Emulation can never be banned, because it goes well beyond 'console preservation'. Software developers use emulation all the time for developing on different platforms. Mobile development relies heavily on emulation. The only real part of console emulation that holds any legal grounds is the piracy of IP through ROM downloads or using official BIOS files. If the emulator itself doesn't break any legal grounds, then there is no problem at all.
DOSBOX is a DOS emulator that is used for more than just old DOS game emulation, as there are still lots of old DOS era programs that can still be useful in the current day.
You don't have game backups. You just pirated it on the internet.

Piracy is illegal. Emulation is almost exclusively used for piracy but that doesn't make it illegal. Just like the bittorrent protocol isn't illegal even though 99.9% of the use cases are piracy.

I already own legal copies of the games for Switch so I'm not going to bother going down the emulation hole in a post-Yuzu world, but I've always wondered how the two Zelda games actually run on PC.
its more then that. they actually hired the guy behind the rom dump hardware/software, so thats why they have the same headers. so its literally...okay when nintendo does it.
>nintendo can use inhouse emulators and use their own roms of their property
so I can too, I OWN the game and the console(this is optional as long as I can dump the room). The emulator is free software so u tell me exactly what is the problem?
It was about intimidating an emulator developer into shutting down. The core of their actual case was the claim that yuzu’s ability to bypass their game encryption was a DMCA violation, which runs afoul of prior jurisprudence on the DMCA (see Lexmark v Static Control Components).
Nintendo had no case. They didn’t need to have a case. They just needed to scare a bunch of nerds with no budget for legal defense and no motive to risk the piercing of the corporate veil into abandoning the project. Nintendo could have sued them for improper dumping of nuclear waste, it wouldn’t have mattered.
>Lexmark v Static Control Components >preliminary injuction reversed because they didn't circumvent anything as there was no access control or other security to bypass on the programs
Really makes you think why Nintendo would explicitly mention all of the security measures that are being circumvented in this case...
SCOTUS ruled that data as used in a copy protection scheme is not copyrightable. SCOTUS ruling in Lexmark says that even if Yuzu had INCLUDED prodkeys, it would have been legit, because Ninty can’t claim copyright on the prodkeys or other encryption-consequent data.
Furthermore interoperability argument excused SCC from being held responsible for circumventing protections, with the court opinion being that ASIDE from the specifics of the case, the framework should be such that the DMCA cannot be used to enforce a monopoly on goods. That even if Lexmark’s protections were significantly more sophisticated and therefore could actually be potentially covered by copyright, copying them or circumventing them for the purposes of allowing the end user to circumvent their monopoly on toner cartridges would have been protected behavior.
What in god’s name makes you think Yuzu actually had $2.4M on them? They just let Tropic Haze LLC go bankrupt and Nintendo can have all the “assets” (a domain name and patreon page they’re about to just close, a small amount of modified Switch hardware, and a brand name nobody cares about). Any cash-on-hand from Patreon donations they’ll obviously take too but it’s unlikely to be much.

Where is the public outcry from nintendo?
Replace Japan with "company I grew up with" and it would be a bit more accurate. Tendies are manchildren that only defend it because they still play ig.
Nintendo is objectively less anti-consumer than Activision. Coming down on an emulator is a lesser evil than nickel and diming your paying customers and actively ruining games to facilitate that.
>go out of your way to ruin people's lives for no benefit to yourself >allow people to buy different colours for their CoD guns
Tendies are delusional and evil.
Tendie delusion.
Activision are corpo c**ts but they give the customer the rope with which they hang themselves. They don't force you to the rope.
Nintendo drags you to the goddamn tree they hang you in. They are 100% the worst vidya company currently operating, and the only morally correct thing to do is not give them a single dime, and bully and mock people who do until they either kill themselves, or stop giving Nintendo money.

They are far less litigious than Nintendo and to pretend otherwise is to be a delusional tendie.

Yuzu had a patreon which they locked builds behind
Gary Bowser was selling devices to hack the Switch.
Weird, how you ignore that fact. Also how in both cases they had LITERAL MILLIONS to pay Nintendo with. Nintendo is litiguous and would clearly like emulation to stop existing but they fricking pick their battles with morons who think they can get away with making money off it.

I didn't jump down your throat. You brought up Activision and all I did was say (correctly) that to believe they are worse than Nintendo is to be a delusional tendie. So long as you don't believe that, you're fine.
And no, there's different degrees of shit. Activision's a greedy corpo but they're like any dime a dozen greedy corpo. Microsoft and EA are higher up but are still within the greedy corpo standard model. Then you've got shit like Sony, who are traitors who backstabbed their own in an effort to become bigger. And then there's Nintendo, the worst of the lot. Does everything other filthy corpos do, except they mask it all in yes, the "wholesome chungus shit" as you put it. And people buy it. Tendies, disgusting subhumans that they are, buy it and defend them. Even here on Ganker. Oh sure they mask it with irony and shitposting like any other anon, but they genuinely do defend Nintendo out of a nostalgic loyalty to them. And that makes Nintendo a piece of shit on the level of Disney
The only solution is executions and fire at this point.

cry all you want about your israelite project getting taken down for trying to put multiplayer behind a patreon paywall, but at the end of the day, who's making games worth emulating here?
What's funny about these arguments is that I'm watching this video on my phone in a 3" box. It still looks exactly like ToTK. I've played TotK on switch on a 200" projector screen at the native 1080p and it still looks great. "Fidelity" morons are really the most low IQ people around. Even in the comments some moron says "imagine what Nintendo could do if the switch hardware didn't hold them back!!" Yet it's the switch hardware that's partially responsible for the design decisions of botw (a Wii U game) and TotK. The low power of the switch is what forces devs like Nintendo to be creative. Something other devs don't do becuase they're more than happy with bloated ugly games.

I could win the lawsuit if I sued them for false advertisement

>flimsy pretext
Yeah that's why they also went after Ryujinx, oh no wait they didn't do that because they don't hide their latest build behind a paywall.
After how they treated the mercury steam people we know nintendo is pure evil, all their old guard are falling away and we'll be left with JUST suits from them soon, and they won't be able to hide what they really are
They will crash and burn then, same as every other soulless company is now. Consumers are making it abundantly clear they won't put up with soulless corporate bullshit anymore, adapt or die.
That's why you morons throw a fit every time they refuse the easy solution to maintain brand integrity by saying that they are just leaving money on the table.

