The Winner Is Merumeru


Decided to do something diffrent than the normal give away. We are doing a raffle for a DS-Link. Info on the unit can be found in the review here: http://www.scdev.org/forum/viewtopic.php?t=5984  It is a slot 1 mod that uses microSD cards. ALSO http://www.realhotstuff.com/ has donated a Kingston 1gb microSD card to along with it. The tickets for the raffle are $5 a piece. There is no limit to how many you can buy. If you buy 5 then your name goes into the drawing 5 times making your chances of winning better. The raffle is open to anyone worldwide and of course shipping of the unit is free to the winner. ALL procedes from the raffle will be donated to the homebrew developer Lick. He is the creator of DSLiveFTP, DSLiveJournal, and my personal favorite DSLiveWeather. For more information and to check out DSLiveWeather look here: http://www.scdev.org/forum/viewtopic.php?p=44186#44186 To buy tickets send a paypal to paypal@scdev.org and include your username in the paypal comments so that I know who to add to the drawing and then reply to this post letting me know you entered so that I don't miss you. This is a chance for us to give back to one of the many homebrew developers that take time out of there personal lives to not only make homebrew for the DS but also share it with the public for free. Lick has done an amazing job on DSLiveWeather and has welcomed input from the public on not only bugs, but also welcomes feature request that people would like to see in future updates. Thanks and good luck to everyone who enters the raffle and a BIG thanks to Lick for the work he does in the DS Homebrew scene!!

     Other sites have started to pass the word around about our project so BIG thanks to all the sites who have joined in and supported our effort to give back.

Hi everyone! DeVS told me about this raffle and I was positively surprised! I really didn't expect to be rewarded.
I want to thank you all for your support, especially DeVS! I will continue to do my best and create more software for the DS homebrew scene!

I'm really honored,  :wink:

The reward is much deserved.  You've developed some really awesome homebrew!

[DeVS]

Were always looking to give back to those who contribute to the scene. Thanks for all your work, and we can't wait to see whats coming down line!

[onekelly]

DevS, This is a great way to use equipment (I assume that was donated) to drum up funds for those who develop great homebrew software. Lick is very deserving of the funds! What a great way to inspire others to do the same, with developing and donating. Just think if other sites did the same.

Lick, welcome to scdev!

[DeVS]
