hey everyone Mrsjano here your source for gaming Tech emulation and open- Source news let's get [Music] started all right we'll kick things off with arguably some of the best news of 2024 apple is allowing emulators on their App Store I'm not joking with you this is a massive win for emulation so Apple just updated their App Store developer guidelines and in section 4. 7 game emulators are specifically called out and they go want to say additionally retro game console emulator apps can offer to download games now don't take this one the wrong way it's not like they're going to allow an emulator to download the entire game boy ROM collection this is mainly meant for stuff like Homebrew games and I think it's safe to say that these emulators will let you bring your own games for example if you've got your own collection of ROMs that you want to play in them in a year that's arguably been a little bit rough for emulation I would say this is an absolutely massive win let me know your thoughts about this one in the comments below and would you consider picking up an iPhone if you can actually use emulators with it but moving on and next up we're talking about Nintendo and Yuzu and the internet archive and it appears that Nintendo is playing whack-a-mole to try to remove Yuzu off the internet I have a feeling that this stuff is going to continue I'm assuming there's going to be Yuzu builds that keep popping up in Nintendo dmca taking them down I'm curious to know how much much this is costing Nintendo next up we're quickly talking about mednafen and medfin has just dropped version 1. 3 2.
1 and this is the first big official release in a couple of years now development on mednafen has been pretty active I mean in some months here they've had multiple releases but all of these have been unstable releases version 1. 32 is the first stable release since version 1. 29 so in this update we've got a whole bunch of bug fixes optimizing ations and improvements since version 1.
29 for those who may be unaware medin stands for subscribe to Mrsjano or my emulator doesn't need a freaking excellent Name depending on how you want to interpret that and mennin is a CLI a commandline interface if you're not comfortable with that a lot of people use something like Med GUI reborn I'll drop a link to this one in the description below as well but at the time of filming this one hasn't been updated yet and this is a end for meden moving on and we're talking about something that is more of just a matter of opinion bafta put out a players Poll for the most iconic video game character of all time and you may be surprised as to the winner of this thing so without delaying things here is the first place Lara Croft I'm kind of surprised to see Lara in first especially more popular than someone like Mario or Agent 47 I'm surprised that's in third place uh Sonic the Hedgehog in fourth sack booy in fifth Pacman in sixth Link in 7th and if I scroll down here Pikachu is in 12th I would argue that Pikachu is way more popular than Agent 47 anyways these are just people's opinions I think there were 4,000 people surveyed if you are curious about this I'll drop a link to the full list in the description below and I guess feel free to check it out next up we're quickly talking about Microsoft and if you've got an Xbox or even an Xbox Game Pass they're currently having a spring sale for up to 80% off on certain games and if we scroll down the list balers gate is already on sale for 10% off on top of that Mortal Kombat is 50% off Prince of Persia is 40% off Forza is 35% off and Diablo is 50% off next up we're quickly talking about modrin and op Source platform for Minecraft modding and modren just took some very interesting steps to secure its future I'll drop a link to their blog post in the description below but a year and a half ago they received about 1.