You're wrong not even halfway through your first sentence. Safe to say the rest of your drivel is equally idiotic. Not that the pepe didn't give it away without reading a word.
Piracy would need to be orders of magnitude more popular for it to threaten Nintendo's ability to make games. Some small developers with niche audiences may have legitimate gripes, but Nintendo sure as hell does not.

We've known this for ages with their digital content in general. Your entire digital library on the 3ds and wii u will die with those systems.

If that's nintendo's "service" then I will happily never buy anything from them again.

Emulation is fine, so is piracy, who gives a shit. Just don't be surprised when playing leaked rom(s) of a anticipated game long before its retail release date was going to raise any sort of suspicions from any company in question, especially if people are pant on head moronic enough to gloat about in en masse all over social medias for clout.
Its simple: Don't make easily accessible records of you doing dubious shit as that can be traced back to you in some form. People gave Nintendo the rope to start the hangings and now they're doing it.

More moronic kiddies seething that they don't have access to the objective benefits of emulation like the rest of us do. What are we supposed to do wait for Nintendo NOT to make a Pro console? Frick you, I'm playing the games in 4K60fpsHDR cause I can.
Don't forget when these homosexuals were charging $70 for a game in the 90's. "You don't understand goyjin, these proprietary cartridges are expensive!"
Is it really such a bad thing to emulate and/or pirate games you already bought? Like look, you can't really defend someone who just pirates the entirety of the Switch catalog because he wants it for free. That's a given. But some of us do genuinely buy our games, and want to enjoy them at higher resolutions, better framerates, and maybe with some quality of life additions. The corporate shills have yet to answer why this is such an abomination against mankind. If your argument is that "it's a lost sale" even if you already bought the game, then by that logic, even sticking to old hardware and playing just on the original rom is piracy, because you're not giving them money for new games. Using the family share option is piracy, since that's 1 sale when it could've been 2 or even 3. Lending games is piracy, since the company didn't authorize a transferal of ownership.
Not just paying for online.
Remember that NSO was only introduced about halfway into the console's life, and it was completely free to use online before then.
So they took away an essential part of the product and put it behind a paywall.
Friendly reminder that the only reason israelitetindo had any grounds for a lawsuit is because the moronic Black folk who run Yuzu put Tears of the Kingdom's rom behind a paywall before it launched.
This is fake, Nintendo cannot claim a falsehood like this and not have it be used against them in a case. Sony had already gone after emulation and lost, setting a precedent that reverse engineering a product that plays games is perfectly legal and nintendo also lost some older similar case but with hardware.

>emulation is illegal, so let me steal your emulator and shove it in a fricking tiny machine and call it virtual console or some shit I don't know, making it even worse than emulating it yourself. now is not emulation and is legal haha.
ESL third worlders are so thoroughly uninteresting that they think their unwillingness to pay for games is a vital topic for discussion that needs a dozen threads up on Ganker at the same time. Let that sink in
if YUZU wasnt such a team of poor b***hes they could easily win in court because
1. emulation is not illegal
2. simulation is not illegal
3. reverse engineering software and hardware to create a competing product is legal
Yuzu made their money, they let their sham corporation they specifically made for this scenario take the fall while the individuals get off scott free, and yuzu is already getting forked.
Why fight Nintendo of all fricking corporations when they could just cut off their tail and get away?
Yes, but I can't really blame them. If Nintendo's going after them specifically while they've been unable to do anything against emulation all this time despite seething so hard over it, then Nintendo likely had a case against something specific that they did. It's better for everyone that they settle and not go up against Nintendo's army of lawyers with some gutter lawyer and set a negative precedent.
It's not a "sham" but yuzu was released by a LLC (Tropic Haze) so all they have to do is have Tropic Haze LLC default. The company "goes under", they lose all their "assets" (of which there are basically none), and they agree to "destroy all copies" of an open-source codebase that's already been mirrored a million times.
The actual people making this emulator were, presumably, smart enough to just pay themselves salaries from Tropic Haze's earnings, or collect dividends. So their personal assets are safe and they have no liability. Tropic Haze LLC is the entity that settled and that is potentially liable for any wrongdoing. The individuals who made yuzu were just employees. Employees don't take the fall when a company does something illegal.
>sorry i was just following hitlers orders
You can make whatever moral analogies you want, it's just how the law works. If Dow gets caught dumping chemicals, Dow gets sued. Not the stockholders who own Dow.
emulators are not illegal as long as they do not use shit only found in the emulated console in the process of emulation. this is why dolphin is still a-ok. this is (most likely) why ryujinx isn't fricked. if emulators were outright illegal, they would be culled long, long before word of them reaches the common man - because nintendo is always on the lookout for emulators and ways they can sink the ship before it leaves the harbor. another big mistake yuzu did was advertising ToTK builds in their fricking patreon before the game was even out. i will not argue with dumb Black folk who do not understand the legality of emulators, but i will tell them that they are dumb Black folk, and why they are moronic apes. if you do not understand, you never will, and i will not dumb it down for you. that's what reddit is for.
I thought you could emulate something legally, like if you are developing an app for your phone you can emulate the phone's OS on your computer so you can load your app onto it. Or is that illegal too now?
No. It never was, as long as the emulator itself does not copy/reuse code from the thing being emulated. Yuzu did, which is why it's getting blown away.
Because they are a company that wants to scare emulation devs into not making emulators, and to convince their fans that emulators are illegal purely by an authoritative figure's word. If you're just talking about OP's post - it's a fake tweet. This entire thread was built upon a fake tweet. If you asked Bill Trinen what he thinks about emulators? He's probably going to tell you what he thinks as a Nintendo employee, "opinions are my own" be damned.
Its not though, yuzu settled to avoid the patreon pay (indirect funding) backlash. Its not illegal to emulate anything especially for archival purposes. Its not illegal to make copies of your own property as long as it does not affect copyright sales in the case of selling said copies. Breaking encryption on your own devices(property) is not illegal either (ex locks/keybreak on own home). The win is to convince the moronic, weak to fight(court), use it as an example for lawyers to point to and convince moronic judges and give clout to the butthole company. They are going to milk their "win" settlement though.
this reminds me of that thing the publisher of solo leveling said >be a paid reader
or something lol. east asia is places like korea and japan taking copyright seriously and then china
Emulations perfectly legal. Nintendo sittin in a hive drones cant deal with this fact and will use any poorly documented reason to say otherwise. Yuzu didn't get hit for emulation by the way, it got hit for using Nintendo's property to paywall and key decryption. Every other modern emulator is staying up. Please remain upset.

