    As i learned yesterday, the old fully copyleft licensed code works just fine and literally nobody cares if he stops supporting it in newer versions.

      There’s also a maintained fork called Swanstation that is related to the retroarch project

        So the og developer will find himself with some Windows users and nothing left since most people would probably choose the most foss version supporting Linux and (since that) getting more improvements from contributors.

    I haven’t looked into emulation in years, and I’ve never been particularly interested in ps1 emulation, but i imagine there are hundreds of options yeah? Why care about some rando raging against linux?
