Hello everyone it's Jason talking about the wII and other game systems. I think we should try to to see if we can make these systems accessible for the blind, I think the right way to approach this matter is getting in contact with the developers who developed the systems and set up a time and place to discuss with that individual who we are and to whom it may concern. Meaning if a blind game developer who is willing to take on the roll of developing the system for the gblind can be in contact with this representative and when if developed send him or her the codes if we are able to figure it out and make it accessible and then posibly go on a business partnership and then we will not be crossing copy infringement lines or piracy. I thought of this as a suggestion your friend, Jason ----- Original Message ----- From: "Bryan Peterson" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "Gamers Discussion list" <gamers@audyssey.org> Sent: Wednesday, May 23, 2007 6:40 PM Subject: Re: [Audyssey] Wii for the blind
