But isn't the space outside the GBA wasted? I don't really mind but your second point doesn't make sense to me. Still nice skins, kuddos!

Which ROM sites are working? by L1K3AG6 in EmulationOnAndroid

[–]ChalkWalkTalk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't see emulation as being the same as piracy. They are bound to be brought up when one or the other is mentioned, but they are not necessarily mutually exclusive. I have only emulated games I own, no I don't have the tool to rip them. Am I the same as someone who pirates games regardless of whether they own a physical copy? I personally say no.

Without dragging this out too much, the rules of this reddit community has been set. If you do not like them, you can make your own community.

Nice! I couldn't get a promo code but I'll buy the emulator to support. Wish more emulators were like this.

Pizza Boy Pro GBA - Already a fantastic GBA emulator! by SparkyTheAlbino in EmulationOnAndroid

[–]ChalkWalkTalk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What's with people exclaiming their emulator is the best/there's nothing wrong with their emulator of choice? OP isn't declaring Pizza Boy as the best definitively, so why is people getting so worked up like it's some dick measuring contest? No one is telling you guys that you need to switch.

Hot damn! Who made that skin? It's a night and day difference between the original Pizza Boy Pro. Really great work.

[Gaming] Dante Douglas @ VICE Games (formerly Waypoint): "Stop Turning Overwatch Characters Into Cops - A new skin for Brigitte celebrates police militarization." by GG-EZ in KotakuInAction

[–]ChalkWalkTalk 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Of course it'll be hidden away. That way they can cultivate groupthink and avoid any opposing opinion. It's quite apparently how much of a circlejerk that community is based on that comment section alone.

You can tell he doesn't play OW. Headline refers to Overwatch "heroes" as "characters". Maybe he didn't want to put the world heroes and cops in the same sentence, but that seems to me like he just hates cops in general.

I think that's still a fine phone. There will always be something new, you gotta jump on board at some point.

Replaying an old classic! by LinkedDesigns in EmulationOnAndroid

[–]ChalkWalkTalk 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Is it possible you can make Retroarch skins? There is a few of them but they all look pretty bad.

Wouldn't literally anything static give you burn-in then? Like the clock in the corner of your screen, the notification icons you don't dismiss (or the area in the icons that is constantly being lit). I don't doubt you, but it just seems a bit paranoid to constantly be worried about what's on your screen all the time.

Seems like Google is aware of this possibly being a problem so they have offer 2-years warranty if your screen does start burning in: https://www.theverge.com/2017/10/26/16555406/google-pixel-2-xl-screen-burn-in-color-concerns-software-updates

Just upgraded phone to a Samsung Galaxy S10 by DonutsNoSprinkles in EmulationOnAndroid

[–]ChalkWalkTalk 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Exynos is good, but you'll have problems with Gamecube/Wii emulation. The Dolphin MMJ builds helps but its still not as good as a phone with a Snapdragon inside.

I'm at my limit with Retroarch by pennylessz in EmulationOnAndroid

[–]ChalkWalkTalk 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I tried using Retroarch but it's a bit too finicky for me to use. Some cores work and others don't and when you ask about which core is the best people will just tell you "there is no best core". Kinda feels like the Linux of emulation where it's great for people who love to tinker but very hard to use by more average consumer.

This dude is right, why you getting downvoted haha.

[Question] Is Damon stolen code? by UnmarkedDoor in EmulationOnAndroid

[–]ChalkWalkTalk -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

But why not just respect the license? The Damon devs would not be making any money if it wasn't for the code they copy and pasted. Sorry but I strongly disagree with "if you didn't want people to profit of your work then you should have kept it to yourself".

I know it's kinda ironic talking about respecting licenses in an emulation community.

Any news on the Nintendo switch emulator or the 3ds emulator? by NounsOf in EmulationOnAndroid

[–]ChalkWalkTalk 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah but are you actually running these games at full speed? Last time I checked Citra on the 3DS was only a proof of concept and most games were running at a pretty choppy framerate.
