Strmnnrmn opens Daedalus icon contest

Sony PSP - Image 1If you're a fan of Sony PlayStation Portable developer StrmnNrmn and his work with the Daedalus emulator line, you might be interested in an effort to improve the N64 emulator for the Sony PSP. Get your creative juices flowing because a "contest" has been opened for the creation of the best Daedalus background and icons!

"I've never taken the time to add icons to the Daedalus EBOOT.PBP," says StrmnNrmn. "Mostly it's just because I've been lazy (when I develop Daedalus I usually run it through psplink rather than the XMB, so I rarely see the frontend), but also because I've never found a suitable set of icons to use."

"I'd like to add icons and a background to Daedalus for the next release, so I'm opening a 'competition' to try and find the best design," continues the celebrated Sony PSP homebrew dev. "The 'prize' will be full credit in the release notes and on the Daedalus About screen (including a link to your website if you wish)."

Interested? There's no money involved, but at stake is a nice piece of homebrew glory if you win. If you got riled up, this is what StrmnNrmn is looking for:
  • Background 480x272, preferably in .png format
  • Icon 134*74, preferably in .png format
  • No use of Nintendo's trademarks! This means no use of the "N64" or "Nintendo" logos. Sorry. Be inventive!
  • You must own the work you submit, and give me permission to use it with Daedalus PSP
Got all that? If you're ready to show the world your masterworks, email the icons and backgrounds to This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it and let's see what happens. We'll keep you posted.

Thanks to RedLinkd for the tip!

Now, keep trying to get first! This is a strenuous, high stakes competition, in which only those who persevere (and hit F5 repeatedly) get first place!



Anyhow, here's my entry. http://www.themushroomkingdom.net/images/sm64_mariofly.gif



It should win. And here's why: a. It's technically not copyrighted, since EVERYONE uses Mario images and gets away with it.



b. It's an N64 related thing. So even better.



c. It features a man with wings (even though they are growing out of his hat, they are wings nontheless). And what does this have to do with anything, you may ask? To that I reply, go read a book, and see what "Daedalus" is about. While you're at it, go see why Pandora's kit was named that... Pandora's box was a box full of evil. So, are the noobz! suggesting that the battery contains a curse or something?! And that Fanjita was the first woman on earth? :P

Um, it technically is copyrighted. What "everyone" seems to get away with does not dictate what is and is not copyrighted.
