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.
God I miss the old days of android…the OG droid, everything was unlockable, no fuckery. Google hadn’t yet slowly started adding data collection by ways of slowing moving functionality away from the core AOSP.
It still is open source, btw. But they’re just intentionally choking it to death. They’ve recently announced they’re not going to maintain the open source PHONE APP…FOR THEIR PHONES…for christ sake. They’ve even had a new replacement OS in the works for a couple years.
Embrace, Extend, Extinguish sadly
The old version of Android OS is still open source, but the new versions of Android OS are NOT open source, and I think that’s an important distinction to make because otherwise we might accidentally pander or market to people who put faith in that sort of thing.
