About ports of DS programs to BlocksDS

Hey!

I've been porting several old DS homebrew programs and games to BlocksDS and made sure that they can all build with modern tools. You can see a list of my ports (and the ports of other developers) here: https://github.com/blocksds/awesome-blocksds

Basically, I've taken libraries like PAlib, µLibrary, Woopsi, Box2D, and ported them to BlocksDS. Then, I've taken some games like Meteora, WolveSlayer, Triple Triad DS, and applications like Eigenmath DS, and ported them as well (sometimes using the ports of the libraries).

So far I've been editing the entries of the games and applications to link to my repositories, while leaving the entries of the original authors alone (and I've made sure to credit the original authors in my repositories, of course!). I just wanted to check that this is ok, because so far I've just assumed that it was fine (and nobody has reverted my changes, so I take that as confirmation that it's ok!).

Thanks,
Antonio
 
It should be fine, but I'd recommend trying to contact the original authors directly. Many of them might no longer be active, but you never know. Since our job is to archive their work, it's always best to reach out first. However, if everything is open source, it should generally be okay.

Best regards,
