First off, thank you for bsnes. Have used it a lot in the past.

It's a tough call, but it's somewhat understandable what Google is doing. Arbitrary binary downloads from arbitrary websites are for the most part a problem for the majority of users.

There is nothing stopping a savvy user from still finding and downloading your binaries. You should probably figure out a better distribution channel.

Remember that all the hoops you have to jump through to get a signed binary are also required for anyone who would want to pirate your software and re-release it with a virus ( which I have seen done in the emulator community before ).
