I wonder if there is code in there that was perhaps acquired in a way that wasn't totally above board/not written in a total clean room?
- kakarot 9y agoThanks for the link. I wouldn't be surprised if there is still dirty code in the source, but then again Exzap seems decently professional so he might know better. As I suspected, Patreon had a good bit to do with this, although he underplayed its significance and overplayed the significance of keeping a tight leash on the codebase. I have my reservations about closed source software due to hidden nasties, but I also don't generally compile my emulators from checksum-verified source code, so it's somewhat a moot point. As long as Exzap holds true to his promise about eventually making the entire thing open source, or even better, slowly open sources various aspects of the engine over time, then I will respect his decision to keep the source closed—Even if I don't agree with it.
- stordoff 9y agoThere's certainly been speculation that Cemu was helping along by documentation/SDKs that should have under NDA (from the pace of development etc.), so I wouldn't be that shocked if they were keeping it closed until that is engineered out.
