That literally says theory in the title
This isn’t even your instance and you are telling me to leave lmao
I have so many things to be angry at Nintendo for I don’t see the point in complaining about them emulating their own games. Why is Dolphin still around? I played Earthbound legally on my Wii U. I understand you can no longer obtain it, and you should most definitely pirate it, but they have released it again. I’ve pirated all my Nintendo games for years. Fuck 'em. If they want to emulate their own games in their own museum, alright
Then please explain the Dolphin Emulator to me
we’re mad at nintendo precisely because they do not, themselves preserve games.
they also use their ROMs and emulations to sell games to the consumer
Which is it? If they are selling the games they are preserved
I said above they are going after developers. What I said they were not doing was going after an individual for simply playing a game with an emulator
If you are going to rehash an old argument at least take the time to read it
That’s very interesting. I can’t even think of a game worth doing that for. Not trying to say there isn’t, I just don’t have one off the top of my head
This is very educational, thank you. Just out of curiosity, what has Nintendo done with the 64dd? I thought they had forgotten about it
They’ve never sued anyone for playing an emulated game. They have (most likely wrongly) threatened emulator developers over circumventing copyright and encryption. I don’t like it anymore than anybody else, but are we actually mad at a company for preserving their games? You can hate them for what they are doing to others while still being ok with their own emulation
You are right. Sorry for being so snarky. The modding community for the SNES Classic mostly preferred Nintendo’s own emulator, Canoe. I just assumed Nintendo would continue to use it
All we can do is speculate for now. They will never see another dime from me personally. I just don’t see why we are persecuting them for emulation of all things. Be mad they are fucking over other emulator developers, but a company emulating their own games isn’t anything new
Alright. Let me make sure I understand. Since Nintendo protects its IP, it isn’t allowed to use its own IP?
Like, fuck Nintendo, but that doesn’t even make sense
So you have access to the PC in the museum?
They really should have used their own PC OS
They have literally had their own emulators for so long. At least since the SNES Classic released. It is called Canoe
Are they? They aren’t using Canoe and their own files?
I’m not saying they haven’t used others work in the past, but they do have their own emulators and ROMs. They have for a long time. They are still terrible, but this just doesn’t seem like a big deal to me
Edit: Also, whose lives have they ruined aside from those profiting off of distributing copyrighted material? Taking down a fan game doesn’t sound life ruining
They are at least Nintendo’s own in-house emulators. I don’t recall the situation with the Classic systems ROMs, but Animal Crossing had the release group signatures if I’m not mistaken. They’ve been pulling this garbage for a long time
This really isn’t that surprising. They used ROMs for the classic games in Animal Crossing. They even had evidence it was from a release group, and not Nintendo’s own copies
I really don’t understand why this is embarrassing. I don’t know the exact setup they have going on. Is it like a kiosk where people can play classic games, or is it a monitor just displaying them? They have their own emulator, Canoe, that they used for the SNES Classic. I don’t remember the name of the NES one
Weren’t at least some of the games in the Super Mario Collection ROMs? I guess I can see why people would expect a direct port from the company that created it, or original hardware running the original games, but it isn’t like Nintendo doesn’t already have a track record for this sort of thing
Websites: rarbg and emuparadise
Personally: I have an 8tb HDD completely full with shows and movies I haven’t tested since a house fire. I’m afraid it may have been dropped in the move, and I don’t even have my PC with me to check it out
Yup. There are some extensions and/or scripts that should help a bit, but you are always your best anti-virus. I only go if I absolutely have to, but occasionally it is the only place to find older shows and things
I found one that was still on and running this past week. I doubt it actually worked, but there was nothing indicating that it didn’t
