I went ahead and "red pilled" it from another source, but when I went to the file and click to install, a yellow bar would pop up and said that the file did not exist (or something to that effect).

All but the SNES one are in desperate need of scaling to fit screen to aspect ratio. SNES has the feature, but the others are either native res (VGB is like a postage stamp) or (Sega, VGBA) are only 2/3 the screen height.

I am surprised more robust options are not available, since Maemo has been around for a few years. I guess gamers are a very low minority with the Nokia tablets.

3430 will eat them all for lunch at full screen (fit to aspect ratio).

I believe on the older tablets performance was limited by the video driver (TI still hasn't open sourced them despite saying they would). Thus I don't think any of the developers tried to do scaling since the hardware in its state couldn't support it.

Well, no one here knows specifically but since it comes down to marketing, it probably falls under Peter's watch.

Not so sure we should be running around playing the blame game right now anyways. It won't change anything from our perspective.

Look, the reason Nintendo is pulling is this is because they like to stir up trouble. They are now offering emulation on their Wii console and limited porting to their DS portable.

Furthermore, the reason they CAN do anything is because official Nokia people uploaded a video implicating that emulation was a FEATURE of the N900.

Emulators are not, have not and will not be illegal. Period.

ROMs on the other hand are illegal to distribute.

However, it is legal to create backups of the games you own, thus it is legal to possess a ROM for which you have a physical copy of the game. However, this is besides the point and has been a bit murky with back and forth cases.

The moral is - and I have said this before and will say it again - extras is the not the end all, be all repository.

We as the community, need to go back to private repositories, clearly. If Nokia as a large corporation is going to get their panties in a wad every time there is a fake legal threat, then this whole platform is going down the drain.

I'd also like to point out that several of the repository.maemo.org repositories keep going down - all the fight by "head" people to consolidate the private repositories into extras is biting them in the butt.

Mirror, mirror, mirror. Mirror it all, is what I say.

and please, please, stay away from rapidshare and the like. They are just painful to use.

The emulators need to be re-added once Nintendo calms down a bit. Removing applications and emulators will only hither future developers in providing support.
