Not necessarily. If you have developed games before, which have been published, then they may be willing to talk to you. You will need to have a strong gameplan and possibly a business plan too.

quote:Even the SN Systems kit (which is only $5000) requires you to be a registered developer before the software installs - the install program looks for something from NOA on your harddisk before it starts.

It looks for the AGB development console to be connected.

quote:I''ve looked at the offical www.noa.com website and that says flat no more registrations, no contact email/phone number. Do you have a back door please?

As of now, I believe that they aren''t taking any more developers direct. You may still get licensed through a publisher, but I''m not sure. This is because the amount of developers they now have and the way their quality control works.


Your best bet is to try to get a publisher interested (make a PC game in the same res, with the same colours as a GBA) and go from there.



Good luck!
