  Exactly what Nintendo was hoping for. I can’t blame the developers, though. But this sucks.

  Old ass game systems where it’s practically impossible or expensive to get the physical games anymore, let alone the console, with some titles locked to those systems, never to be enjoyed again except through emulation.

    Yep. If anyone is using emulators, I would suggest keeping a copy just in case this spills over to all emulators.

    And if you do manage to acquire a physical copy Nintendo isn’t go to see any of the money you spent on it anyway

  the DMCA and it’s anti-circumvention clause has been a blight on consumers, can’t even fix trains without getting sued.

  Anyone recommend a Bluetooth controller for Android? I just tried emulating a GB game for the first time, and remembered that I hate soft keys.

    It’s not Bluetooth, but the Razer Kishi pro v2 is just absolutely wonderful! It even gives you a 3.5mm headphone port with a very capable amp!

    I use an 8bitdo pro 2. Over kill, probably but it works with lots of devices. Phone, switch, computer.

      That looks like a good choice, thank you. I’ll see if I can sneak it past the wife.

      But there’s no support for the phone, how will you use it? Satelite controllers are the best for this.

    The Xbox controller?

      I second this. If you already have one (or even a ps5 controller) then they are a perfect choice. I imagine a switch pro controller would work too, and you get the bonus of having a nice controller for your switch.

      If you don’t have one then 8bitdo is a safe choice

      I’ve got an xbox360 and a PS4 - nothing newer. I’ll have to buy SOMETHING, sadly.

  I suppose this just means that piracy of the Pizza Emulators themselves is going to pick up, unless there are better GB/GBA emulators for android out currently.
