And why is that difficult to believe? My previous emulation project (https://code.google.com/p/pspplayer/ https://code.google.com/p/pspplayer/) was the same kind of exercise: do something no one else had done and learn a lot doing it. As a hobbyist the act of doing something is far more fulfilling than the output.
- PhasmaFelis 13y agoIt's not difficult to believe, it's just funny. Devoting an enormous amount of time and energy to understanding and reproducing a device whose only purpose is to play video games while insisting that you're not interested in video games is a pretty funny thing to do. I mean, I obsess over odd stuff too, I'd guess most of us do, but it's important to keep a sense of humor about it.
- noxa 13y agoOh, for sure. I thought you were implying that I only was doing it to play/steal/etc games (as many people assume). I've got a pile of awesome Japanese import games I picked up the last time I was there that I'd love to play, but the region locking on the real consoles prevents me. If I had an emulator, that wouldn't be a problem. Not the only reason I'm doing this, of course (I could just buy a Japanese console), but it's a reason nonetheless :)
- mercer 13y agoMight such a comment be used against you? Just curious.
- noxa 13y agoIt's fair use. If a book is not available for sale in the US I can travel to the UK and buy a copy and bring it back with me and read it. It may not be what the publisher wanted, but it's a legally purchased good used in a legit way.
