Do you think if someone made a working emulator of PS5, that can run on current gen PCs right now, and told people on his patreon that FF7:Rebirth got leaked 2 weeks early and works on his emulator but only behind a paywall, Sony would sit by and let it happen too?
Your analogy is moronic because emulation isn't just another storefront.
Go ahead, make your own Steam/GOG/Epic Games but you'll find lawsuits when you are sending anything but games you made through it without a deal in place with rights holders and you'll find no one to play it if you charge while not having any of those things.
>Do you think different brands of DVD players shouldn't be legal?
BD Players pay Sony a royalty over the right to being able to actually play BD, you fricking moron.
Emulator does not pay anything to Nintendo.
better to ask for forgiveness than permission approach. get your name out there so you can say you have a million downloads on the app store or something. asking for money is fricking it up bigly though.
it's all pointless egotism, you make a free emulator for the purpose of preservation. The second you start trying to put it on stores you've forgotten WHY you made the emulator. Frick the Dolphin team for the same reason, could've gotten a lot worse.
Specifically with google play, the issue is if you aren't on the play store you only get like 0.001% of the users.
Nobody installs raw APKs and it's more to do with people not being technically inclined to do it than any of the other very legitimate reasons not to install random apks (malware)
my wife installs cracked apk files on an old phone for our toddler all the time. it probably happens more than you think. especially if you're in the market to pirate some games anyway
Good for your wife, and it's fine and fun I do it too, the vast vast exceeding majority of people don't. Also stop giving a phone to your fricking toddler you dumbass.
Anon you'd be surprised of how many android users just don't know basic shit.
So many people just use sketchy apps that are full of ads just because those come with a database of roms ready to run.
Genuinely not everyone is smart enough to download an APK.
Personally, I just liked the convenience of downloading my shit without effort so I got My Boy and Pizza Boy years ago. Also Drastic, but at the time DS Emulation on phones didn't have a lot of alternatives.
>Specifically with google play, the issue is if you aren't on the play store you only get like 0.001% of the users.
Why does that matter? You're making an emulator. The people that want it will seek it out.
What even is Game Link? Two instances of mgba can emulate the link CABLE since I transferred my Golden Sun save.
Can't be for GC either since that uses mgba.
So far the only countries that Nintendo ha successfully legally assraped people in are their own home turf and America. So yes, I would say America is in fact owned by corporations. Blame Reagan.
>Google Play Store
Anyone who uses that shit isn't going to get very far in emulation anyways. New emugays are more likely to run into ad infested apps. Sure you can get retroarch from there too, but it's unlikely that those who are completely new to emulation has no idea what to download in the first place.
being easy to find in web searches these days
yesterday morning i was able to jail break my ps4 because i found a 12 minute guide that went over every single step. i was done in under an hour.
you're just stupid maybe.
Frick you, i hate tokgays like yourself, homosexual.

You're such a pathetic little c**t. You dont know how to search things and you're getting salty when people doesnt give you shit. What a fricking manchild you should have a nice day right now before its too late.

Not surprising. I think that as the iPhone eventually gets buck broken into a more open platform, it'll probably have a leveling out effect in the long run where Android is a little less wild. The Play Store is ridiculous, the amount of garbage shit in there is truly unbelievable--and the Apple App Store is already chock full of junk. Nobody gives a frick about Apps anymore, there just an annoying aspect of modern life. We've gone way too long in archiving and emulation in the grey market space and I can only hope that we eventually get some better court protections on stuff like this. Distributing ROMs and BIOs will always be for weird websites hosted in Bogaslavia, but emulators should be allowed to live, provided there's no funny business.
You ever stop and wonder why Nintendo goes after these emulators? "Yeah, I downloaded 2 terabytes of Switch games illegally, but now I can't play them because I wouldn't dare download an illegal emulator too!"
What's the point of this? Nintendo has shown they don't give a frick about older gens. Even when emulation was completely unmolested by lawsuits, tendies would buy Nintendo branded NES and SNES roms at full price without even thinking twice about it. Nintendo has no reason to go after a Gameboy emulator, it's only when emulation affects their current gen profits that they get uppity.
Damn. I purchased both Pizzaboy versions because I used to have Android on my hacked Switch. At least I still have the GBC version on my phone since I can use my phone's camera with a Gameboy Camera rom.
This doesn't look like a "Nintendo got him" moment. Seems like he just got scared after seeing the Yuzu situation and pulled it just to be safe. The Yuzu situation is making people realize they've been too complacent and they aren't as safe as they thought.
I sure hope no one distributes the Pizza Boy GBA Emulator PRO .apk for free online
Shoulda made it free ¯_(ツ)_/¯
>putting an emulator on a moderated app store
moron
see: Dolphin
>ask for money
>get rekt by nintendo
greedy frickers get exactly what they deserve.
Doesn't sound like he got Nintendo'd otherwise just removing it wouldn't be enough. And asking for money doesn't make emulation illegal
It does make it just as greedy though.
Do it as a hobby or frick off. Pretty simple.
Then why do the ones that do keep getting shut down and sued?
>put in work to make a program that plays games that Nintendo doesn't even sell anyway
Why shouldn't they get paid?
>Why shouldn't they get paid?
Because that's not piracy, that's just theft and bootlegging.
Do you think different brands of DVD players shouldn't be legal?
Do you think if someone made a working emulator of PS5, that can run on current gen PCs right now, and told people on his patreon that FF7:Rebirth got leaked 2 weeks early and works on his emulator but only behind a paywall, Sony would sit by and let it happen too?

it's 100% legal to release your own original code.

It was always fricking weird to me that these emulators kept trying to get themselves on every storefront imaginable.

Yes. You are case of study for the most ludicrous shit
the true owner is israel

My emu folder has been hopping from toaster to toaster for over two decades.
Why should I care?

As they should be.
Wouldn't be an issue if they weren't trying to charge money.

No, im not poor, so i should be able to run everything under 7th gen at 60fps, homosexuals.

Overusing a term literally takes away their power. This is why people who act like you can't say meanie words are moronic.
This is especially true for a trademark, by the way. IF all searching is googling, then google search engine is not special.
Learn how words literally work.

The irony is that F-Droid has better curation than Google Play.
Google Play is so horrible it makes Steam look like a highly curated platform.

Definitely way better than I expected. Last time I looked into these miniPCs they weren't this good. Is it running some kind of miniGPU?

Well time to just google and use a random emulator? Frick you Nintendo. No money for you.
Damn. I purchased both Pizzaboy versions because I used to have Android on my hacked Switch. At least I still have the GBC version on my phone since I can use my phone's camera with a Gameboy Camera rom.
>My family comes first

This doesn't look like a "Nintendo got him" moment. Seems like he just got scared after seeing the Yuzu situation and pulled it just to be safe. The Yuzu situation is making people realize they've been too complacent and they aren't as safe as they thought.

nothing has changed