Nintendo may have made a mistake.
As long as emulation is associated with piracy, the normalgays will always resist.
Now with Nitnendo forcing emulation away, they may be created the stimulus for people to finally start trading Nintendo games outside of Nintendo consoles, legally.

Reminder Corporations aren't your friend, yet you gays continue to bootlick and lead us into a future dystopian hellhole where they have more rights than any human being. Absolute fricking insanity.
There hasn't been a single Nintendo game I've wanted to pirate since Rune Factory 4 on the DS. They are stagnant as frick and got their ass whooped at their own game by knock off adult Pokemon.
Switch emulators are one thing, that's current gen, but what about games for older consoles that are no longer sold by Nintendo? I am unable to play, say, 3ds games without dropping hundreds of dollars at a vintage game/collector retailer or by downloading a ROM. With either method of acquiring a copy of the game, Nintendo "loses no money" and that's only if you make the generous assumption that people who pirate would otherwise purchase a console or copy of the game from Nintendo in the first place. I believe a wise fat man once said that piracy is primarily a service problem and he continues to be right to this day.
I don't know why Gamefreak won't let Nintendo put old mainline Pokemon games on the Switch's emulator since it would cost them literally nothing and there's currently no way to buy the older games non-third party. Blah blah muh trade evolutions, take the two fricking seconds to remove that and let Gengar evolve normally at level 30 something.
What really pisses me off about all this is that they killed Citra too while also making that entire library unavailable. But hearing about what the Yuzu team actually did I can't feel bad for them.
>nintendo >bunch of old japanese executives still living in the 1980s >think "emulation" only applies to bijder gaems
i think they should clarify to mean illegally pirating their vidya is illegal. emulators are fine. yuzudevs were just completely spinless pussies who freaked out seeing some boilerplate legalese letter in their inbox and burned it all down.
Most users of emulators don't own the games and never intended to buy them. They're full of shit if they claim they do. It's probably 1% who uses it legitimately. But at the same time Nintendo isn't making virtual console games available to buy, which is annoying.
I don't know, you tell me
you mean u dont know?
I’m looking for my little girl. Have you seen her?
They look like emulators to you?
i can still hear the scream
short, black hair?
So you don't know anything either. Great.
Huh what u mean
if you run some errands for me, i'll tell you
I saw her near the maximum security prison
Do you know a place where sailors hang out?
ok. how u know?

Nintendo dabbing on the toastergays
the switch isnt even a toaster its more like a fricking, idfk some other useless kitchen appliance thats even worse
A woman?
>Nintendo dabbing on the toastergays
Emulation can never be banned, because it goes well beyond 'console preservation'. Software developers use emulation all the time for developing on different platforms. Mobile development relies heavily on emulation. The only real part of console emulation that holds any legal grounds is the piracy of IP through ROM downloads or using official BIOS files. If the emulator itself doesn't break any legal grounds, then there is no problem at all.
DOSBOX is a DOS emulator that is used for more than just old DOS game emulation, as there are still lots of old DOS era programs that can still be useful in the current day.
Ipads are more powerful than the switch
iPad is 4x larger than switch
Even a shitty iphone is more powerfull than the designated bing-bing-wahoo toy.
And? You get to sell emulation full price back to us? Frick off
Their softwares their rules
The customer is always right though.
Emulation=legal
My dick your mouth.
Ain't no way

so how is emulating backups of MY games illegal?
It just is.
damn yo, I never knew ripping my PS2 games was illegal.
it isnt actually
You don't have game backups. You just pirated it on the internet.
Piracy is illegal. Emulation is almost exclusively used for piracy but that doesn't make it illegal. Just like the bittorrent protocol isn't illegal even though 99.9% of the use cases are piracy.
i cant pirate what i already own.
>Implying it's your backups
dude emulation is illegal
fricking moron
Wow, you're so smart, dingus.
There are games on the switch that use playstation emulation.

moron
I already own legal copies of the games for Switch so I'm not going to bother going down the emulation hole in a post-Yuzu world, but I've always wondered how the two Zelda games actually run on PC.
emulation is illegal.
Remember when Nintendo used roms they found online?
They didn't, but journos didn't update their articles for you to find out the truth
its more then that. they actually hired the guy behind the rom dump hardware/software, so thats why they have the same headers. so its literally...okay when nintendo does it.
I don't live in the Cuckold States of America, so I don't have to kneel before corporations.
>you, moronic Black person, can not simple as
of course I can. I'm running emulators right now
I can though, I am doing it right now
>nintendo can use inhouse emulators and use their own roms of their property
so I can too, I OWN the game and the console(this is optional as long as I can dump the room). The emulator is free software so u tell me exactly what is the problem?
You didn’t buy their shitty sub service from their shitty tablet or bought it from their shitty store, anon.
>I OWN the game and the consol
mate do you really think people emulating were getting the hardware and the consoles?
Who cares it's morally right to not pay Nintendo
I can emulate without owning the console or games
>nintendo can use inhouse emulators and use their own roms of their property
if buying isn't owning, piracy isn't stealing
Massive corpos can do illegal stuff and t
its ok!!! cope seethe dilate

Good times.
They didn't.

