I tried to install an old version of San Andreas recently on my phone cause the last update broke controller support (which I actually bought with money).
Apparently we don’t own our Android OBB directories anymore because of “safety”.
So far the “we Android users already have this”…
Yep, it’s unfortunate that manufacturers are taking more and more control away from users. That’s why open-source software like Linux is so important, you can do anything you want to with it.
Back in the old days, Android OS used to be Open Source. You can still get firmware built up from the last release, such as CalyxOS, but in order to install it you have to buy directly from Google with the Bootloader Unlocked as a feature.
Not really. Fairphone also has the Bootloader unlocked.
That’s true.
Are Fairphones feasible right now if one wants to play even intense games like emulating PS2 or Switch?
Idk. Give me your Emulator and i’ll try it for you
No shit, really? You’re the man.
The emulator is called AetherSX2.
Now, for ROMs… I’d gladly share the link for one here on Lemmy, but idk if I’d be violating any rules
I’ m sorry, bu you’re going to have to send me the links for the bios, game etc.
I really don’t think it’s against any rules here.
God of War (PS2) - ROM Bios files should be all these here.
Sorry for the long wait, holiday periods are a mess for me.
EDIT: I wouldn’t be surprised if it doesn’t work straightaway. I was reading into the comments, and it seems emulating PS2 is a bit of a hassle, specially since there are different behaviors for this specific emulator depending on the version.
Yeah Android is Linux. But Manufactures are limiting it so hard that it is sometimes nearly impossible to get a custom ROM on the phone.
Yes. The openess of the operating system is meaningless if the phone’s firmware isn’t open.
It’s open source so that anyone can manufacture a phone for it (good for business), not so you could install whatever you want on the hardware (bad for business)…
Yeah but unfortunately with Android it’s what Google wants and not what the end-user wants. That’s why Linux itself is very important, the user gets to decide what they want to do with it.
