I've been following this on and off, but the fact that it's hard for you to tell if you contributed anything makes it kinda stale in the long run. With that said, it's an interesting concept, and good that they've managed to beat the game.
But my question is: would it be possible to recreate this so that you could do this on your own? Say, have a group of friends work together to beat one file of Pokemon Blue or something. Even just a group of say 10-20 people chosen at random would be more interesting, I think, because your actions on an individual level would be worth more. All I know is that some guy programmed the ROM to be like that or something, I'm just not sure how easily this could be recreated (because I'm not a tech expert).
Does anyone have any insight into this?