thread ended right here
>another idiot who couldn't comprehend what Nintendo's case was about
It was about intimidating an emulator developer into shutting down. The core of their actual case was the claim that yuzu’s ability to bypass their game encryption was a DMCA violation, which runs afoul of prior jurisprudence on the DMCA (see Lexmark v Static Control Components).
Nintendo had no case. They didn’t need to have a case. They just needed to scare a bunch of nerds with no budget for legal defense and no motive to risk the piercing of the corporate veil into abandoning the project. Nintendo could have sued them for improper dumping of nuclear waste, it wouldn’t have mattered.
>Lexmark v Static Control Components
>preliminary injuction reversed because they didn't circumvent anything as there was no access control or other security to bypass on the programs
Really makes you think why Nintendo would explicitly mention all of the security measures that are being circumvented in this case...
SCOTUS ruled that data as used in a copy protection scheme is not copyrightable. SCOTUS ruling in Lexmark says that even if Yuzu had INCLUDED prodkeys, it would have been legit, because Ninty can’t claim copyright on the prodkeys or other encryption-consequent data.
Furthermore interoperability argument excused SCC from being held responsible for circumventing protections, with the court opinion being that ASIDE from the specifics of the case, the framework should be such that the DMCA cannot be used to enforce a monopoly on goods. That even if Lexmark’s protections were significantly more sophisticated and therefore could actually be potentially covered by copyright, copying them or circumventing them for the purposes of allowing the end user to circumvent their monopoly on toner cartridges would have been protected behavior.
If Yuzu had 2.4 million on them, they could definitely afford a decent lawyer.
What in god’s name makes you think Yuzu actually had $2.4M on them? They just let Tropic Haze LLC go bankrupt and Nintendo can have all the “assets” (a domain name and patreon page they’re about to just close, a small amount of modified Switch hardware, and a brand name nobody cares about). Any cash-on-hand from Patreon donations they’ll obviously take too but it’s unlikely to be much.
NUH UH! WE'VE BEEN OVER THIS, YOU WERE THERE!
If it was real it wouldve been posted here non-stop on March 1. So no, it is not real. Now pull down your strides and bend over, its time to break you
Yes, the japanese twitter handle that exclusively tweets in Japanese is indeed tweeting in English.
Couldn’t Nintendo be targeted with a lawsuit for selling emulation as if it was hardware? (and with its corresponding price)
The questions get more moronic by the day. God have mercy on us all.
Yes, Nintendo could sue itself for emulation.
>I'm not gonna let myself keep getting away with it!
WHAT? PIRACY IS ILEGAL!?!?!?

emulation is legal, what's not legal is the distribution of roms

you can also move your downloads to an external drive. from your ps3

Emulation was legal last time i checked. did the laws change recently?
Steam Deck is loosing all it's games!!!
I've never given Nintendo any money, but I have played all their games from the NES to the Switch
Literally emulating soul silver at this very moment. Lmao
Emulation doesn't cause them to lose any more money than buying a game second-hand would.
>Emulation doesn't cause them to lose any more money than buying a game second-hand would.
Iwata San Willing Nintendo Wiling Nintendo Will Also Make That Illegal As Well
I'm half surprised they haven't tried to implement something like that yet. I think they know not even tendies would put up with it.
You do realize this is why second-hand game shops were illegal in Japan for so many decades right?
I didn't know that, interesting.
Maybe they'll try to regulate the process of second-hand sales so that they would get a part of the money as well?
I just emulated botw yesterday
I don't know if the tweet is but they definitely said that on an official website once
Twitch streamers emulate nintendo games and stream them all the time. Pokemon being one of the most emulated streamed games.
Where is the public outcry from nintendo?
I get to have daddy Nintendo's boot in my ass for begging. Good to know!

YOU'VE BEEN HIT BY A SMOOTH CRIMINAL
who gon stop me
how are they going to destroy every copy of yuzu on every device it's on? hack everyone's computers and phones? lol
Replace Japan with "company I grew up with" and it would be a bit more accurate. Tendies are manchildren that only defend it because they still play ig.
Nintendo is objectively less anti-consumer than Activision. Coming down on an emulator is a lesser evil than nickel and diming your paying customers and actively ruining games to facilitate that.
>go out of your way to ruin people's lives for no benefit to yourself
>allow people to buy different colours for their CoD guns
Tendies are delusional and evil.
>commit crime
>get caught
>omfg evil Nintendo!?!? How could do they this!?!?
Tendie delusion.
Activision are corpo c**ts but they give the customer the rope with which they hang themselves. They don't force you to the rope.
Nintendo drags you to the goddamn tree they hang you in. They are 100% the worst vidya company currently operating, and the only morally correct thing to do is not give them a single dime, and bully and mock people who do until they either kill themselves, or stop giving Nintendo money.
>They are 100% the worst vidya company currently operating
Genuinely would love to know how Nintendo warps your mind into a frenzy like this, you can't even believe what you're saying.

