Plot twist: Soulja Boy bought out Nintendo
Word is, He is in Dubai living his best life for now while reaping the rewards of "his" labour. He'll be back when that well dries up & Im sure Ninty will be there waiting to welcome him back & crank that ass at the same time
hahah yeah right i bet nintendo shoved a DMCA so far up his ass he shit his pants and caved in! idiot rappers think they can do anything they want by just talking and rhyming and calling it music
"media"Clearly he was uneducated on these things he had a mindset that just b/c the games are old he can re-sell them under his brand.
Glad this crap is over now ppl can talk about something different in the media
YouTube is a form of mass media nowadays, especially with bigger channels that regularly push out content"media"
When it was just YouTubers who had nothing else to make videos about and bought Soulja'' "products" to get views.
Its been popping up in various websites that have news feeds as well thanks to YouTube sources. The entire month of December thats all ppl ever talked about"media"

You know what, I know a lot of you are going to hate what I have to say but here it goes.
I'm pissed off at Soulja Boy. Not because he dared to get into the industry but because he gave up without correcting what was needed. We all know that selling Android boxes is not a crime but yes, he went about it the wrong way by including ROMs. Everyone here knows how I feel about Android boxes. That said I think Soulja really had something with the Fuze. He just needed a few alterations. I refuse to hate on any person that dares to enter the industry. It's never a easy venture and we as supporters of the industry should applaud people that try, even when we think their offering is useless. The catch as always is that the person making the venture needs to cover all bases and do things the right way. Here are a few thing he should have done...
1) nix all ROMs
2) drop the price to 99-129.99. That way it's competitive
3) open up an app store but just like OUYA, ONLY allow games with controller support
4) build a community via communication apps and message boards
5) change the UI of the Fuze so that it has proper Soulja branding.
6) have goals for your platform. OUYA's major issue was a lack of direction.
In hind sight it seems like Soulja was going at this alone. No marketing team, no IT department, nothing. It's a crying shame because for all the hate he received we all know that if any of us had the same ability to do what he did, we would have our own vision of how things should be done. I'm pretty sure that many of us here would love to create and release our own platform if we could (...hell I'm surprised that Temp hasn't partnered up with hardware manufacturers to make their own box ).
I'm done ranting. I just wanted to get my final two cents out because, while I see a lot of people hating, I don't see many people thinking about the shoe being on the other foot. Many of us will one day take a stab at trying to enter the industry, either as journalist, developers, R&D engineers and so on. Instead of stepping over each other, as a community we need to learn to mentor, give constructive criticism when needed and support new ideas.
How is that the same?well recently he went underfire cauz he was sponsored to promote a gambling site to kids and even plays victim.
Are you still blathering about emulation quality?If you're going to do something like this, use consoles that have hardware/software that doesn't run worse than from something in 1995. Chinese companies really need to use CPUs and emulators that run better than Zsnes.

Simiarly ZSNES works for a lot of people. If you start going to try to impress the golden ear (or people that like to believe they have a golden ear) and similar such people it rapidly becomes a game of diminishing returns.

I agree most Chinese consoles do far worse than tech, and software (even if we don't bruise copyright statutes, if we do, and it is China so no big ask, then even better yet) might actually afford far better than we see, possibly even more so if they decided to look into some of the embedded intel stuff where they would have an even easier time still if software is going to be the more likely limiting factor. I would love to see someone push it to the limit on a budget and give me a hard choice if I am sitting there looking at a 3ds or switch or something with their barely a handful of forgettable games with barren upcoming release charts. Following on from the "how many of us dreamed about" thing above I dare say I am waiting for someone to come out with something such that I could find a design of it, swap out things for a nice dpad with microswitches, a couple of sticks with buttons to match, an oled or better screen of the right PAR and resolution to scale by whole numbers easily enough and then make a consistent UI (I would rather that than the current fetish for all in one emulator programs) and feature set a la the xbox emulator scene to give me a 16 bit and older (including Amiga) and possibly PS1 emulator device.I can't say I have a golden ear, and unless pointed out normally I couldn't tell the difference between zsnes and bsnes. The problem is, zsnes was actually pretty decent. You'd get 60fps. You wouldn't get perfect sound, but it was in the realm of acceptable. A lot of Chinese* clones that do SNES do a horrible job of it, unless they pirate SNES9x**. Then there's AtGames which actually uses a Genesis on a Chip and still fucked up the sound because they couldn't bother to set the clock rate right. Honestly, I'd love to see a Chinese clone undercut AtGames precisely for their general incompetence.
My point is, it's clearly not that we don't have the hardware or even the software--mame should have a decent enough snes core, there's mednafen, there's bsnes--that could be legally used. There's clearly not a lot of consideration for copyright or even doing the job properly, though, on most fronts. It's why the Raspberry Pi has been so successful, along with hackable things like the Dingoo (and many many clones of it). That's the sad part: a few devote hobbyists almost always do a better job than the companies themselves.

That said despite such a thing probably being possible since the PSP was mid life (bit later if I am to do X86 as my base) I have not had it, and probably could have done the fiddly stuff with CPUs and all their fiddly requirements if I had truly cared.
It was more I was bored of seeing the_randomizer spam up threads like this

with not terribly well thought through points (either through general relevance, possibly being of minor interest to a small handful of people, relevance to the problem at hand, missing the point of some of the things going on) which gets tedious to see repeatedly happen.
If it does the job that needs to be done...there's no excuse to not change

I actually don't think he has to do a thing, if I understand drop shipping correctly. I think as soon as you order on his website, Ali Express or whatever, fills the order and ships it for him? I could be totally wrong though.Wonder if he'll still ship out units to the people that bought them?
How is that ad populum?Argumentum ad populum, just because something is widespread and popular doesn't make it necessarily good. It's 2006, Zsnes is dead, time to move on to better things. But whatever, you seem hellbent on calling me out anyway, so what's the point in continuing this? What do I know? I'm just an aspie who can't decide where to take his arguments.
THE whole story just remind me another rapper, that's it. i didn't say everything mattersHow is that the same?
