Bring back nintendo emulators !!!
 

All nintendo emulators seem to have been removed off the maemo select and other repo's.

I think this is because nintendo have confronted nokia for that "classic games in 30 secs" video on the nokiaconversations youtube channel.

We need to do something about this. As having the emulators and being able to play retro was a "big" reason for me (and possibly you) for ordering the n900.

Links for these emulators and the classic gaming wallpapers are spread out over the forum. It would be great if someone would compile these into 1 file and mirror on a "different" forum, as i would expect it to be removed if posted here.

Some more detailed information on the current situation

I've compiled all the emulators into 1 file for ease of download. :D

Note: I have just uploaded the file so it may be a while before megaupload lets you download.

If anyone has the emulator debs they could just host them on Rapidshare or something and then Maemo is not promoting them???
Not that emulators without the Roms are illegal anyways...

Re: Bring back nintendo emulators !!!
 

Yes this would be great for people like me who havn't yet recieved n900 thus not yet having the mu

Re: Bring back nintendo emulators !!!
 

'We' need to do something about this, cause it was a big reason for you ordering the n900.

Wtf would we need to do anything get a grip and at least try and be constructive when requesting something.

Re: Bring back nintendo emulators !!!
 

1) The big red writing and dodgy grammar does nothing to want to make people listen;
2) Nokia can't afford any liabilities - I'd rather have maemo.org up sans the Nintendo emulators;
3) At least one person has mirrored DrNokSnes and VGBA; search.

Re: Bring back nintendo emulators !!!
 

I also ordered the N900 because it looked great for emulation (among other things).

If someone could setup an unofficial repository for emulators, or just provite the .deb files, it'd be great.

Re: Bring back nintendo emulators !!!
 

only hope to get them back is if some one hosts them on a private repo.
i have to say by them being took down shows who really controls maemo.org and its not the community as nokia would like us to believe

Re: Bring back nintendo emulators !!!
 

Scroll up. Someone already has. Unfortunately, we can't tell you where, cos then we'd have to kill you before Nintendo get here. Try a search engine.

Why do people buy a phone to play games? Why didn't you buy a games console?

I am quite sure TPTB in the community are in agreement with this decision and hope, as you do, that it will be temporary. But no-one wants the community - or worse the individual developers - to be sued by Nintendo.

Red letter demands are rather less likely to get help than quiet requests... someone (no, not me) knows where these are. Try asking nicely.

Re: Bring back nintendo emulators !!!
 

I agree about the first post's style.

I also rpefer having a main website up and other distributing emulators, if this is necessary. But having everything together is still much better in my opinion.

I wasn't able to find the mirrors you talk about. Yes, I carefully searched this forum with the internal search engine ;)

EDIT :
Well, because being able to play on something you carry with you all the time is better than having to bring a console everywhere you go ;)

There's also all this raw power the N900 has, gotta be used for something, eh ? :p

Re: Bring back nintendo emulators !!!
 

i searched too can't find anything on forum search or google
using google is hopeless you get flooded with page after page of nokia getting sued, which they are far from getting, taking a look at video and getting sued are miles apart

Re: Bring back nintendo emulators !!!
 

I searched too and can't find it . Could someone pm me the link ?

Re: Bring back nintendo emulators !!!

Re: Bring back nintendo emulators !!!
 

Whats the difference between i386 and armel, which would you download?

Re: Bring back nintendo emulators !!!
 

From what I understand, you only need the armel files which are for the ARM processor (the kind of processors the N900 has).

Re: Bring back nintendo emulators !!!
 

armel runs on the phone, i386 in the Scratchbox on a PC

Re: Bring back nintendo emulators !!!
 

oh kk thanks

Re: Bring back nintendo emulators !!!
 

This is great!
Have you also done drnoknes and vgb, and also classicgamingwallpapers.

btw, LOL to "rapidshit"

Re: Bring back nintendo emulators !!!
 

Your site is awesome !

Re: Bring back nintendo emulators !!!
 

I think everyone needs to just take a breath for a second, read this post and calm down.

It's only been a couple of days so far, and over a weekend at that. Once we've got more clarity on the situation, which I'm sure will happen over the next few days, we can, as a community, work out what to do about it. It may involve putting everything back like it was, it may involve setting up an independent effort a la RPM Fusion for 'troublesome' packages, but we don't know yet, it's just to early to say for sure.

You don't know that - no-one does at this point.

That's not true either - it could simply be that the community recognises that it's not in our interest to do something that needlessly screws Nokia, on whom we rely for a lot of support.

Re: Bring back nintendo emulators !!!
 

The longer I look at this thread (and some others), the more I am inclined to think that releasing these emulators has not been a good idea. At least, releasing them for free, as it breeds hordes of freeloaders. :(

Re: Bring back nintendo emulators !!!
 

It's far too easy to sit there and call Nokia daft for removing the emulators when you don't have the full story... or even a tenth of it. So please, don't go overboard with stuff like saying the community doesn't control the repositories (who do you think actually took down the packages, hmm?)

fms : Maybe it just brings people who want to play good games they enjoyed in their childhood ;)

zerojay : Yes, I heard it was the original developper or the repositories managers who did it. I can totally understand this decision, we'll have to wait a bit before deciding to put them back in Extras (or in other repositories).

Re: Bring back nintendo emulators !!!
 

What is the different between drnoksnes and drnoksnes-dbg ?

Re: Bring back nintendo emulators !!!
 

One is the emulator and the other is needed when you are a programmer debugging the program.

Re: Bring back nintendo emulators !!!
 

Thanks for taking your time to share and upload it, but sites like rapidshare have it's limits and it's not avalible for free users. And megaload seems down to

Could you or anyone else that has the files upload em somewhere else?

Thanks in advance!
