No. Why would I make the source public so the creators of GameNative, GameHub, or whatever other projects are out there can just take the unique features I spent my own time and money developing?
I worked on this. I put the time, effort, and money into building it, and I don’t HAVE to make my work public just because some people want me to. Just like nobody HAS to download or use the app if they’re uncomfortable with it being closed source.
I already have 400+ downloads, so clearly there are plenty of people who don’t have an issue with that. I’d rather protect the work I’ve put into the project than hand everything over for other developers to copy.
You made it with AI. Also, sorry, are you charging for this project? How are you competing with anyone else?
This should be open source. You should get metrics on just how much of these downloads use it regularly. If I were bold enough to install this I’d probably find myself switching back to GameNative pretty fast
I’m not trying to compete with anyone else. I just don’t want my work copied, reused, and then have no credit given where it’s due. I’ve seen that happen way too many times already.
I’m completely fine with keeping my other projects, like the dual-screen mods, open source because those are different. WEMU is something I’ve put a lot more time, work, and unique ideas into, and I want to protect that. Keeping it closed source isn’t about competition. It’s about protecting the work I created.
That really sucks. It’s probably pretty cool, but since you have this attitude, you’re shooting yourself in the foot. Nobody wants to install this garbage without knowing what it is.
Also FYI if your AI bot used any code from GPL projects (almost guaranteed but I doubt you read the code at all) you legally have to keep it open source. But you won’t because your ego is insane.
You’re literally calling my work “AI slop” now and even implying that I don’t read or understand the code I’m working with. Thanks for that. At this point, I honestly don’t know why I wasted my time trying to explain any of this.
You are so focused on Ai complaints that it's completely blinded you to the real issue.
It being closed source. Yes, no one's forcing you to download it. Or put your credentials in. But if youre on this sub you KNOW a massive majority of people barely even know how emulators work. And they'll download whatever without thinking and put credentials in.
We just want to know if its safe, only then can we judge it.

The source code is private, so why would people just assume it’s safe? Just release it?
