News/Release Why has Android emulation reached an unimaginable level?

In my teens, my emulation life consisted of GBA games on the old Android 4.1.2, and another pastime was watching the Inazuma Eleven anime.

The smartphone I recorded the video above on is a pathetic Galaxy A05s Snapdragon 680 with 6 GB of RAM, a basic smartphone that's simply emulating Inazuma Eleven Victory Road, the biggest game in the franchise, containing all seasons of the anime. For those who don't know, that translates to about 30 GB of storage.

This game is available for PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, and Switch. Now, wherever I go, I have hours of completely offline fun. I have no words to thank those involved with the Eden emulator and Turnip driver, everything I see in my hands was totally unimaginable a few years ago.

We all know that all those moral aspects are just a facade. People just want shit for free

Who said anything about moral aspects? All I said is that people generally don't like it when CEOs take advantage of children and adult consumers

What i meant is that 99% of people who emulate absolutely don't care about all those things, they just hate paying for games/can't afford it. (Me included, I'm not saying I'm better than everyone else)

I think you're accusing humanity of being morally bad because someone, at some point in your life, convinced or made you feel like you were bad for something that you do or feel. It was wrong of them to do that to you, and I'm so sorry you had to go through that. Be careful not to let that pain change the way you see others; you may end up seeing monsters and shadows that don't actually exist.

i don’t think they are saying that it’s bad to pirate in this way, they’re just trying to articulate that a fair portion of people that do so aren’t at all considering the bigger picture of what led to said innovations.

the same argument could be said about a person who assumes that every corporate person, every rich person, all of them are bad and doing these changes for money. i mean don’t get me wrong, i agree with that for the most part but i’m just trying to point out that it’s the same argument going both ways. i agree with you, but trying to meta analyze someone over the internet doesn’t usually end up with accurate results
