N64 For Android

[fearofshorts]

I too would love to see Ari credited. Whoever can (I don't fully understand the license), please contact Yonghz politely.

Hopefully Yonghz simply assumed that Ari's work was officially part of the Mupen project and he intended to release the code of it later. I'd like to think that this was a misunderstanding, rather than malicious license violation.

He removed all references to mupen64plus too. He is not acknowledging any of the developers.

Several people have asked him for the source code and he hasn't responded. This isn't some minor misunderstanding.

A copyright violation take-down notice send to google should do the trick imho

Since he seems to have been asked for sources already this is probably the only thing that can be done. Though it probably has to come from one of the "original creators" meaning eg from Ari64 or Adventus or someone from the Mupen64 team.

If I see him I'll ask him too.

I wonder why he wouldn't just credit people? For what it's worth, N64oid works better than Mupen64plus does. Zelda is running and he is updating like crazy to people citing bugs.

However, he really should credit everyone involved. I've emailed him a few times and he always gets back to me, so I will reach out to him again. Also, fwiw, he made mention that he is working on a Saturn emulator for Android as well. Hopefully that comes true.

Because then he would have to admit to violating GPL.

Also, fwiw, he made mention that he is working on a Saturn emulator for Android as well. Hopefully that comes true.

I wonder where he's planning to steal that from.

 

[fearofshorts]

Any update yet? Anyone received a response from him?
If this is malicious, I'd like it if the program could be taken down quickly, so that he does not profit too much off of a GPL violation.

What ever he bases it on it will be unplayable and more of a tech feat than anything. If he decides to charge for it the lad would need to get himself a Dick Turpin mask.

Several people are reporting that this is no longer available. Did google actually ban yongzh or is it just a glitch?

Don't think they banned him, but I don't see N64oid between his emulators: https://market.android.com/search?q=+yongzh+

Looks like Google actually pulled it.

More crap that Google needs to remove.

Some of the comments are briliant.

"This is stupid. It wont let me play a single game."

A fool and his money.

@Ari64 and others involved with n64 emu for ARM

Do you guys plan on releasing an Android version. Obviously there is a market for it and the Xperia Play is coming out next week. More Android gaming phones will be coming out and I'd gladly buy your version on Android.

 

[ari64]

People tell me that it does compile and run on Android. AFAIK, the only things yongzh added was touchscreen input and a java frontend.
