Aaahhhh, I didn't know you had created the original one. I should have paid attention to your signature! I just noticed this new emulator said they would download all the games, and artwork, for you and I know that can get them into legal trouble

The problem with the 'modern' scene is if they can get away with something, they'll do it, even if it fucks over everybody else.
Unfortunately unless you trademarked the name, you don't have a leg to stand on legally, and they probably know that.

Well then I might be a heap of trouble if they trademarked this name.
But the thing is, my frontend is called "Emu" "Loader", two separate words. Their frontend is called "emuloader" (one word). From my point of view, I'm safe, my project's name is safe.
I'm just sad about it because they didn't do any research before choosing a project name/brand.

I agree. While there isn't anything you can do legally, it's still a shitty thing to do. You could always look into having the name Emu Loader trademarked

I've seen people referring to my frontend as "Emuloader", quite a lot.
