This is the dev that changed the license a while back from GPL to CC-BY-NC-ND because they got mad about forks.

The kicker here is that the AUR package they're whining about here is based on the last GPL version.

So he fucked his own packaging with the licenses and now blames the users for complaining? Common Windows Dev L

I can sympathize with being frustrated but that's silly

Eh. PCSX core ain't broke. Whatever. I'll live.

I suggest using Beetle mednafen, unless you're on a very slow system. Or Swanstation, it's not like that's going away.

PCSX is a lot less accurate.

So couldn't someone just fork from the version on AUR?

[–] Matriks404@lemmy.world -1 points 2 days ago

It doesn't matter what he does, because any project on GitHub can be forked, and it's in their TOS.

By creating a project there, he agreed to that TOS, so he can't disallow forks, simple as that.