Gee wonder why people think that
The first thing you bring up is a literal fake tweet, Nintendo derangment syndrome in action
>Activision are corpo c**ts but they give the customer the rope with which they hang themselves. They don't force you to the rope.
are you saying this in a "they dont take legal action against modders" type way? because they absolutely do, plutonium and iwx mods (the only way to play old cods without massive security vulnerabilities) got legal threats a while back, same with SM2 a mod that basically combined all the old cods into one engine with new features and shit
They are far less litigious than Nintendo and to pretend otherwise is to be a delusional tendie.
Nintendo is the worst video game corporation currently operating. There is no argument against this beyond tendie delusion. They use your childhood nostalgia to cloak their absolutely disgusting corpo behavior and tendies are the subhumans stupid enough to fall for it.
>Nintendo is the worst video game corporation currently operating.
What because they go after 1 person a year who infringes their IP? What happened to the video games aspect of video games?
No, because they do shit like this or literally make debt slaves out of people, and then turn around and pretend to be this wholesome company by using your nostalgia against you.
Say it with me now,
NINTENDO IS THE WORST VIDEO GAME CORPORATION CURRENTLY OPERATING.
>No, because they do shit like this or literally make debt slaves out of people, and then turn around and pretend to be this wholesome company by using your nostalgia against you.
By do this you mean go after people who are actively making money from their IP?
Yuzu had a patreon which they locked builds behind
Gary Bowser was selling devices to hack the Switch.
Weird, how you ignore that fact. Also how in both cases they had LITERAL MILLIONS to pay Nintendo with. Nintendo is litiguous and would clearly like emulation to stop existing but they fricking pick their battles with morons who think they can get away with making money off it. Meanwhile Nintendo is not suing Ryujinx, another Switch emulator, wonder why that is.
>MUH PROFITS
>MUH PIRACY
>NINTENDO'S TOTALLY JUSTIFIED IN MAKING DEBT SLAVES OUT OF PEOPLE BECAUSE MUH BINGS
I legitimately despise you. I'm not joking tendie. I hate you. I have no respect for you and don't value you as a human being.
>noooo you should care about a 50 year old loser who committed fraud!
Don’t care about your martyr and your crusade against Nintendo.
So we're agreeing that you can't actually refute any of my points and you're irrationally mad at Nintendo? Love how the only argument you guys have been falling back on for 2 years is
>G-Gary Bowser is a debt slave because of Nintendo
No, he's a debt slave because he pretended to be bankrupt to weasel out of being sued, a decision the judge made, not Nintendo. He isn't some innocent guy who Nintendo picked on, he literally made millions for selling a device that broke the law. Just like Yuuz. If you have an actual issue with it, why don't you go picket in front of Capitol Hill to make wage garnishing illegal?
A decision Nintendo backed and pushed for in court you disingenous little corpo bootlicker.
Seriously, have a nice day. End your fricking existence you tendie subhuman frick.
>A decision Nintendo backed and pushed for in court you disingenous little corpo bootlicker.
Oh cool, you want to provide the stenographer's records that show that?
>can you provide thing you obviously would never have access to
As I said, disingenuous shitter.
Nintendo pushed for those damages. They could have withdrew the damage claims and freed him from the obligation but they wanted him made an example of
Because again, they're a filthy fricking corpo and the worst company making vidya.
Your example is moronic on many levels, but first and foremost, even if I owed money to some services corpo (not water as that's an exception, hence why you're moronic) I can still declare I can't pay due to bankrupcy and the corpo can't demand the money
Depends on where you live but if you can’t pay, your wages will be garnished.
>your wages will be garnished.
No they won't be. Your wages are only garnished if it's owed to the state/IRS
> Your wages are only garnished if it's owed to the state/IRS
This isn't true, a quick google search would show you that any creditor can ask for your wages to be garnished.
No in any civilized nation no.
Yes, just America, but that's where the case took place.
1000 hours in Google shows only 4 states have laws that don't allow creditors to garnish wages. The vast majority of states allow it.
>Nintendo pushed for those damages. They could have withdrew the damage claims and freed him from the obligation but they wanted him made an example of
So you're saying you don't have access to the records but you KNOW Nintendo pushed for this?
>frick with water meter
>get free water and stop paying water
>get caught by water company and sued
>wage garnished for stealing water as ordered by the court
>WATER COMPANY IS EVIL AAAAIIIEEE I’M A SLAVE NOW!!
>WATER COMPANY
Water should be free for everyone. It's essential to life.
Nothing is free, someone’s always paying for it. You’re just asking for someone other than yourself to pay for your water.
who the frick paid for the rain and the river????
True, but also, put out a rain barrel or dig a well and collect it yourself. You aren’t paying the water company for the water, you’re paying them for the service of sanitizing it, distributing it, and holding reserves of it to maintain stable availability.
Are you going to be the one to maintain and keep the supply clean?
Collect and purify it yourself, moron.
Did you know that is in fact illegal?
He didn't steal anything he moron. He modified switch hardware after purchase. Are you seriously arguing that a company should get to maintain control of how their physical goods are used after purchase?
>Water company can arbitrarily decide I owe them $10 million, instead of just the value of the water
Why didn't you include this I wonder?
the real world doesn't operate off of unemployed youtuber logic my friend, maybe go to sumito's video and get some updoots in the comment section if you just want to screech on about on your dad- I mean Nintendo
>tendie screeching his subhuman language at me
I actually work and pay taxes tendie. That's the reason I hate corpo slaves so much.
Holy shit seethe harder thief
Maybe you should have thought of that before stealing, and gloating about it online like a moron.
Maybe you should stop being a filthy subhuman tendie sucking corpo wiener.
Alternatively, have a nice day.
yoink
that is what gov is doing by printing new money
These are the same people that laugh at sony fanboys because “le horrible corporation”.

Go back to twitter, homosexual
If twitter is pro-consumer and Ganker is anti consumer then twitter is an objectively smarter group of people.
>instantly jumps to me thinking nintendo is le wholesome chungus shit
no all corpos are dogshit, but do not play down one being just as dogshit because you have some weird schizo agenda activision fricking sucks maybe not as much as nintendo but they sure as frick are terrible
I didn't jump down your throat. You brought up Activision and all I did was say (correctly) that to believe they are worse than Nintendo is to be a delusional tendie. So long as you don't believe that, you're fine.
And no, there's different degrees of shit. Activision's a greedy corpo but they're like any dime a dozen greedy corpo. Microsoft and EA are higher up but are still within the greedy corpo standard model. Then you've got shit like Sony, who are traitors who backstabbed their own in an effort to become bigger. And then there's Nintendo, the worst of the lot. Does everything other filthy corpos do, except they mask it all in yes, the "wholesome chungus shit" as you put it. And people buy it. Tendies, disgusting subhumans that they are, buy it and defend them. Even here on Ganker. Oh sure they mask it with irony and shitposting like any other anon, but they genuinely do defend Nintendo out of a nostalgic loyalty to them. And that makes Nintendo a piece of shit on the level of Disney
The only solution is executions and fire at this point.
>nickel and diming your paying customers and actively ruining games to facilitate that.
If you buy Mk8 you only have access to a tiny part of the game if you don't have the online and the DLC.
>If you buy Mk8 you only have access to a tiny part of the game
Not true, MK8 comes with all DLC from WiiU. New DLCs was done because its a best seller and not like activision use to cut content and save it for DLC.
Pirates are not consumers. Kicking them in the balls is actually pro consumer since it promote the rights of actual consumers

I love how when you always say; if Zelda could run at 4K with 120fps and not 30 fps maybe people wouldn't need to emulate, it makes tendies seethe

I bought a Switch launch day and it's collecting dust cause it can't do any of this shit. People who settle with original hardware are truly cucked, moronic, and jealous.
I love how you morons bragging about yuzu cost the devs their life and they will probably kill themselves.
Wrong, Tropical Haze LLC will go under but it didn't pierce the corporate veil.
Why would you waste money doing that? The companies actually doing what you say are currently going under
not seething, I agree
still doesn't mean it's ok for western companies to subsidize these large emulation projects/anime streaming/manga hosting and translating sites to frick over the only homies who still make semi decent shit
you can be mad about it all you want, but at the end of the day NaughtyDog/Larian didn't make Zelda, they made gay gore porn or whatever the frick that was
cry all you want about your israelite project getting taken down for trying to put multiplayer behind a patreon paywall, but at the end of the day, who's making games worth emulating here?
Only absolute homosexuals need a game at 4k 120fps.
What's funny about these arguments is that I'm watching this video on my phone in a 3" box. It still looks exactly like ToTK. I've played TotK on switch on a 200" projector screen at the native 1080p and it still looks great. "Fidelity" morons are really the most low IQ people around. Even in the comments some moron says "imagine what Nintendo could do if the switch hardware didn't hold them back!!" Yet it's the switch hardware that's partially responsible for the design decisions of botw (a Wii U game) and TotK. The low power of the switch is what forces devs like Nintendo to be creative. Something other devs don't do becuase they're more than happy with bloated ugly games.
Anon it looks like shit on switch. I have an OLED switch and a 42 LG C2. it looks like fricking shit. Get your eyes check bro.

