Interest In Commercial Games Or Free Only?

and to whoever was complaining about not being able to play his GP32 games anymore, if you search you'll find theres ways to crack your games and play them... dunno where, but I know it exists

​

Which begs the question: if he's just going to have to crack the games he's bought legitmately anyway, why bother protecting them in the first place?

The only person inconvienienced by copy protection is the legitimate user.
The strongest protection against piracy is community intolerance of piracy.

Yeah legal buyers of software have DRM to hassle with and the potential for the loss of the use of their software. Pirates get DRM free cracked stuff with the freedom to move anywhere they want and never have to worry about stuff ceasing to operate. DRM seems to encourage piracy to me. I know if I had the choice between DRMed or non DRMed the non-DRMed would be more attractive.

Software must be free(as in speech and beer)

I'm going to be playing the open source emulators.
