/me yawns. Just some blogger complaining he can't play his licensed roms on Android.
Who uses emu's for homebrew roms these days, seriously!
Nice cheap stab at Android Christina Warren.
Arguably Sega are missing out on some considerable revenues... in most technological situations, we go for the newest and latest: why should I play Super Mario, when I've got Angry Birds? Those who chose to play Super Mario reconnected the idea of Super Mario, with that joy they experienced only as a child... now multiply this effect of dedication to the old by eveyr person over the age of 18... We all have the one game we wanna go back and be 6,7, or 8 and play, but we can't. Those games just aren't on offer when it comes to the PS3, X360, PSP Go, or any other platform, but we do know that current handheld devices are very capable of emulating Sega, N64, PS1... so instead of fighting "homebrew warez" - the fact an emulator was created, the fact someone archived the rom, why don't they just embrace it, and create an endless market of re-extended life for old games, supported by the memories and joy those games gave us?
Yet these companies don't provide any reasonable mechanism for doing this on their own. Where are the official Sega and Nintendo licensed system emulators/applications for modern devices, where are the cheap officially licensed ROMs? They create a fuss but offer no solutions. Well, the beauty of Android is that it's still easy to install APKs without the Android Marketplace.

I played something similar on XBOX 360, or maybe it was the same. However, if I'm playing at home on my PC or 360, I'm going to be playing one of my modern favorites. When I'm in bed trying to fall asleep or just bored waiting for some experiments to finish, I'll whip out the phone and revisit a classic favorite. I don't have any FPS issues with Android emulators (Gensoid, SNESoid, GBA). Maybe you're talking about PSOne emulator?