So Nintendo breaks the law when they emulate gba games on the switch?
Nintendo owns the rights to gba, so no

An outlandish premise in 1961, but very possible...in the Twilight Zone.
>flimsy pretext
Yeah that's why they also went after Ryujinx, oh no wait they didn't do that because they don't hide their latest build behind a paywall.
if you unironically like nintendo you are a onions cuck.
even vtubers make fun of you.
Rest in Piss Pedotendo.
No, it's not real.
Shitendo has 0 reason to exist in 2024.
Let this gay plastic children's shitbox die already. If they want money they need to put their games on Steam and Steam only.
Otherwise I WILL continue to emulate.
Actually it's not. Piracy is illegal, emulation isn't.
Reminder that nintendo is a soulless entity that cares about only money and is pure corpo greed
I hope nintendo faces dire straits in the future
I'm pretty sure the opposite will happen because nintendo actually releases games
Usually not very good ones.
Their most recent hit was tears of the asset flip, anyway
After how they treated the mercury steam people we know nintendo is pure evil, all their old guard are falling away and we'll be left with JUST suits from them soon, and they won't be able to hide what they really are
>After how they treated the mercury steam people
?
They will crash and burn then, same as every other soulless company is now. Consumers are making it abundantly clear they won't put up with soulless corporate bullshit anymore, adapt or die.
That's why you morons throw a fit every time they refuse the easy solution to maintain brand integrity by saying that they are just leaving money on the table.
Not where I live

>ryujinx still alive and was already better especially for day 1 emulation of games
Why are nintoddIers like this?
>why are people who like video games happy that a company who makes video games can continue to make video games
I don't know famm you tell me.
Piracy would need to be orders of magnitude more popular for it to threaten Nintendo's ability to make games. Some small developers with niche audiences may have legitimate gripes, but Nintendo sure as hell does not.
this must be a weird timeline because i'm sure the last 30 years of emulations didn't killed nintendo
>implying everyone that pirates nintendo games would buy a switch and the games for a subpar experience
Anon they already have a gorillion dollars and their lineup for the first half of this year is ports and a Princess Peach minigame collection
Nintendo hasn't made a great videogame for 2 decades at least. There isn't any indication this trend will stop.
PC mustards on suicide watch with that one. Without emulation they have NOTHING
Except all the PC games, which is like 90% of all games ever made, if you counted asset flips that number would be closer to 99%
Tendies can repeat the lie as much as they want, doesn't make it truth. Emulation is legal.
Piracy isn't. That's why Yuzu lost Nintendo's lawsuit about piracy
Why doesn't Nintendo talk about piracy then? It's a delibirate attempt to muddy the waters so that it can claim ownership over things it doesn't have.
They haven't talked about emulation either
>Why doesn't Nintendo talk about piracy then?
In what context?
In the context of saying that emulation is illegal. When it isn't.
They never said that, do you actually think that tweet is real?
they did. they used TOTK as an example
>Yuzu lost Nintendo's lawsuit about piracy

Too bad. It is a fake tweet.

Not in Brazil, megacorp. Tell your lawyers to see pic related, make them eat some Sopa de Macaco (Uma Delicia !) and seethe because you can't touch Brazilian anons.
Based. As a fellow monkeyzilian I pirate everything and I have all the emulators installed, the only games I buy are games that are actually good and I feel that the devs deserve the money. The last game I bought was Kenshi for reference.

Pay for the product you want you stupid fricking whiter Black person ingrates
Emulation and piracy is fine as long as you don't monetize it.
Because if you do, then you are a third world bootlegging Black person.
>Reminder that emulation is illegal
Nobody emulates Memeworld, but everyone wants Nintendo games for free. Nothing but white Black folk as far as the eye can see
Reminder that they fricked themselves over by providing ways to extract keys from your own switch since that's how fricked up DMCA is. If they lived in a proper country with consumer rights this wouldn't have been an issue at all.
If the badge arcade completely deleting your collection of paid content on April 8th is anything to go by, Nintendo is more than willing to make your previous digital purchases null and void.
Frick this company
>Nintendo is more than willing to make your previous digital purchases null and void.
We've known this for ages with their digital content in general. Your entire digital library on the 3ds and wii u will die with those systems. The only way to prevent that is to keep buying more secondhand 3ds and wii u's and transferring those games until inevitably one of them breaks before you can get the games off of it. If that's nintendo's "service" then I will happily never buy anything from them again.
I am enjoying so much the seethe and cope from both sides of this shit, keep entertaining me.
"Stealing" from nintendo is justified.
What are the replies? Some subhuman with a Twitter account please share.
It’s fake anon
Nintendo is the only company who actively hunt down emulation. Nobody fricking cares except these Yakuza motherfrickers.
They even got video game rentals banned in Japan lol, fortunately the rest of the world called them moronic
NINTEΝ-DEH! WON

Man on Ganker Twitter shit gets banned but not on Ganker why are Ganker mods so awful?
blocking ads is also illegal. never stopped me before.
It is not. Neither does emulation
I don't use social media

How so, mr. Nintedo-rama-sama?
Havent bought a nintendo game since smash ultimate and Im never gonna buy one again, I'll just keep pirating. A company behaving like that doesn't deserve any of my money.
Stop posting fakes!
Same applies to (You).
They settled for fricking nothing, it's obvious they wouldn't have won in court if any of the defendants could actually afford lawyers
>it's obvious nintendo just wants to use their work without hiring them
it literally isnt illegal
Emulation is fine, so is piracy, who gives a shit. Just don't be surprised when playing leaked rom(s) of a anticipated game long before its retail release date was going to raise any sort of suspicions from any company in question, especially if people are pant on head moronic enough to gloat about in en masse all over social medias for clout.
Its simple: Don't make easily accessible records of you doing dubious shit as that can be traced back to you in some form. People gave Nintendo the rope to start the hangings and now they're doing it.
I am sure they will like they have for the last 30 years. Any day now.
I simply do not care. Sell me the games i want or I'm going to play them anyways.
>already has fork projects
Lmao, thought emulation was over?
>All this because the pirates just wouldn't shut the frick up.
They was 100% self inflicted. Way to go you 3rd world morons bragging online about emulation software and how easy it is, you ruined it for everyone
Nothing is ruined. It's the same as it always was.
>Implying Nintendo is going to stop with Yuzu
It's going to get worse
>Pirates chased away the best Denuvo cracker
>Games are becoming live service
But of course you pirates are all shortsighted of what's actually happening, typical 3rd world brain rot.

