nintendo64 Console With 2 Games + 1 Gamepad + 1 Memory Card + 1 Rumble pack, Expansion Pack. Games included: Legend of Zelda : Majora's Mask & Perfect Dark.
N64
3rd Place

The competition guidelines state that the homebrew applications must be new or updated releases, must not contain any copyrighted material and one user can have a maximum of 3 entries. Entries must be submitted to the ZionMax coding Competition submission forum before November 1st 2006, when the competition will end and judging will begin. For more information on the ZionMax coding competition and full terms and conditions visit the forum announcement thread.

i look forward to seeing the awesome homebrew apps we'll see after this competition, since the summer contest generated some great stuff. I can't wait to see what this contest has to offer. I hope we get another surprise breakthrough in high-end console emulation like gpSP after the summer contest but we shall see

I would enter this but I really don't want any of the prizes. You can buy any of those systems on ebay for 10 to 15 bucks so I have no intrest in an eight to ten year old system but good luck to those who enter.

Because it's not.

I'm guessing the only thing that can be made in this length of time is a minigame. Unless someone with a lot of talent gets on the ball right now.
