why should it be open source?

>>12643127
because I'm running it on my computer
also i'd like to have contributed some code but fuck me right

>>12643112
Because otherwise people would find out it's written by AI

>>12643131
>also i'd like to have contributed some code but fuck me right
You wouldn't you fucking parasite.

>>12643131
it doesn't have to be open source for you to run it, anon

>>12643112
does it run on win7?

>>12643127
every emulator worth running is open source.

>>12643207
why does it matter?

>>12643112
Trannies

>>12643112
why do I even play video games? I hate it

I frankly don't care if it's open or closed, I just want a good emulator with goof features.
It seems like it'll allow for easy sprite modding and that's the thing I most look forward too.
Sprite and texture editing has become one of the funnest aspects of emulators for me.

>>12643217
backdoors

>>12643217
probably doesn't matter for most people but i don't like running programs that are closed source for no reason. It seems they want to make money by selling to android users, which is fine i guess but would be better for the emulation community if everyone had the code. Emulation development has always been collaborative and leads to a better program.

>>12643235
I mean that all makes sense but if the program is legit good would closed source really stop you from using it?

>>12643240
how do we know it isn't made by a Nintendo employee or someone who is being paid by Nintendo to collect user data?

foobar

>>12643232
actually no, if he put a backdoor it would be discovered day one and there would be a huge outcry, and the dev getting cancelled until the end of time.

>how
usually backdoors connect to online places, open ports, etc
for an offline emulator where that traffic cannot be obfuscated between other online activities,
a backdoor would be super obvious and blatant.

sure it could keep storing data and when you click "check for updates" send the payload then...
but why?

>>12643245
who cares? your user data is well-collected since, like, three forevers ago

>>12643251
>it would be discovered day one
there are backdoors that have existed for decades
backdoors ever being found is the exception not the rule in software

>>12643265
but it's an offline standalone program , any network activity is like out in the open.

are you talking about things like the xz backdoor? where it highjacks other components of the system?
that shit was running with higher privileges, I don't think that zsnes would be run as root or something?

what damage could a simple userspace program do that doesn't connect to the internet.

Are you familiar with Mesen's HD NES packs?
They're pretty impressive and can do full graphical swaps for what's the same NES game running under the hood.

Because open source attracts the locusts

>>12643131
post your codes

>>12643131
Fuck you but unironically.

>>12643138
No you dumb fuck that guy was a weeb living in Japan pretending to be a girl.

>>12643142
that would be obvious if it didn't work for shit like most things written by AI. If it does work no one cares.

>>12643142
it is a boomer dev, I highly doubt he would AI the whole thing

at most he could just tell at to rewrite a function or something like that, not the whole thing

why does any give a shit about this again?

>>12643431
Because we have principals, something you cant understand. Nothin personnel, kiddo.

>>12643431
Nobody does, it's just a meme emulator

>>12643475
>principals
well hopefully one day you'll graduate

Some people decide not to open source their projects because AI vacuums up everything and pukes it back out while taking the credit just like RetroArch has been doing to emulators for the past 15 years.

Because they realized they can still make some money with this old crap in 2026
The emulation code will probably be stolen from another (open source) project lol

>>12643623
There's also that Super ZSNES is built in Unity for some fucking reason

AI issue reports and pull requests have been poison for GIT repos lately though and repo maintainers are getting fed up.

>>12643370
>>12643223
open sauces attract tranies. and in AI age, attracts bot who upload junk code.

>>12643283
LOOKIN' GOOD!!!

>>12643217
>why does ensuring your programs aren't keyloggers matter?

My Name Is Nate Higgers And I Hate Open Source Tranbies

>>12643280
>that doesn't connect to the internet
ZSNES has netplay lol, so it absolutely has internet capabilities.

>>12643819
we will own nothing and we will be happy

>>12643112
So that you know not to use it. Duh.

>>12643112
what was the point of this? the fucking GUI on this its uglier and worse then the original, and that was the only thing about the original people looked back on, autismo nostalgia!

>>12643818
my antimalware detects keyloggers. doesn't yours?
does this stop you from using any other closed source software?
do you inspect the source code of all the open-source software you use to look for keyloggers? would you even recognize such code if you saw it?

>>12643475
How big is your middle school that you need more than one principal, little fella?

>>12643112
>why is this closed source
Probably so Hyperkin doesn't steal it like they stole a bunch of open source emulators in the Retron 5.

>>12643112
To hide all the bad ai slop code.

>>12643112
tslur cool club development
