I think from now on we will see a lot of commercial products using emulators. First PS Classics and now capcom ... Maybe soon N64 mupen64... etc. This is fair and logical no one needs to reinvent the wheel (why recreate the software when we already have a decade-old excellent one.). I think the law should evolve to regulate those partnerships between open source and commercial products so that each part's interests are protected: like for example a 60-40 or 80-20 distribution of revenues between the company and software active members ... etc.

At first I was confused why they kept showing that logo but wow. They actually made the device itself in the shape of the company logo. What the actual fuck? How lazy can people get?

200 euro? That's fusee vuln Switch money. I think I'd prefer the Atari vcs. More bang for buck. Probably much more powerful. Prettier too.

Apparently Capcom is using a non-commercial emulator in this, FB Alpha, and they didn't get the proper licensing to do so. It's causing some drama, of course:

If interested, feel free to read about how FBA supposedly has a deal to go commercial with Capcom (actually Koch Media GmbH under license from CAPCOM) and how basically no one believes they can make a deal because they pulled it source from multiple non-commercial projects to make FB Alpha on top of active contributors to FB Alpha. So, yea, I really want to see this burn.

Wow, Capcom are a bunch of cheapskate dicks.

"FBAlpha has been licensed by Capcom Home Arcade."

Capcom is the mother company of most games we enjoy today... I don't understand why people are being negative toward this project. I don't think Capcom would make such a mistake and damage their reputation.

The thing is: any license for FB Alpha is for non-commercial use only, you're meant to be able to do anything with it except profit off of it. It also isn't his alone to license out. Others who helped develop the emulator are not happy about Barry's decision. It's all in the video I posted.
