Welcome to the ArgylleCast.

Why aren’t it chapters in Apple Podcasts?

I’m so glad I watched the entire episode. I’m psyched for Saturday Samsung now.

On the $20/month Netflix-style service for old NES and super nintendo games, this already exists. It's called Nintendo Switch Online. Comes with GBA, SNES, NES, and N64 games on the Switch.

Surprising lack of Pokemon games on Nintendo Switch Online. Have to own a Switch. No translations or ROM hacks. It's not quite complete and zero iOS support which is why Delta is so successful.

Hello Verge , when do you think google will offer a subscription phone. Do you feel it coming ?

They already did. They had this Google pixel subscription style thing going, and it died after about a year.

apple allows emulators like delta because of EU regulations yet, i live in the EU and the "app is currently unavailable in your country or region"

I bought samsung short throw projector just to not have black rectangle in my living room. I do not watch TV at all I just stream and Plex movies. I was thinking about frame for the same reasons to have something nice when is mostly off. Glad that I did not.

least unhinged vergecast

6:27 "but it'll take some work" yes, its like saying that installing something on windows takes "some work". like going to the chrome download page, click download, then double click the installer, then clicking YES i very much want to do this. AND after SO MUCH WORK chrome is still the #1 browser crazy before you say yeah but what about the games, its like saying that you ALSO need to work to install the adblocker and other extensions to make chrome usable. yep rocket science crazy how deterrent people are from using those because all the work you need to do

14:30 Sounds like this allows room for distributing homebrew games within the apps

I would love to play Ultima Underworld on the iPad or iPhone.

Maybe the new Sony Mini-LED panel is the equivalent to Blackberry's physical keyboard to the Samsung Frame's no-keyboard. There's no point optimizing (panel quality) what's not needed (because people have their TVs off 90% of the time).

Sony's OLED from "last year" is actually a late-year model on their 2024 platform. They are *not* moving away from OLED. Sony often runs OLED *and* MiniLED sets for 2 years. And let's see if in controlled reviews with calibrated sets if the Bravia 9 gets OLED level blacks (it won't).

Nilay, I love the podcast, but you said something very wrong “They own the whole back catalogue of games”. That’s not true. Most games released for any given console are by third party companies. So if whatever holding company owns Atari wanted to make a game service, they would have to go talk to Activision to get the rights for Pitfall (as an example). Most companies do have alot of games they owned, but it’s not the majority of games on the platform. Also the subscription service model you’ve described and asked for exist! Microsoft has Gamepass (Which has recent as well as older games), Sony has one, and Nintendo has Switch Online. Gamepass is to my knowledge the only one with a mobile app, and it is limited to streaming rather than emulation currently

I did that buy one get one free deal with Samsung TVs!! When I bought my first Frame TV, no joke. The freebee will be fine for the guest room.

I have every console released, CRT tv, 4k set with current systems, Retrotink, ect. I still downloaded this thing and loaded up Bubble Bobble because.....I can. Kids who pirate games and music end up purchasing those same products when they grow up and have money. I'm about to go pick up that Backbone controller because I finally have a good reason to.

"More important than fire": Hmm, agreed we need to evaluate in retrospect, but look at the (first) massive changes that are here, but are too close to see how much they are shifting humanity: 1. Broad scale photo alteration - how will this actually influence our memories and records of the past when photos and videos are no longer generally accepted to be genuine evidence of a shared experience. 2. Consumable content that isn't made by humans - there has always been acceptance that humans influencing humans is a part of life. We are cresting a time when another "intelligence" is actively creating content that is indistinguishable from our own. Already the talk is of identifying edge cases to uncover source. As those get smoothed out, next will be uncovering overarching patterns. By that point, it will be impossible for the general public to do. We are already talking about bias based on training data - 3 generations from now will we be able to make that a priori calculation? Or will we have to determine bias soely on outcome? What if the bias was not introduced, but developed 'organically'? Would we even know, how large of an affect that already had on society, and how to deal with that, especially if the 'bias' served to further divide social groups employing different AI systems - especially with a diminishing source of objective facts

You know what's fun? Delta is not available in the EU :')

Of all the things Apple could allow first, I think it’s WILD emulation is the first. I feel like they’re purposefully poisoning the well here, and as soon as an emulator attracts some legal heat they’ll have an excuse to lock the whole App Store down again.

I used to defend Nintendo against the whole emulation, but now? Screw ‘em. They’ve had EVERY opportunity to make a storefront- which they ALREADY HAD on the Wii/WiiU- but chose to ignore the market. Can’t whine about it now. Say what you will about Apple, but the copy of Iron Man I bought on iTunes 16 years ago is STILL THERE. Get with the times.

The money Nintendo would be making if they had their own emulator. They could even do a subscription model and evade the 30% Apple tax. Can a company be this stubborn? Like sure, they are cashing hard on the Switch but more money is ALWAYS a company's number one priority.

Thing is, they don’t want to be like Xbox, they still want to create and sell their own hardware, especially since the Switch is on track to be the most-selling console of all time now.

Polygon thinking that no one is interested in retro games shows how completely out of touch they are. No one who has played games in the past ten years would think that.

People are responding to this comment saying that retro gaming on the phone is niche. It's almost as if 60% of the users in the United States use iOS and apple wasn't allowing these on their store. Perhaps there's a correlation. Lol Especially given Delta placement on the app store right now

It’s fun to download, but playing NES on the phone is a terrible experience. If I’m going to play portable, I’d much prefer the Switch.

With regards to the discussion on AI (around 43 minutes in) I’d question whether what is being called A.I. is really A.I… isn’t it mostly just a bunch of marketing wrapped around systems that are doing fancy number crunching? There’s no intelligence… if there was it wouldn’t be as prone to the hallucinations that it is. One day we might have A.I. but I don’t believe that day is now or any time soon

If a company doesn't allow an older version of it's product, (hardware/console or software/game) to be available on it's newer hardware, even through emulation. It should be considered Abandonware and then it's considered fair game.

No David is Right honestly as a consumer I don't I want to hear anything about AI until I see a Dolores. Other than that I don't care I don't care about it in search engines I don't care about it with pictures I don't care about it with video I just don't care. None of them.... None of the machine learning none of it has been good enough to affect anything yet so until it is...... The most important thing about AI at this point is that it should be regulated before it's even any good. Other than that.... Westworld or bust. Lol

I disagree with Nilay about the Frame TV. People buy it because they think it's futuristic based on scifi movies where the TV is part of the house and because the untrained eye doesn't know the difference between a bad TV and a bad video. I think if you explained to every Frame buyer that they could get a much better display with better features, most would do so.

David continues to miss that betting is in the app store and has been for years

The Vergecast is about displays, and Decoder is about org charts.

Android mandou um forte abraço 🫂

Nintendo won’t release previous consoles games on their hardware. There wouldn’t be such demand for these emulators if they just sold their old games on their own hardware. It’s absurd.

argyle isn't great but its still better than Barbie and Oppenheimer combined! ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I think it's a genius move on Apple's part. They've said, "Oh. You know better than Us? Ok. We'll do it your way.", and open the ecosystem to third party App Stores. Then when thousands of people are complaining that the "official" app they downloaded from a third-party App Store is riddled with malware and stole their bank details, Apple will just turn around and say, "Well *this* is *exactly* what we were trying to avoid. But you thought you knew better. Shall we do it our way again now?"

Emulators in the Apple App Store is hilarious. It’s an android 😅…who tf asked for this?! Buggy sketchy apps are back.
