It appears this weekend that Google has pulled a number of popular gaming emulators from the Android Market.
All were created by developer Yongzh and include Nesoid, Snesoid, Gensoid, N64oid, and Gameboid.
The developer says his account was removed without any prior warnings and he is now looking to move his emulators to the third-party "SlideME" app store.
Just last month, Google pulled the PSX emulator, PSX4droid from the Market, as well.
While emulators are legal, as standalone apps, 9 times out of 10, the ROMS (games) used by gamers are obtained illegally thus making the whole legal standing of the software sketchy.
