>xbox got free PS1 BC before PS4

aren't there some probems with the law? Copyright n shit?

it doesn't include roms so no

Too bad I already own a GBA and a PS1 as well as a PS4, so I'll be having too much fun playing Bloodborne never ever PCucks to care about some shitty xbox emulator

Emulators themselves don't violate any copyrights since they don't use original source code. Technically the only illegal part of using emulators is downloading the roms, which is done by the user and thus isn't the responsibility of the person making the emulator. It's similar to the loophole used by owners of torrent tracking websites.

these are already on the windows store, so not surprised at all. I'd actually be very surprised if happened.

i think he means the emulator doesn't include roms. You have to download the roms on your own. Seperate from the emulator.

Are you retarded? He meant the emulator doesn't come with ROMs.

Completely not what he said you moron learn to read.

Except the fucking bios

the emulator doesn't include roms, so it's not unlawful in any way. It's a program made (and in this case ported?) by a person that has jack shit to do with microsoft. It's absolutely legal.

Every PS1 emulator I've used didn't come with a bios.

oh no you don't

You can emulate the BIOS. Most games don't require you to have the actual BIOS installed.

Explain how this will work. Emulators are allowed, but ROMs are illegal so it can't come with any installed. Xbone has no way to access downloads, other than through external media devices. But it only supports media files, like PNG/MP3/MKV etc. Not executables. There's no way to gets ROMs on an XBone.

Where were you when #XboxWon?

Yeah, I realized that and deleted my post.

wait what

is that even legal?

GBA requires a bios file though.

I remember downloading some kind of emulator in high school, and when I started it up it says "please load your legally obtained bios, now". That shit cracked me up.

1. No respectable emu comes with a bios since its copyrighted like the roms

2. Most gba and psx emulators doesnt even require the bios for running games.

says you lol

what is this fucking thread

Simple, rename the roms as PNG files.

True. M$ could allow executables through a USB/External HDD> But after the 360 hacks I doubt they will. It seems pointless, unless Edge in the future allows downloads.

ROMs aren't executables you fuckwit

if i can recall
emulators are legal

but i think the bios thing or whatever and roms are not legal

Explain how you would even get roms on the Xbone. There's literally zero ways, so the emulator is pintless.

A rom is not an executable. I've never used an xbone, just saying.

The article headline said emulator are coming to XBOX, not emulation.

Put them on a flash drive?

But they're still not a media format, that's my point. Xbone doesn't allow anything other than media files after the 360 USB modding days.

So where do you get the games

The emulator is the exe you dimwit

And then what? The XBone doesn't detect them, as they're not a media file.

same place we always got the games for emulators from.

yeah and when you plug it in it deletes every single non-media file
do you fucking realize that the emulator can just find a path to the usb drive and use the files off of it

Rename them to a format it does detect?
ROMs are just archives of a bunch of different shit, what the file extension is doesn't matter at all.

google it or rather use bing and search for GBA roms

youre welcome xbone users

So you think M$ will allow a random app they have no control over, to bypass their media security checks to pull roms through? Have fun waiting for that to happen.

The Xbox One becomes less console like and more media-device like every day.

>do you fucking realize that the emulator can just find a path to the usb drive and use the files off of it
There's no way they'd allow that to happen. The 360 was jailbroken and allowed USB mods regardless purely because of a similiar exploit.

I don't play games.om my Xbox. Use it for Plex, Netflix Hulu nd now twitch with sgdq.

Switching to my ps4 thought. The Xbox has slowdowns like a moyhetfucker.

I'll use it when fh3 comes out

The emulator should have to be programmed to recognize the file extension, so far as I know. Also, I'm pretty sure changing file extensions can cause loss of data. Like, if you changed an image to a .txt extension and back to an image extensions, you can lose shit.

Otherwise, yes, a rom is just an archive.

Does MS want to be sued by Sony AND Nintendo? Are they retarded?

Holy shit Xbox one is so powerful it can emulate Gameboy

What? No you don't you fucking moron.

You have absolutely no fucking idea what you're saying.

Why would changing extension change th

God fucking damn it you got me mad

>emulating handhelds at a stationary place

>The emulator should have to be programmed to recognize the file extension
Obviously it would be, if it's the only way it'll work.
Just renaming does nothing to the file itself.
Changing a jpg's file extension to txt, opening it with a text editor and saving it, then renaming it back is what fucks it up, because the text editor does a bunch of stupid shit automatically.

Because of the new Xbone games on Windows 10, does this mean I'll be able to emulate game boy games on my PC now?

Yes, it is finally possible.

