This is very fair, but then again, my parents would get confused over the difference between an Xbox and a PlayStation, so take that for what you will.

I believe RCPS3 uses a translation layer in order to achieve its accuracy, so I think porting it would be relatively easy. Then again, the last words of any programer are that something should be relatively easy.

Higher end mobile processors could but it is a big jump in computational load, not just because of the increased processing power of the PS3, but also because it is quite architecturally different from traditional x86 CPUs.

This is why it's kind of amazing how efficient RPCS3 is.

It might be a ripoff, but my question to you is should that be illegal? The entirety of humanity is monkey see monkey do iteration on our previous ideas. It's a dubious thing to litigate.

To add to that, no fan of either is going to confuse one for the other, so where's the issue?

sharing aesthetic shouldn't be enough to prosecute, especially in the case of patents.

My biggest defense against any claim like that is that they're identifiably distinct. You put two of them side by side and not a single fan of either will be confused which is which.

Ah, I just assumed, thanks for the correction.

It's still identifiably distinct, I really hope Nintendo lose because allowing copyright of a concecpt is dystopian especially in the context of our lengthy time frames for copyright.

It reminds me of when Apple wanted to patent the idea of rounded corners.

Back in the early 2010s, I used to work for AT&T but lived in a place with good internet and I'd be selling 24 megabits per second internet to people while I had symmetrical gigabit.

It absolutely broke my heart.

Most high refresh rate screens on a phone will adjust dynamically to the use-case as to not waste battery.

Apple's big selling point is the Apple ecosystem and their familiar UI to the phone market, If you're an new player trying to take market share, it only makes sense that you copy their UI.

That being said, use whatever works for you.

At least it wasn't Forty Six and 2.
