VHS is > the way to go, for one thing the pro guys only see what you want them to see > *grin* Would you get chased if you sent a cdr to a developer? Doesn't the full dev kit run cdr's? Isn't this a good way to dist your work? It says in the liscence agreement that you cannot release your work to the public, only keep it within the confines of the yaroze groups, but is showing a developer to get a job really breaking this rule? And are developers going to assume you are a pirate simply because you put your game on a cdr or have a chipped machine? It's the only way you can play import games if you don't have a yaroze (or two other machines), I buy imports from Tronix and it costs around the same as if I bought the game here, I am not a pirate but I have a chipped playstation. These aren't rhetorical questions I'd like to know what people (especially people who actually are pro developers) think. Ok flame me :) cheers Matt
