Hello from brazil! (+firmware editing question)

Hello, i'm RalphFox, i found out about GIMX from another website.

Wanted to try my way tinkering with the firmware(and maybe with the software!) , and helping it translate to my language!

Thanks for this wonderful project!

As of now i need a little help to know a bit more of how to change the header(the author and copyright notice).. i wanted to send a PM but it seems i need to talk a little more in the forums.. :P

I want to keep the original copyright while not changing too much the author; i have no idea how to write it tho:
current file copyright is:

Code: Select all

/*
  Copyright 2013 Mathieu Laurendeau (mat.lau [at] laposte [dot] net)

  Redistributed under the GPLv3 licence.

  Based on code by
    Denver Gingerich (denver [at] ossguy [dot] com)
    Dean Camera (dean [at] fourwalledcubicle [dot] com)

  [SNIP]
*/
I thought about changing it to

Code: Select all

/*
  Copyright 2015 RalphFox (multimedia_fox [at] yahoo [dot] com [dot] br)
  Original code Copyright 2015 Mathieu Laurendeau (mat.lau [at] laposte [dot] net)

  [SNIP]
*/
i haven't done too much, just merged two files together and added a few functions more, and added readmes:

The project idea basically will be adding a switch to be able to use a single usb dongle to as most consoles as possible; to anyone else, please read the readme before testing/using;
