Yup, IR Shell should have gotten first. Not to take away from deniska but to me IR Shell is much more useful for everyday life. I don't get lost much.
Anyhow, congrats to all of the winners and thanks for your time and energy.

» Totally bull***** results
These judges are pretty retarded. I mean look at this - Dr.Neo
Sand Box
Doesn't start on my PSP ... How can you not get Sandbox to work ?
Plus they didnt do anything about the guy who cheated (who ultimately got 7th place!)
Total Bull*****!

» $n!pR the judges are retarded LOL
It was a public vote so are you saying that everyone that has
voted and had a different opinion to you is a retard?

The public vote was just one factor to the final results. The judges made the final decision.
I too think the results are rather off, not really aiming at coding skill/coding effort, but more on the likelyness of the judges to the one or other program (yes I'm unhappy with my 8th place, though I still believe my demo wasn't that great at all... but hell... it was at least way more sweat&blood put into it than that screen repair set, but I'm not complaining here).
Also the case of the obvious cheater is a big drawback for neoflash I think. They should have been more strict there.
I honor though that they decided to accept multiple same places and extend the prizes accordingly.
I'm still looking forward to the next compo after all.

IRshell 2.0 (the entered version) features an easy to use menu by pressing start. Use that.
The game called 'Escape' cheated and got 30 extra votes, all by similar e-mail addresses. He wouldn't have even got a prize if he hadn't cheated.

» After seeing the results doc
After seeing the results doc, i'm pretty pist. The judges were horible.
Really I still think ThrottleX deserved 1st or 2nd. Second someone spam their votes ( going from 5 - 35 in one night, Thats pure cheating yet they still gave him 9 points for the poll ).
***** my prize, I dont want it.

Just noticed that taichi didn't even get one single point from the judges, so if the votes weren't manipulated he wouldn't have been in the top10 and flower2 would instead have gotten the 10th place. Really bad for him, it's a shame :(

Look, honestly IRShell has been around way before the competition started. As a judge, I would dock a lot of points because of that solely. Yet,somehow, he still managed to get 2nd place. Good for him.
MapThis! is a great achievement, deniska has managed to implement something that few could do. It ranks up pretty high on the complexity scale in terms of programming. Here's hoping he tackles a keyboard mod next!
The top 4 PSP games are all excellent (and they're all winners), so why is everyone complaining?

» I agree with PSmonkey after reading comments
Dr. Neo:
TrigWars
> Awfull game play, too dark, unplayable in my opinion
- come on, awfull game play? True it's a little bit dark, but there's still that screen brightness adjustment button on your psp...
Sand Box
> Doesn't start on my PSP ...
- du'h, actually, ThrottleX didn't start out of the box. Also, where is the judging on that from Dr. neo? Am I blind or is it really missing?
5) EI0 Map editor + OSlib map loading source code
>> No useful, every coder can do such code thing and there is a lot of better map editor
(GBA Graphics by Oslib creator...) since using a PSP based map editor isn't easy or fast...
- then why place it 5th??
7) Screen Repair Set
>> There is already a lot of videos to correct stuck pixels, and they work with any firmware...It is hard to say something else on this app since I don't avec any stuck pixel.
- again, why place 7th then?
corey1492:
> Sandbox
Not really a game but a tech demo… needs UMD?
- uhhhh....?
6) You might be a game developer
LOL (originality 9)
- LOL?.... I mean... yeah... wtf?
Also the third judge for PSP didn't give any comments at all (probably better?).

Note that I didn't get ANY points from Dr.Neo, because he completely missed my game. It doesn't even have a comment such as "Don't work, lmao!", it's just not mentioned. That's a possible 10 points docked v_v.

» I'm still really pist about this
How come no site is making a big deal about this. It's obvious the results are *****ed up and they leave it be.
Yet this site tries to give more time and every site out there gets pist off and that they are rigging the compo.

» Nice...
they probably winning some neoflash yunk. Congratulation.
Btw, if someone beats the irSHELL it has to be super great, something that people cant be without, something that everyone can use and also use everyday. Funny, have never tried that map GPS thing.

» ... BS.
This seems to be the poorest competition judging I have ever heard of. I myself am a huge fan of IRShell. I would go to say that deniske's comment in the poll did actually sway the judges.
Maybe they needed Chuck Norris. *Thumbs... UP*

Horrible results.... ThrottleX is better than 3rd!!! And I have no clue how the screen repair set got anywhere on there... Even I could make that... anyone could actually.

Should've been like
ThrottleX
TrigWars
R-Gear
Sandbox
Droplets
Luminex
and Escape shouldn't have even been in the top 10...the guy cheated on the polls, everyone saw it, why wasn't he disqualified and maybe even banned from future competitions. Frankly, his game couldv'e been coded in 5 minutes.
I think apps results weren't bad, but RemaPSP and MMSPlus should've been switched.
Booooo to the judges.

Ir shell second? you must be stupid to not like/know how to use IR .... omg ahman even use the start button as help screen...
I FRIGGIN LOVE IR SHELL! useful too!
but on the other hand, mapthis ROCKS, i just wouldn't vote it number 1 tho, if it was a tie id say awesome, but ir shell certainly deserve more.
Also... trig war? getting too challenging.. they should have a "select your difficulty" which in easy mode, the green ones aren't as dodgy as they are and you fire way faster, like the very first version of the game, and then normal mode, you fire slightly faster and enemy get little smarter, and so on, i had to keep both the buggy old version and the newest version of trig war on my opsp -.-

if you didnt know, iRshell has been entered in previous compos. There is not much different since before.
There were only 10 entries for PSP apps, so all of them got a place.
As to the cheaters: we have (had) no way of tracking what user logged what vote. I do know in the past month we have been getting a wave of 'autospam' type posts, where an automated account sign up and following that spam posts are found in the forum.
If I had been able to proove cheating (wrather than the possibility of getting a bunch of people to vote where others didnt ask others to vote), the entry would have been entirely disqualified. As it is, Im not happy either, but have no proof one way or the other.
#20 - I found _no_ gaming aspect to sandbox. Ooh, look, I can move stuff around on the screen. Gets boring really fast. And yes, I was laughing my ass off at the lua script, I felt it deserved some points for origionality if nothing else.
sandbox: the attachment didnt work. It is a stipulation of the contest that the entry be attached to the post (mainly so we can tell if it was altered after contest close), its essentially the poster's fault for leaving a faulty attachment and not arranging it with us to have the extremely large actual files hosted on our site elsewhere.
TO THE REST OF YOU:
PSMonkey: your crappy entry didnt deserve any better. (how does it feel to have your time spit on like you are on ours?)
You dont like free stuff? New programs to use? Tell Dr.neo to stop holding compos, Im sure we can arrange that much more easily wrather than putting in 30-60 manhours dealing with all the crud around a compo...
28: boo to the people who aren't judges and didnt have to wade through 80 programs (took me close to 8 hours, with comments and all) in assorted and sometimes broken english funky hard to read instructioned installation packages, but simply had to pick one and vote.