>Riviera: The Promised Land
>Yggdra Union
Good taste, though the PSP/PPSSPP versions are better

>XBOX WON
Not really. I mean, all of its games will now also be available on PC making the XB1 quite redundant as a gaming platform. All while the XB1 is becoming more and more like a PC and less and less like a regular gaming console.

It's essentially just a weaker, less open and more closed off, PC.

>Switching to my ps4 thought. The Xbox has slowdowns like a moyhetfucker.

>thinks ps4 is any better at this

hoooohoho

just get a PC at that point, you moron.

and normies will still buy it, none of my coworkers or friends have a gaming pc that own a console. If they talk about pc games it will be League of Legends because everyone has a $100 laptop

Post yfw teenage gamers try to explain to you whats illegal

Nowhere in this article does it say PS1 anywhere you little shit biscuit

I do. I'm an idort.

neat

>inb4 sony throws a shitfit

Yeah and its the users job to track it down and install it.
Can you even fucking read?

Meanwhile you have to pay for Nintendo's Gameboy/GBA emulators. Guess who's consoles I'm not gonna buy?

>soniggers and nintendrones aremad

Put the roms in your OneDrive folder and access them from there when XboxOne gets OneDrive if it doesn't have it already.

That's how it was done on WP 8.0. Apps could pull whatever files from OneDrive while mass storage access was restricted.

Emulators are legal.

Roms aren't.

And even when Roms are illegal, MS isn't going to be held responsible, we are. It's the same concept on PC: Emulators are legal, Roms aren't, yet we download the Roms and don't get v&'d anyways.

It's a elaborate loophole MS has going on.

>Microsoft lacking with games that they have to steal old games from Sony and Nintendo
kek

...

the name and logo both contains elements that are meant to mislead the consumer into thinking it's a nintendo product. "GBA" itself associated with that console shape will lead them to the court with 0% chance to win.

They are. Riviera is my favorite game but I still haven't beaten the extra PSP dungeon because I haven't found a physical copy.

The user usually downloads those too if they are needed.

Sony atleast is going to sue them using american court. And they are going to win considfering emotions matter more there than actual laws.

>PC got PS1 BC AND Xbone exclusives before the bone

I really hope this is falseflagging.

>they are going to win considfering emotions matter more there than actual laws.
You need to go outside user. You've been cooped up listening to retarded memes for too long.

Kill yourself xbot.

>i will play ps1 games on my xbone before sonyshills play them on the ps4
What level of irony even is this? The best part is xbone will get the good naughty dog games while ps4 gets remakes of edgy dark man with pedobait.

>xbox is getting everybody's games
>xbox is approaching becoming a pc
>ps has nothing new coming ever
Lol

>getting everyone's games
lol no they aren't

>old ass games

This inb4 came too late user. It was always going to be too late.

damn, literally no reason to own a ps4 now.

Are you ok?

>triggered
Thats okay guys I really missed playing spyro. Thank god I can play it with a good controller finally instead of those angled ass dildos from hell you guys use.

>all these words
ok________________________________________________________

I don't understand the purpose of stuff like this. Anybody who was even remotely interested in playing any GBA games and don't have the system would've emulated it a decade ago.

>he's so assblasted he can't even respond
>unable to even read
Yes words put together make sentences which form facts and opinions such as the fact xbox just shit on you.

On a serious note one of the big advantages of using a pc over a console has always been it's versatility and ability to run other software (which allowed for things like emulators therefore more games) so this is actually a big step for consoles across the board.

>It's similar to the loophole used by owners of torrent tracking websites.
Because that's worked so well for the owners of TPB.

It's convenience. I enjoy playing through a GBA game every now and then, but if I could do it from my couch in the living room I'd definitely enjoy it. I've already got a PS3 that can do that, and don't own an xbone, but it's always nice to have options.

Nintencucks on suicide watch

>pay $300+ to play GBA Emulators

Cheapest way to get into emulating on the market since computers cost more than 500 on average. Go to bed sonycuck you're the only one pissed by this because you know you wont get this for 2 more console generations, if you ever do.

>Cheapest way to get into emulating on the market
PSP is cheap as fuck. Ouya is an option as well, if you really need something on your TV. Stop this falseflagging, not even xbots are this dumb.

>psp
>not just using your phone or pc

The Gameboy Advance was the worst Nintendo handheld.

Prove me wrong.

You can buy a shitty laptop for $100-200 that will emulate a lot more than GBA or PS1.

>Because that's worked so well for the owners of TPB.
Which is different to utorrent etc. TPB psychically hosted the pirated files, instead of giving you the means to use their service to download them through a different host.

>psp
Oh you mean the only thing more laughable than the xbone?
>ouya
Well you proved me wrong before I could even respond. The only thing even more laughable than the psp
