Hardware emulation wouldn't make sense. Interesting though, because Sony has a fully working PSX Emulator for their PSP, which is also used on the PS Vita (PS Vita emulates PSP emulates PSOne to play Classic games). No idea what the PS3 used for PSOne support. Too hard to port?

Why spend the time and money porting that to ARM just for this one product when you can take something that already exists for free?

Maybe when we did all this we did not willingly sign up for slave labor so that big multi billion dollar companies could cheapskate their way out of engineering their own stuff for a quick buck? But then again, you kinda opened the floodgates for this kind of corporate abuse.

hey so it's a super bad look when a project that is only successful because OSS allows them to use other people's projects is complaining about a company using OSS.

Yeah libretro is literally just an orchestration of other projects it's only novelty is the fact that it puts them in one place. It's almost nothing without the emulators it calls into

Gotta give libretro credit for a really good presentation layer too though. It's not necessarily why most people would use it, but it's doing things objectively better than many, many emulators.

But yeah, it's a good presentation layer, a meh frontend, and 50+ prebuilt versions of other people's projects -- sometimes badly maintained, with unofficial patches and forks applied.

We'd happily work together with Dolphin devs on the Dolphin core, but every time we have presented it, there has been zero interest in collaborating. And the only responses we get from Dolphin devs border on the antagonistic, see the latest responses. What do you want us to do?

As Dolphin devs, we gain literally nothing from having a Retroarch core. We just have one more configuration to support, and one we don't have full control over to make it worse. You have everything to gain and can blame issues on cores.

And then there's the liability of being associated with a project whose "leader" has fits of rage using their official twitter handle, throwing their public opinions around and accusing other devs of harassing contributors (like you did to me 6h ago).

(Again, not that we wouldn't gain anything from libretro -- you have better presentation, you have better postprocessing. But that's all improvable in Dolphin without the problems I mentioned.)
