Request: Super Mario Bros X port.

Hey all. Just came across a pretty cool looking fan made Super Mario Bros game on pc called "Super Mario Bros X". You guys here support Super Mario War so I cant see what the problem will be with this request if any. Anyways the game is rather lengthy, and appears to be open source since the episodes for it were created by seemingly random users. Even a compatible graphics, and textures pack was made. Anyways I just thought it would be a cool thing to port for those who love Super Mario games.

I cant see much of a reason they wouldnt, but oh well.

They seem pretty anal about keeping it closed source even though it's written in VB (BIG LOL) to quote the users "*sigh* Oh boy, another homebrew topic..." . (big middle finger to them).

I did not even download the game but in the past I've converted some old projects from VB5/6 to C, it's not that hard if you know both languages and if the VB game is well programmed (uses Windows API).

But sorry to say does not look like these guys are interested.

Well even if they got no interest they got no reason to close source it. Actually cant unless they think Nintendo wont eventually find it, and shut it down. And frankly being closed source when and if that happens wont help them, as Nintendo will look at it as though these people have claimed a stake on portions of their game code, intellectual properties, game characters, among other things that are surely borrowed from mario games as their own.

Besides the final poster of the topic has no clue what he's talking about. Opening the source, and giving it to strangers dangerous? It's dangerous for them keeping the source closed, cause nobody would want to give Nintendo the wrong impression if they catch it. They're messing with ESA protected material.

Anyways regardless if they are interested or not should have no bearing. Lot of the code in that game isnt theirs anyway. Never was.

Please, please, please do research (even if it's just google) before posting port requests. Thanks.