>implying Ryujinx isn't untouchable in Brazil
>implying Denuvo is some sort of golden vault
Lmao
I don't know about Brazil but denuvo has one person that can crack it these days
Ruined what, you stupid doomposter? Did switch emulation end when we weren’t looking? I still got all my games here, don’t you?
That's kind of a broad statement, but these are slant-eyed israelites living in the most copyright bootlicking country on Earth, so it's to be expected
but it isnt. distributing the games is the illegal part
Reminder that Nintendo games are for children
and apparently PC players are going insane at the possibility of losing access to those games
To be fair if I wanted to play Nintendie games I'd probably emulate them considering they run and look better than on their native console
Maybe I'd be annoyed if xenia or dolphin got nuked but Shitch has even less good games than playstation lol
uhh yeah i have to debunk that

Lmao too bad 'tendo I'm playing MH Tri online at 1080 60fps and there's nothing you can fricking do about it.
That’s not even Nintendo’s game. And Capcom sure as frick doesn’t care about Tri
Reminder the emulation is legal.
More moronic kiddies seething that they don't have access to the objective benefits of emulation like the rest of us do. What are we supposed to do wait for Nintendo NOT to make a Pro console? Frick you, I'm playing the games in 4K60fpsHDR cause I can.
>You'll own nothing and be happy
WAHOOOOO
WAAAA
Yipiiiiiiiiii!
Thank god I have never, NEVER bought a single nintendo game, console and handheld during my entire life.
That's false. It is illegal to share the games but emulating (games you own legally) is 100% legal
>fake twitter screencap thread is still up 300 posts later
Ganker is shithole
>own old game
>own old console
>decide to play old game rom with an emulated console on vastly superior hardware rig
How is this illegal?
This is why I've never felt bad for shitendo even when they were on the verge of going defunct
They dont want you play older games, they want you to buy 69.99 remasters and new goyslop like pokeshit.
>This is why I've never felt bad for shitendo even when they were on the verge of going defunct
this never happened, not even on 64 or wiiU era.
Don't forget when these homosexuals were charging $70 for a game in the 90's. "You don't understand goyjin, these proprietary cartridges are expensive!"
why does everybody on Ganker take everything they read on the internet at face value?
I own a switch, I play Nintendo games. And yet I think they're full of bullshit and emulation is legit.
Yeah SURE you do. False flagging piece of crap
Is it really such a bad thing to emulate and/or pirate games you already bought? Like look, you can't really defend someone who just pirates the entirety of the Switch catalog because he wants it for free. That's a given. But some of us do genuinely buy our games, and want to enjoy them at higher resolutions, better framerates, and maybe with some quality of life additions. The corporate shills have yet to answer why this is such an abomination against mankind. If your argument is that "it's a lost sale" even if you already bought the game, then by that logic, even sticking to old hardware and playing just on the original rom is piracy, because you're not giving them money for new games. Using the family share option is piracy, since that's 1 sale when it could've been 2 or even 3. Lending games is piracy, since the company didn't authorize a transferal of ownership.
What would appease everyone here?

Nintendo is tricky because they do it slightly less bad than other companies, which prompts the fandom to defend them.
Not just paying for online.
Remember that NSO was only introduced about halfway into the console's life, and it was completely free to use online before then.
So they took away an essential part of the product and put it behind a paywall.
How come I can buy Sonic Unleashed for Xbox still, but I have to emulate or bust out an older pc port if I wanna play Sonic Heroes?
Friendly reminder that the only reason israelitetindo had any grounds for a lawsuit is because the moronic Black folk who run Yuzu put Tears of the Kingdom's rom behind a paywall before it launched.
And all the game journalists publicly directing everyone how to pirate and emulate shit like kotaku did with metroid dread
no it isn't
time to mass download all the emulators and roms and then save it on a big harddrive

What's the difference between emulating a game and paying some Steve $100 bucks for a third hand copy of it instead?
the $100
Nintendo is illegal.
This is fake, Nintendo cannot claim a falsehood like this and not have it be used against them in a case. Sony had already gone after emulation and lost, setting a precedent that reverse engineering a product that plays games is perfectly legal and nintendo also lost some older similar case but with hardware.
Leave. Nintendo. Alone.
This isn't a fricking game. This isn't me asking nicely. Leave. Them. The. Frick. Alone.

>emulation is illegal, so let me steal your emulator and shove it in a fricking tiny machine and call it virtual console or some shit I don't know, making it even worse than emulating it yourself. now is not emulation and is legal haha.
ESL third worlders are so thoroughly uninteresting that they think their unwillingness to pay for games is a vital topic for discussion that needs a dozen threads up on Ganker at the same time. Let that sink in
Where's my PS3 emulation?!?
if YUZU wasnt such a team of poor b***hes they could easily win in court because
1. emulation is not illegal
2. simulation is not illegal
3. reverse engineering software and hardware to create a competing product is legal
Yuzu made their money, they let their sham corporation they specifically made for this scenario take the fall while the individuals get off scott free, and yuzu is already getting forked.
Why fight Nintendo of all fricking corporations when they could just cut off their tail and get away?
cowards
Yes, but I can't really blame them. If Nintendo's going after them specifically while they've been unable to do anything against emulation all this time despite seething so hard over it, then Nintendo likely had a case against something specific that they did. It's better for everyone that they settle and not go up against Nintendo's army of lawyers with some gutter lawyer and set a negative precedent.
nta but what sham corp?
Tropic Haze LLC
It's not a "sham" but yuzu was released by a LLC (Tropic Haze) so all they have to do is have Tropic Haze LLC default. The company "goes under", they lose all their "assets" (of which there are basically none), and they agree to "destroy all copies" of an open-source codebase that's already been mirrored a million times.
The actual people making this emulator were, presumably, smart enough to just pay themselves salaries from Tropic Haze's earnings, or collect dividends. So their personal assets are safe and they have no liability. Tropic Haze LLC is the entity that settled and that is potentially liable for any wrongdoing. The individuals who made yuzu were just employees. Employees don't take the fall when a company does something illegal.
>Employees don't take the fall when a company does something illegal.

