Newgrounds emulation..?

Posted by Taka - April 26th, 2022


I was just pondering and I thought it would be a interesting topic to talk about. Now it's about emulating games through a newgrounds game. Basically the idea is the a emulator a game on newgrounds that can access your files and open roms or gdi files to play games. Now the first issue I think of is it being legal, i heard from Scott the Woz that emulators are legal however roms and such aren't. Ergo as long as there isn't roms in the application then its ok right..? The second issue is opening roms from the browser which I don't know if that's possible. Either way I just thought it would be fun do discuss this though I had so yeah. Good day all!

opening files through an html5 embed (scratch, even too if you utilize it correctly) is definetely possible. take scratch as i mentioned as an example. in the HTMLifier converter there's an option that allows the user to upload a sprite to the project as-is or something. so perhaps using a formatted way you could allow users to upload mods temporarily to a scratch game as a sprite. think about it. you could make a full sprite that tells the game to set certain variables to such-and-such, and there's your entrypoint

I saw some games developed using GB Studio once on this site. I'd imagine it is okay, as long as you made it yourself.
