So they'll patch around it.
You're just making your software worthless in the long run for some value probably less than 5 years, or creating a fun problem for an emu hacker.
Most of the significant losses to piracy monetarily isn't emulation, it's the chippers/mods that bypass cloned media copy protection.
Which emulator authors have a lot more control over in bypassing
- pm215 2y agoIf it hardlocked an A8 but not an A9, chances are very high that an emulator would run it with no problem, because nobody deliberately tries to emulate the kind of CPU bug that lets an app hardlock the CPU. GP appears to have been interested in deterring people from running their code on non-authorised real hardware at the time, not targeting emulator users.
- bobmcnamara 2y agoBingo! Didn't want someone running new product's app on old product's hardware. Company was new to building non-RTOS devices which were tightly hardware bound, wanted similar type restrictions.
- mikestew 2y agoYou assume an anti-piracy attempt when GP, from my reading, made no such statement. More of a mystery, but who cares because the problem hardware wasn’t what they shipped on.
