SolidShake, do games w Nintendo has sent a DMCA notice to Ryujinx forks

I have no issue with emulating games. But I also have no issue of a company trying to stop their games from being emulated.

Fuck Nintendo

Indeed

heavydust,

You have no issue with a company trying to prevent people doing something legal? Is it only for emulation? Stopping emulation is the illegal part.

SolidShake,

how is pirating games legal?

chronicledmonocle,

Emulation isn’t piracy and you’re allowed to back up physical games you own. That’s legally your right.

CrazyLikeGollum,

Technically, you’re allowed to make copies for personal use unless doing so requires bypassing DRM, encryption, or some other lockout mechanism.

Emulation is still not piracy and neither is making a personal backup, but if making that backup requires anything more than a standard disc drive or a cart reader then it is a DMCA violation.

    lets say you have spend 10 years making a game. and you put it on steam for $10. but wait. you are making $0 dollars because everyone is just pirating it, and then demanding you make a second one.

    Didn’t tears of the kingdom got pirated in like 1 week within release? That must have affected sales in some degree

    Emulation = online piracy

    Did I say that? I did not. I said the game was pirated in 1 week which it definitely happened unless everyone who emulated it was using it legally.

    The reality is that Nintendo removed your ability to buy those old games for $10, because they’d rather rent you those games forever on their subscription service. If they were on Steam for $10, I’d have bought those old ROMs.

    dev_null,

    Nobody is talking about piracy.

    SolidShake,

    Right… Because not one person ever uses emulators for privacy… Because it isn’t, You know, obviously used for that.

    Steam is not a console? What are you on? If someone is broke he never gonna buy it. After all. I think Piracy make game more popular instead.

    SolidShake,

    Oh sorry I thought OP was talking about Nintendo.

    hmmm,
    @hmmm@sh.itjust.works avatar

    You literallly said “put it on steam”.

    MichaelScotch,

    If you’re going to sit on a fence, what’s the point in doing it on a public forum? What does that do?

    Somehow, despite not being that generation of gamers, this still made me feel old.

    Edit: yeah that shit was only 2002, not THAT long ago. I was simply too busy playing pokemon

    Brosplosion,

    If you were 18 in 2002, you are 40 now. Plenty old enough to have a highschool aged kid.

    Yeah, I kept winning with smoke too.

    Great post ! Thanks for sharing

    Just FYI. Make sure that any link to GitHub is saved locally OR there is a mirror available. GH is going after emulators quite a bit, especially forks! This is coming from one that helps out from time to time in the software.

    If only there was some sort of berg of code that happenes to have the forks available. Too bad there isnt such a website ;)

    Thanks again making these posts! I learned quite a few new projects to throw on my SD.

    mesamunefire,

    Sounds about right. In the retro gaming communities it’s being treated like torrents now.

    I really liked this game, but I used all my unlock points on the wrong squads and couldn’t progress any further to get new ones. I wish they hadn’t bound the unlock currency to getting achievements with each squad. It made it so if I bought one I ended up hating there was no shot of getting any money back. Otherwise it’s a great game though.

    Great post. Thanks for the info on Sonic unleashed. These decomp games are great! I’ve got ‘ship of harkinian’ running as well.

    Me, just plunking away at Super Metroid and Mario 64

    What’s this about a new GTA game? Damn! 3D and everything! That’s crazy.

    For as much as I played Super Metroid back in the day, I’m not sure if I ever completed it. I should fix that.

    First of all, thank you for doing these, more original content is always welcome and appreciated! I really like your writing style and that the subjects you cover are just things you find interesting, whether they're related or not. Like you said, it's more of a old gaming blog style, which is cool.

    I also played the shit out of Abuse back in the day but never finished it, so thanks for the excuse to give it another go. Although I did find the 15 fps limit added to the charm of the game, so to speak. But I'll try this new version.

    high-fps abuse looks GREAT! I honestly thought the SDL sourceport (?) that’s existed for years already had that, but apparently not.

    Might have to revisit the game at some point

    I need to fix the desktop side of my switch so I can install decky and all the other cool add-ons. Dunno what happened but the password set on the konsole doesn’t work and I have to reset something.

    This is a great. I somehow missed your first two but went back and read it.

    I like the format, if you can, you should keep this going.

    I do plan to!

    I get impatient, because I adore writing these, but I plan to write these weekly :)

    Thank you!
