Since you made me go look wtf it was...

"Fast PlayStation 1 emulator for x86-64/AArch32/AArch64/RV64"

Ffs.... I loved this emu.

Just grep the source for "wayland" and you'll see what I mean.

and

# Refuse to build in Arch package environments

MATCHES ".*archlinux.*")

Not sure if there is more to this, but it seems like it screws over X11 users for no reason (I'm still using a 1050Ti).

Just fork it lol

Gamers can be the most entitled demanding assholes. Arch users can be the most annoying arrogant and conceited people to exist online.

I wouldn't dare imagine dealing with the unholy mix of arch gamers min-maxing social skills for inferiority complex.

I'd rather drop support too.

I think this should have been anticipated after the license change.

Linux users are entitled children? Perish the thought.

Sad news. This is the only PSX emu I've ever used because I always considered it the best.

This is the dev that changed the license a while back from GPL to CC-BY-NC-ND because they got mad about forks.

The kicker here is that the AUR package they're whining about here is based on the last GPL version.

Yeah. That's a pretty shitty license to move to for endusers and others. Disallowing derivatives, etc. is within their rights but, really a dick move but, considering this commit message, not surprising.

Would have to go back to before the license change in September 2024. The current license basically forbids forks, from my reading.

It's actually not within their rights (I am NOT a lawyer)

GPL code is still owned by the person who wrote it, that includes contributors who have made a PR. Unless they all signed CLAs (Contributor License Agreements) to hand over their copyright to the repository owner, the repository owner does not hold copyright for this code, and as such can't legally change the license. They can use and distribute it as specified in the license terms of the GPL, but that excludes changing the license.

Dude has a history of acting bipolar.

So he fucked his own packaging with the licenses and now blames the users for complaining? Common Windows Dev L

Lmao welcome to the world of open source

Project doesn't have an issue tracker, wonder why

Kinda reminds me of when Lizardbyte had a falling out with the Arch base re:Sunshine.

It sucks but I can understand considering how terminally online and entitled a lot of users are, plus there’s an AppImage for this still so hopefully that covers the gap.

Yeah im sure someone will fork and it will be named chickensation or whatever. Then we will move on.

Hope the developer feels better. Its easy to get burnt out on passion projects. If I were to guess, this is what is happening. They are going to say some pretty insane things in the next couple of weeks and then get a handle on their life.

Ive always liked: epsxe myself. Works well and no real drama. Its a very old console.

I’m on a mobile 1050 and wayland, thing rocks

Yeah im sure someone will fork and it will be named chickensation or whatever. Then we will move on.
