What do you think about nintendo completely killing the emulator scene?
Was it justified?
>>
>>740301228
Eden and ryujinx work fine
>>
>>740301228
I don't care much and consider preservation of the original hardware more important than emulation. That said the switch is not worth preserving.
>>
>>740301228
Pirates constantly dared Nintendo to do it and laughed in their faces so they have no one to blame but themselves.

If you emulate a game that is available for purchase and still being manufactured, then you are not into "preservation"

You are into piracy.
>>
>>740301228
Yes, it was justified. I'm not against emulation or piracy but you have to be discreet about it. Switch pirates were getting uppity and needed to be put in their place.
>>
>>740301228
Technically, yes
But for as much money as they make anyways, it seems like dickish overkill
>>
>>740301286
Someone send a mail to nintendo!
>>
>>740301470
I'm sure this happened with the AM2R game. Nintendo didn't care until the game actually started getting advertised then they went fuck this
>>
>>740301228
The Yuzu devs were sharing ROMs and shit in their tranny discord, so yeah they brought it on themselves. Fuck Nintendo though.
>>
>>740301228
What was the issue again? Hiding newer versions under patreon?
>>
>>740301228
but the switch2 has no games to emulate?
>>
>>740302869
uhm bro you zelda??
>>
>>740302869
this cope is enver going to work, visajeet

any news about the emulator project for switch 2 btw? how's the jailbreak going?
>>
>>740302584
iirc Nintendo's legal argument hinged on the encryption keys required to run the emulator, they claim those keys are protected by copyright
that also makes developing emulators for other modern consoles legally risky
>>
>>740305374
No yuzu actually used knowledge from the devkit for it's development. That's why open source projects like Eden are untouchable.
>>
>>740304598
uh oh typo while calling someone else jeet, how unfortunate
>>
>>740301228
The emulator scene killed itself by @-ing nintendo's official accounts.
>>
do I need to do anything weird to find switch games or is regular computer literacy enough to find it if I start looking
>>
>>740301228
Yes, because these retards are doing this openly.

as I thought zero progress, thanks for the confirmation and the dilation ranjeet

they're on the black market so good luck

zoomer pirates should have just kept their fucking mouths shut instead of treating pirating as some moral crusade.
>>
>>740305936
literally just google "switch roms" you retarded zoomer fuck

I'm gonna do it. Have one of the old models compatible with clip molestation.
How hassle free is the piracy? Do you just copy a game and it werks? Does it have an ftp server to avoid juggling the tiny memory card? If so, can you use ftp with usb-ethernet or limited to wifi?
>>
It's already feature complete
What are they gonna do? Raid my house and uninstall it from my com
>>
>>740301392
I'm into both actually. I want games to be preserved. I also want free games. Simple as.
>>
>>740302428
The takedown also happened around the launch of Samus Returns too, so they got double-whammied. When will these emulation/fangame projects learn to stop linking paterons directly to the project and just have a generic one for themselves instead.
>>
>>740305936
google "free switch games"
>>
Is someone doing Switch 2 emulator?
>>
>>740301392
what if its only available on Nintendo's live service subscription system?

Underhanded slimy tactics. I refuse to see how this company operates any differently post their legal dispute with Palworld. I wish this company a swift death because they went out of their way to try and patent video game concepts. Therefore we can throw out every single case that they claim to be within their rights to defend when they resorted to dictating with a team lawyers about what kinds of video games can be made and if they own the idea of loose concepts.

honestly the yuzu and ryujinx niggers were way too noisy given what they were doing, they really deserved it, even though nintendo are jews what do you expect from poking a lion repeatedly

you cant stop freedom lmao

>>740301470
social media was a mistake
in the old days people would just pirate and keep that shit to themselves in forums or whatever
now you have retards farming views 'HERE'S HOW TO PIRATE EVERYTHING NINTENDIES PAY FOR @NINTENDO'
>>
>>740301392
I kind of agree. I just think yuzu niggers flew too close to the sun playing TotK 2 weeks before the official release date. Nintendo was probably absolutely fuming at that and now the Switch 2 is much more secure and locked down
>>

what pokemon game is $80?

