Another way of viewing the use of “wild west” was exactly that, the lack of over regulation and a more hands off government. In reality it wasn’t the utopia some want to make it out to be as slang like “snake oil salesmen” alludes.
Meh, the scene for custom softwares on PS2s, phones, psps, PS3 Emulation, etc are still going strong. We only really just figured out how to emulate the PS3 a couple of years ago.
ah man that sucks. I kinda like XDA and polygon.
Yeah XDA is (or I guess, was) invaluable for custom ROMs for Android. There’s a huge modding/coding community on XDA.
Which has always been funny to me because they started as a Windows Mobile modding site.
Sadly the wild west days of custom ROMs is mostly over :(
You say “wild west” as if they were doing something uncivilized, but running the code you choose is nothing more than exercising your property rights.
The marginalization/destruction of custom ROMs isn’t civilization catching up, it’s totalitarianism closing in.
Think this is what they meant
