Custom ROM Service

[guitardoc64]

This site is about PPC custom ROMs and provides for FREE all the information. The ROMs by and large, are free. The kitchens are free. If you want to donate, a lot of the chefs have that. The kitchen has that. This site has that. I have donated to a lot here, but it was my own free will and my way of saying thanks. Why pay to have someone cook up a ROM when the kitchen makes it so easy?

And the basis of a supply and demand market.

I vote that ROMs should be, and are free, but if you want the artsy stuff, you pay for it, and if you really like certain programs, you donate to those authors so they continue to make them.

You'll want to read some of my Rom building tutorials first. There are a 3-4 diamond kitchens @ xda's , Toby's/ghettorfreeryders on the ftp, and there's that ppckitchen.org that will probably be adding support for the diamond some time soon....

Keep in mind that this side is mainly focused on the CDMA diamond, so when choosing a kitchen to cook your ROMs, use the correct kitchen!

Most of my tutorials are fairly generic. They should apply for the diamond too, and give good general knowledge. Same principles, maybee some different kitchen tools...

Wow, poll results:

12 for custom service

30 against.

If you check the vogue upgrade forum, their sorta having world war III over there and slowly ousting chefs with donation buttons. It is happening and this board is losing users as they are jumping ship and going elsewhere... It's not what it used to be...

Hmm.. about 1/3 of people would actually like a ROM Service so far...

About 40% believe this is a bad idea for reasons other than it already being easy.

There are no morality issues here.

Ethical issues, perhaps. The issues for me are (1) profiting from the reuse of work of numerous chefs, (2) profiting from the use of tools and source material of questionable legality.

The hacker in me has no issue with the activities in (1) and (2), but the profit is an issue. Kind of like people seliing burned copies of DVD's on eBay for profit.

I suppose if they took out all the ads, added a cool menu at the start and added in alterative scenes...

In any case, the FREE kitchen tutorial is being worked on for those that would like to learn how to do this for themselves.
