This is probably the world\'s most expensive SNES emulator on the planet but it is still pretty slick:

Isn't "expensive" and "emulator", two words that should not be used on the same sentence? Actually isn't an emulator something that is supposed to be free? What happened to coding courtesy anyway? What happened to pure geekiness? Guess what? Apple happened!
What? You want to be a geek for free? GTFO!
Jeez guys, there are people developing Linux and Compiz Fuzion and giving it for free for God's sake. |

No.

No. A developer can do what he wants with his creations.
Sell them (his right) or give them away for free (and you should be grateful but not pretending like an asshole).

It's alive and well, thank you for asking.

Honor to them. Do something useful you too and don't pretend to be constantly fed for free.
And now pay attention ...
Snes HD is free and you, yes EVEN SOMEONE LIKE YOU can get it from Cydia.
The "most expensive" is probably related to the fact the hardware is a little expensive. An iPad and some iPhone/iPod maybe as controllers.
So you barked for nothing. |

A lot of haters of apple bark for nothing the second they see the subject line without reading the post. It's common. This thing looks amazing. And I didn't notice any tearing. Might want to see further demos of some faster paced snes games. A genesis emulator would work better with only 3 buttons. The shoulder buttons seem to be difficult to push.
looks like a good reason enough for me to get an iPAD. Just time will tell if 4.0 can be as easy accessed as was 3.2. |

First of all, get off my back and don't give me this "even someone like you" attitude. You don't know me and you don't know what I offer.
The title read "the most expensive snes emulator". How the fuck should I know that they meant the whole package?
And yes I usually bark at anything APPLE, because they deserve it. APPLE is one more company that has absolute dimwits for the main body of their clientele. Who the fuck do they think they are charging arms, legs and nuts for their half baked hardware?
It is funny what people are attracted to and are willing to spend a huge amount of money for something like an ipad lol. |

It's amazing when you have no idea about the hardware except the specsheet that you completely know everything about hardware. It's adorable of all the apple haters out there. Apple offers a lot for a lot.
Yes, you can have an amazing machine that'll do just about everything an apple machine can do and so much better.
But apple is about simplicity, performance, functionality and accessibility.
If you can offer that through any other service than what apple provides either through iPAD, itouch, iphone or OSX then I'll gladly sing a different tune. |

I'm judging you from what you are saying.

Like everyone else, myself included.
If you are too busy or too lazy don't post if you don't know what you are posting about.
Alternatively you can protect your back with something like "If I'm not mistaken" or "from what I understood".
Instead you have chosen to bark to the authors and cited examples of good (by your standards) behavior to them.

Skipping the off topic section.
A simple "oh sorry, I was wrong" or silence would have been enough. |
