I see what you mean, and I think we are on the same page.
Personally it ticks me off that they make the interface for Fightcade so awful on purpose and want a subscription to make it even slightly user friendly.

Anyway, thanks for explaining all of this to me, I appreciate it.

Hmmm nothing grey about that, by charging their users to unlock features, they are a commercial activity, just like any other software whose business model is what they call a "free2play". Our license clearly forbid redistribution in commercial activities.

If there was no paywall to unlock features and they were just accepting donations, it'd be a grey area, since they'd stop being a commercial activity by definition. Some people say you are a commercial activity just by receiving donations, i personally disagree with that, but i can agree that it's a grey area.
They'd still need to address the fact that the people receiving donations are the same people modifying our source code for their needs, which is clearly breaking this other term.

OK, thanks for explaining.

I guess it is kind of a grey area since they are *technically* charging for the online service and not the actual emulator, but I see what you mean about seeking donations, that is pretty obviously in the red.

Basically, if they didn't accept donations for their online services they would be in the clear?

How are they using it illegally? Can you hire a lawyer to shut it down?

A fork must respect the license of the original project. Our license forbid redistribution within a commercial activity (this was inherited from the mame non-commercial code we use), which is exactly what fightcade is : a free2play with a subscription fee to unlock features. Strictly speaking, they are also receiving donations for their work of FBNeo, which is breaking another term of our license.
Sadly it's unrealistic to hire a lawyer and shut down the project.

Don't use FightCade, they are illegally using our work, thanks.

I know this is a hack game, but I am assuming it's still ok to mention a bug I ran into for it.
In Sonic 2 VS (md_sonic2vs), there are some issues with the graphics that can be found by going into a 2p versus match. I was using the 32 bit version of the latest FB Neo. I have tested this game on Retroarch Genesis Plus GX, and it doesn't have this problem.
