But why? It’s so cheap and so much love and dedication has gone into it. I bought my copy literally years ago and it’s provided so much joy. I actually kinda wish the opposite that there were more small projects that could have this kind of humble success. Particularly in a world where much more profit motivated enterprises give free software a shitty stick.

Open source would make ports to more platforms substantially easier, there's a pretty good RetroArch core, but it isn't perfect.

But why not? They can still charge for it and have a FOSS dev model. Nobody who wants this without paying for it is going to have trouble getting it.
