The original quote was "Everyone would benefit in Nokia sponsoring/buying/supporting a port of SIO2 to Maemo." That's clearly not true. Resources are always limited, and how they are allocated is relevant. Since you asked, more productive uses for the resources would be to extend and complete core functionality and bring Ovi Maps to feature parity with Symbian, to name a couple.

You're confusing Nokia and maemo, and it seems to be the origin of a lot of your complaints being expressed here. Just because i have ported some old games and an emulator to Maemo doesn't mean that's what Nokia is focused on. Nokia didn't sponsor the games in Extras.

I would be interested in hearing that, but that's probably a question for the Nokia forum.

Heh. I do speak for myself, which i said.

Since we're all speaking for ourselves, i was just wondering: what have you, in your far-sightedness, done for Maemo recently?

Remember, this is maemo.org, the community for promoting and developing for Maemo. Opinions are great but don't compile very well.

Yeah, we're all agreed Nokia needs to get on the ball with Ovi. Just keep in mind that nobody here has any say in that. This is not a Nokia forum.

I don't see why anyone has any cause to oppose emulation. One of the great things about powerful computers is that they acquire the functionality of lesser systems by emulating them. E.g. the Palm Garnet emulator, which many are using so they can keep using their favorite apps from the Palm era. It would be illogical to not take advantage of the best software for any platform that can be successfully emulated. The N900 is actually powerful enough to do that for a large number of systems, hence the ubiquity of emulators.
