Preventing me from accessing Nintendo network and store is one thing. Somehow bricking my physical device, that I own? Fuck them

Honestly, I’m an advocate for emulation and game preservation and all that, but I’m surprised this is only now the case. I don’t have the nerve to try to hack my device if it’s the currently being supported platform. If they’ve already abandoned it then it’s fair game but the currently active console with your current actual information on there that gets regular updates? You’re just playing with fire.

It’s like taking it upon yourself to make an “HD remake” of the IPs owned by famously stringent companies who aren’t afraid to put the hammer down on these things.

I generally agree, I only really hack consoles that aren’t being supported anymore, but I don’t like how over-reaching the end user agreement is sounds like it’s likely to be abused

their device. Your own device, such as a Steam Deck, you don’t have to hack, you can run anything on it however you like.

Joke is on them. I have had every NES and SNES rom ever made. I need to make sure i have every N64 rom (even if I don’t play that often) and now every GameCube.

I still don’t have a Wii emulator or even looked into that.

derpgon,

Is there a way to obtain such treasures in one clean swoop? Asking for a friend.

Phoenicianpirate,

When I have the time I will try to download as much stuff as possible and make a torrent file. I’ll share it in a PM.

Dolphin, the gamecube emulator is also a fairly complete wii emulator. The wii was basically 2 gamecubes duct-taped together.

Phoenicianpirate,

I have dolphin, thank you for mentioning that.

At this point if you’re buying their stuff, you’re the reason they get away with it and you’re the problem because you can’t control them, you can only control you… and you didn’t.

laughs in steam deck You know, I didn’t really have a lot of interest in emulating old Nintendo games, but now I think I’ll do it just because Nintendo doesn’t want me to.

Thank god I own a PC and not a corpo platform.

As a Linux gamer the idea of unauthorized software is absolutely absurd. Also spending billions on “security” to make sure only approved games are played then approving slop.
