N64 EMULATOR CONTEST
Purpose
To motivate developers to successfully port a N64 emulator to the xbox with full graphics, sound, controls and saves.
Guidelines
GOAL 1:
Initial release: First release will be a 'proof of concept' release. It will play a 8MB cart (such as mario64) with full sound, graphics, controller, and saves. GOAL must be met within 6 Weeks of the contest start, or money pool can be dispensed back to donors upon request. After proof of concept goal is met, developer will recieve 20% of the contest's money pool.
GOAL 2:
Second release: Will have a 16MB(such as Mario Kart 64) cart working within 3 weeks of completing goal 1, or the rest of the pool will be forfeit. Upon completion 30% of the pool will be given. If Author completes GOAL 1, and cannot meet the GOAL 2 requirement, the Author must release his full sources to the public.
GOAL 3:
Third release: Will have a 32mb(such as zelda64) cart working within 4 weeks of completing goal 2, with the rest of the pot given as final compensation.
Contest Notes
Developer has the right to remain anonomous. This includes the fact that the pool holder MUST respect privacy issues when it comes time to paypal'ing the pool.
Example of the pool dispention would be...
If $500 is in the pool upon completion of goal 1, $100 dollars would be given as a prize. This leaves $400. 30% of the original $500 would be $150, so $150 would be granted as the 2nd goal, and $250 as the 3rd goal is met, assuming the pot stays constant. If the pot increases as developing is being done, percentages will be based upon the increase, not the initial value.
Please keep in mind that paypal has a transaction fee, and that if money is returned, it will be minus the fee. Here is a example of a donation.
Total Amount:
$15.00
Fee Amount:
-$0.74
That current fee is 4.94% of the initial donation. Which means out of a $1000 donation, $49.40 will be taken as a transaction fee.
Note: The top ten donors will get their names/nicknames in the credit list of the emu.
CURRENT POT TOTAL (USD)
$1358.57
