Alpha Posted October 22, 2006 Share Posted October 22, 2006 I hate closed-source emulators They make me think the author has something to hide...Well, they do, their code. That is of course so no one claims it as theirs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
olaf Posted October 22, 2006 Share Posted October 22, 2006 Even my crappy emulators are open source. The emulation scene should be used to share as much information as possible. The best emulation scene to date is the NES emulation one, everything is open source. Everyone tries to share as much information as possible. Wikis, open source emulators, documentation, there's crazy amounts of NES developing information available. I just don't see why the rest of the emulation world doesn't follow the great example that the NES emulation world is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lucandrake Posted October 22, 2006 Share Posted October 22, 2006 I could understand the thing being closed source until it was completly done so that no one can claim the project out of the blue. But after the emulater is nearly done and only has minor bugs open source is the way to go!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ken_cinder Posted October 22, 2006 Share Posted October 22, 2006 I hate closed-source emulators They make me think the author has something to hide... What? Like the authors of Dolphin-Emu? It's well known that they're using open source code in their emulator, from other PPC projects (Like PearPC) and obfuscating the code, and not sharing.