if it's too much don't buy it

>>

Are you retarded. I can still emulate every SNES ps1 PS2 N64 ngc game out there. They only killed the switch emulation scene because those faggots yuzu devs were profiting from it

I hate them for doing that, but I get it, especially since the Switch 2 is basically a Switch-Pro-Pro and the original Yuzu Dev's would easily made Switch 2 Emulation happen, as soon as jailbreaking/dumping Switch 2 games is possible. They really wanted to prevent that at all cost.
>>740301392
>You are into piracy.
I am, but you are wrong. Just because you back up your games and play them on an emulator, doesn't mean you are a pirate. But I'm sure that AT LEAST 80% use pirated games when emulating. But there are still honest people, buying games and dumping them and some cool motherfuckers just upload their dumps.

I genuinely think it isn't retardation, it's a deliberate way for patreon scammers to have an exit strategy that preserves their reputation and makes nintendo the bad guy

>put your homebrew project "Mario but he real" up on your patreon with a 10 second render of mario running through a field
>sit back and collect patreon dollars, periodically make a post about how you farted too hard and couldn't work, or if you get really desperate make a new 10 second render
>wait for Nintendo's lawyers to send you a C&D for making money off their IP in a blatant and easily stopped way
>make lengthy post about how Nintendo is solely responsible for killing your passion fan project "mario but he real" so close to completion. But you'll take what you learned to make your next project, "wario but he real", even better

Yeah, I have no problem playing them. The Switch is already unlocked and can be overclocked, so it's a moot point. Pirates won.
>>740301392
Yeah, so?
>>740301470
THIS is what pisses me off. All major outlets where telling everyone how much better PC could run ToTK before it even launched.
Nintendo got pissy and launched an unhackable console that's powerful enough that even a GTX 5090 wouldn't be able to emulate properly.
>>
>>740314319
Except nintendo will seize all your money and force you to give them all money you will ever earn from that point on
>>
>>740301228
I literally played tomodachi life just fine on it, you can't kill an emulator because you can't kill an idea.
>>
>>740306402
You don't have to use FTP. You can just transfer shit directly over USB.
>>
>>740301228
maybe. i dunno.
i just CFW'd my n3DS, whats the best shit to grab from hshop?
>>
>>740301228
Yes. Faggots playing games a week early and spamming the internet with spoilers is really what did them in. I don't think Nintendo would have gone nearly as hard on them if they weren't so loud about it.
>>
>>740317708
The 3DS dragon quest ports
Codename steam
The Mario and Luigi games
Dragon quest Theaterythm
The dragon quest monsters remakes
Fuggin uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh those NES remix games
>>
>>740301228
They didn't kill anything there are forks and pretty much 99% of switch games are playable/beyond playable, I had zero issues playing the new miitopia even.
Them taking down the emulators is a little too late because Nintendo themselves have moved onto the switch 2
>>
>>740301228
Pretty terrible. It wasn't justified, piracy has no negative impact and the Switch would not have been any more successful than the Wii U without the overlap of Wii U piracy boosting its launch titles followed up by concurrent Switch emulation within years of its launch.

They went full retard against emulators for the Switch 2, because their lineup for the next couple of years was going to be pure dogshit that they did not want anyone other than fanatics to talk about while they had the Wii audience version 2.0.
>>740301392
Nothing wrong with that. Sell the game competently and piracy becomes a non-issue.
>>
>>740310950
Miyamoto's semen
>>
>>740301228
Yes but only because the devs were complete fucking retards.The only things you need to do when making an emulator is not condone piracy and not blatantly rip code and they couldn't help themselves and did the former.

My god, could you grapes any harder.
>>
>>740318917
What the fuck are you talking about? Covid and Animal Crossing made the Switch successful, not emulation.
>>
>>740301392
I like both
And both are ok

i think that tales of the kingdom leak before it even released really lit a fire under their asses
