I knew people would start talking about emulators and ROMs. That's all Ouya is good for, it seems.

All it's good for at launch, maybe.

Give the box some time. Right now, having (legally/morally questionable) access to a huge library of awesome games is the big news because Ouya-specific software and media options are limited. But the people supporting Ouya are hoping this changes over time. In a year from now we'll have a much better idea of what Ouya is good for.

I will say that TowerFall looks awesome. If Ouya gets more games like that, and some official support from media streaming sources like NetFlix, then it would be easy to justify the cost.

I was playing Organ Trail and it was quite fun

Organ Trail looks pretty funny. I didn't notice the title of the game at first and was like, "How the hell did they get to use the Oregon Trail name?"

To be honest I have only installed a couple of games so far and haven't had five minutes to play them. The shop interface could use some work, no doubt. It currently looks like the old Wii Netflix interface where it's just a bunch of squares (and a screen shot or title image) with names or genres...it would greatly benefit them to redesign it ASAP. Something closer to the Xbox 360's second dashboard layout (the "NXE" design) would look a lot better. Also developers should do a better job adding screenshots or descriptions, or have a review process where they get advice from people on the actual Ouya team. FPSe is one of the best reasons to have an Ouya, but they screenshots look terrible.

Got back from vacation a couple days ago and just started getting into the Ouya. Rooted it and installed CWM and Google Play this morning, installed Dead Trigger as the first non-Ouya game, runs amazingly. This is nothing to brag about these days, but it could easily pass as an early Xbox 360 game (Condemned or Quake 4). Just installed Adobe Flash and Adfree Android, as well as Pandora. Pretty awesome so far, I am very happy with my decision. Just bought ePSXe (already bought FPSe a while ago), gonna give it a whirl as well as N64oid and MAME 4 All...good stuff.

Brb, I'm gonna hack my PS3 and download Super Nintendo games.

Seriously, why not just get the games through the Virtual Console?

Virtual Console no longer has River City Ransom

Yes it does (at least in North America).

Yes, the Virtual Console and it's amazing range of games is quite comparable to having any game for NES, SNES, etc.

. . . for free.

TJ Spyke · « **Reply #309 on:** July 17, 2013, 01:17:10 PM »

...illegally

Morari · « **Reply #310 on:** July 17, 2013, 01:48:34 PM »

...like on your PSP.

Edit: Mistake corrected. All Sony products are the same to me.

TJ Spyke · « **Reply #311 on:** July 17, 2013, 02:04:00 PM »

I've never owned a PS Vita (or even used one other than a demo in GameStop).

BranDonk Kong · « **Reply #312 on:** July 17, 2013, 02:18:52 PM »

PSP. And victimless crime.

TJ Spyke · « **Reply #313 on:** July 17, 2013, 02:23:02 PM »

Not victimless, that's just what pirates say to justify their crimes.

BranDonk Kong · « **Reply #314 on:** July 17, 2013, 02:51:47 PM »

Is that what you said when you bought a PSP because of how easy it was to pirate games? And PLEASE explain to me who is being hurt by me playing SNES and NES ROMs on my Ouya. Please. Tell me who the victim is. Also, please show me anyone who has been charged with a crime for playing NES or SNES ROMs on a home console or PC, and who pressed charges and was represented in court for the harm caused to them by someone playing their games on their console or PC.

nickmitch · « **Reply #315 on:** July 17, 2013, 09:35:06 PM »

I'll tell you who is being hurt: THE MAN! Bout time somebody stuck it to 'em!

pokepal148 · « **Reply #316 on:** July 17, 2013, 11:12:15 PM »

Nintendo having one less reason to support the VC... this hurting anybody who actually wants to BUY those games

BranDonk Kong · « **Reply #317 on:** July 17, 2013, 11:28:52 PM »

You're kidding, right? Do you think this is something new? Do you think this is in any way competition for the Virtual Console?

It's a little different when the manufacturer uses piracy as one of the SELLING POINTS of the system (which is like admitting its not good enough for people to buy games on it).

Oblivion · « **Reply #319 on:** July 18, 2013, 01:52:41 AM »

You mean what OTHER people are using to advertise it. Pretty sure I don't see emulators in their list of features to pimp out themselves: https://www.ouya.tv/discover/

Especially when I'm fairly certain you have to sideload the emulators. Brandogg, am I correct? I don't own and Ouya or an Android device.

TJ Spyke · « **Reply #320 on:** July 18, 2013, 02:07:59 AM »

You mean the company's executives touting the ease of hacking the system (I believe it was even in the Kickstarter) are OTHER people advertising it? When they announced it on Kickstarter they openly mentioned how easy it would be to hack. Yes, I am SURE they didn't know that most people doing that would be for piracy.

Oblivion · « **Reply #321 on:** July 18, 2013, 02:12:57 AM »

Hacking = Piracy? Come on dude, that's just fucking insulting. I know you're smarter than that.

Morari · « **Reply #322 on:** July 18, 2013, 02:17:36 AM »

Hackers ≠ Crackers
Open source must be a scary concept though... no corporate overlords.

BranDonk Kong · « **Reply #323 on:** July 18, 2013, 08:59:33 AM »

TJ you're not making any sense.

There are emulators in the Ouya store (and they are free, aside from FPSe, which is ironic considering what those initials stand for), just like there are emulators in the Windows Store, and the App Store, and Google Play.

You do not need to hack the Ouya to play emulators (or to pirate games if that's your thing), it also doesn't make it easy (easier) to pirate anything if you hack the system.

But again, please, show me anyone whowas arrested, any company that tried to sue someone for playing ROMs from a DEFUNCT CONSOLE, etc - or show where Ouya advertises its console as being for piracy, playing ROMs, etc. Please. Surely you can't just be making this **** up, you would never do that...

The Ouya people did feature emulators in some of their marketing around the system's launch.
