"Pizza Boy A Basic" emulator back into Google Play Store free and without ads

unnamed.png

2024 has been a hard year for emulator and homebrew enthusiasts, with many websites and projects being taken down, like some GitHub homebrew projects, and others have been sued, as was the case with Yuzu, which sadly took Citra down as collateral damage as well.

Given the whole ordeal that occurred with the Yuzu situation, many emulator developers started to take defensive stances to avoid any kind of legal action by big corporations, with some even claiming to abandon their projects altogether. One such case was that of Pizza Boy, which got removed from the Google Play Store back in March after the resolution of Yuzu's case was made public.

After almost two months from the whole ordeal, just a couple of days ago italian developer Davide Berra announced that, after a lot of consideration and talking with several people both out and in the field of emulation, he has decided to revisit and bring back some applications into the Play Store, with the one to start off would be the Pizza Boy emulator, and the application this time would be free and also advertiser-free as well.

With Apple's recent changes in policy to allow emulator applications into their App Store, we can only hope that both developers and their emulator continue to thrive and grow without fear or worries, and that emulators see more and more platforms to flourish in.

Payment method of roms? Economy so bad I can't use paper money anymore I guess. Time to disassemble my cartridges, small price to pay for pizza I guess. But if it ask me for a bios, I'm screwed, unless it accepts phone bios. :ninja:
I paid for the bios in tendocoin. The new NEW crypto currency developed by Emlon Mask.

When I play, I always connect this controller to my phone:

For emulators? I mean, to run PS3, Xbox, Xbox 360, and Switch emulators it's certainly better, but before that I really can't complain as I have the consoles I want already installed (thankfully it's none of those).

Oh, so this is that fabled Pizza Tower prequel that's alluded in the game, I see


lol
does anyone really uses android to play emulators?
I suppose for something like the DS it can be alright, since, y'know, touch screen and all.
For everything else, myself I prefer actually using a controller, eh.

I'm not optimistic about the situation. Even if this emulator has returned, albeit without the pay upgrades, I know Nintendo might go on a rampage again.

Also, it pisses me off that one of the developers is Italian like me...

emulators are legal. they might remove it cause of fear but not cause of law.

They can't remove the APKs from the web. 😆