But didnt they do it with thoose mario games?
if you're not an emulating piratechad, you're a limp dick homosexual bootlicker
simple as
Also sell 15FPS games at 70$ should be illegal!
emulators are not illegal as long as they do not use shit only found in the emulated console in the process of emulation. this is why dolphin is still a-ok. this is (most likely) why ryujinx isn't fricked. if emulators were outright illegal, they would be culled long, long before word of them reaches the common man - because nintendo is always on the lookout for emulators and ways they can sink the ship before it leaves the harbor. another big mistake yuzu did was advertising ToTK builds in their fricking patreon before the game was even out. i will not argue with dumb Black folk who do not understand the legality of emulators, but i will tell them that they are dumb Black folk, and why they are moronic apes. if you do not understand, you never will, and i will not dumb it down for you. that's what reddit is for.
>NOOOOO YOU CAN'T JUST HAND PRESS THE JUICE

I thought you could emulate something legally, like if you are developing an app for your phone you can emulate the phone's OS on your computer so you can load your app onto it. Or is that illegal too now?
No. It never was, as long as the emulator itself does not copy/reuse code from the thing being emulated. Yuzu did, which is why it's getting blown away.
If its not illegal to do that, and it never was, why is Nintendo saying it is?
Because they are a company that wants to scare emulation devs into not making emulators, and to convince their fans that emulators are illegal purely by an authoritative figure's word. If you're just talking about OP's post - it's a fake tweet. This entire thread was built upon a fake tweet. If you asked Bill Trinen what he thinks about emulators? He's probably going to tell you what he thinks as a Nintendo employee, "opinions are my own" be damned.
Its not though, yuzu settled to avoid the patreon pay (indirect funding) backlash. Its not illegal to emulate anything especially for archival purposes. Its not illegal to make copies of your own property as long as it does not affect copyright sales in the case of selling said copies. Breaking encryption on your own devices(property) is not illegal either (ex locks/keybreak on own home). The win is to convince the moronic, weak to fight(court), use it as an example for lawyers to point to and convince moronic judges and give clout to the butthole company. They are going to milk their "win" settlement though.
this reminds me of that thing the publisher of solo leveling said
>be a paid reader
or something lol. east asia is places like korea and japan taking copyright seriously and then china
Emulations perfectly legal. Nintendo sittin in a hive drones cant deal with this fact and will use any poorly documented reason to say otherwise. Yuzu didn't get hit for emulation by the way, it got hit for using Nintendo's property to paywall and key decryption. Every other modern emulator is staying up. Please remain upset.
Emulation is legal so long as I paid for the code at least once. So the courts have decided. How I choose to use the code, is solely up to me.
>*Heavy's voice*

>Switchs been collecting dust since i made the mistake of buying Pokemon Sword.

Noooo our sales are sinking people are emulating mario party 64 and peak linkerino on a chink raspy clone instead of buying the hecking nintendino with super mario slop n° 123819237123 and souless empty world zeldas noooooooooooooo

if these fricking morons didnt paywall totk and early builds they could have sidestepped all this shit, PERSONAL GREED IS A QUICK WAY TO ATTRACT CORPORATE GREED. THEY CANT DO ANYTHING ABOUT THE EMULATOR ITSELF SO LETS GIVE THEM THE ONLY OUT THEY CAN TAKE LIKE A FRICKING APE
something that has always weirded me out about boo-ette or whatever its called is that its just pamella from the atelier series
like its just her but with white hair. pamela is a ghost too in the series
Nintendo may have made a mistake.
As long as emulation is associated with piracy, the normalgays will always resist.
Now with Nitnendo forcing emulation away, they may be created the stimulus for people to finally start trading Nintendo games outside of Nintendo consoles, legally.
I know it's not going to happen, but it's an interesting thing to think about...
In two months' time, someone will come up with a Nintendo Switch cartridge reader that you can plug into your PC and play Zelda TOTK at 4K/60fps...
so did they destroy yuzu or not i havent been following this shit

There hasn't been a single Nintendo game I've wanted to pirate since Rune Factory 4 on the DS. They are stagnant as frick and got their ass whooped at their own game by knock off adult Pokemon.

Well then, get every computer newer than a 486 and set it on fire.
Also get off the internet
oh boy looks like I'm commiting a felony today
Nintendo won.
sorry nintendo, I'll be emulating your entire menu as if I were playing on a real switch, you won't stop me
It actually isn't but okay.
Switch emulators are one thing, that's current gen, but what about games for older consoles that are no longer sold by Nintendo? I am unable to play, say, 3ds games without dropping hundreds of dollars at a vintage game/collector retailer or by downloading a ROM. With either method of acquiring a copy of the game, Nintendo "loses no money" and that's only if you make the generous assumption that people who pirate would otherwise purchase a console or copy of the game from Nintendo in the first place. I believe a wise fat man once said that piracy is primarily a service problem and he continues to be right to this day.
are pokemon gba ds 3ds games going to fricking skyrocket???????????
I don't know why Gamefreak won't let Nintendo put old mainline Pokemon games on the Switch's emulator since it would cost them literally nothing and there's currently no way to buy the older games non-third party. Blah blah muh trade evolutions, take the two fricking seconds to remove that and let Gengar evolve normally at level 30 something.
emulation is not illegal
never will be
copy pretendo
silence criminal scum under arrest, you had NO power here.
>virtual machines are illegal

What really pisses me off about all this is that they killed Citra too while also making that entire library unavailable. But hearing about what the Yuzu team actually did I can't feel bad for them.
So fricking moronic. Emulation is the only thing keeping Nintendo alive, keeping them relevant.

>bunch of old japanese executives still living in the 1980s
>think "emulation" only applies to bijder gaems
i think they should clarify to mean illegally pirating their vidya is illegal. emulators are fine. yuzudevs were just completely spinless pussies who freaked out seeing some boilerplate legalese letter in their inbox and burned it all down.
Most users of emulators don't own the games and never intended to buy them. They're full of shit if they claim they do. It's probably 1% who uses it legitimately. But at the same time Nintendo isn't making virtual console games available to buy, which is annoying.
They wouldn't say that, as they've been utilizing emulation themselves for over 20 years.
I feel like if Steam Deck didn't come out and let people emulate Switch games on it day one, Nintendo wouldn't have lost their shit so hard
its not?
