SHUT IT DOWN

Why hasn't Nintendo killed Switch emulators yet? You can steal NSPs for 60-70 dollar games on Day 0-1. That must be bad for business.

            First of all, denuvo is a publisher choice. It has nothing to do with valve. Second, I don't play games that use denuvo, regardless of whether they are cracked or not, just the same as I don't use EGS regardless as to whether the game is exclusive to EGS or not.

              if steam had any integrity they would ban denuvo and third party DRM because it means they're selling faulty non-preservable products to customers with a ticking time bomb strapped to them.

                denuvo is usually temporary because it costs companies large license fees, in most cases they remove it from the game after a year or two

                the company could also just delist and stop selling the game and leave every buyers existing copy infected with denuvo.
                rather than buy a compromised copy, it's best just to wait and pirate it to punish the company for ever infecting the game in the first place.
                if everyone did that they'd think twice.

                I'd love to live in a world were every denuvo game gets refunded and review bombed to hell until they're forced to respect their customers.

                It wasn't meant to be an argument in favor of companies using denuvo. I was just pointing out how things generally go. I don't buy games that use denuvo on principle. I don't even pirate them because I don't even want to talk about the game or give it any attention and would rather it shrivel up and die.

    US courts could decide emulation is illegal anytime they want, they just haven't yet

    There's countless infinite laws and regulations in the USA, no one even knows how many laws there are or the thousands of pages of moronic contradictory legal-speak that they're made of.

    Building a shed in your backyard is illegal and requires hundreds of pieces of paperwork and inspections/fees/approvals.

    There is undoubtedly HUNDREDS of pieces of US law that would make emulation illegal

    Really what decides if something is illegal or not is whether it's enforced. Virtually everything is illegal and everyone is a criminal in USA if the elites/cops want you to be.

      American law is based heavily on precedent, where previous court decisions set examples for how similar cases should be decided.

      https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sony_Computer_Entertainment,_Inc._v._Connectix_Corp.
      https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sega_v._Accolade

      These are the main court cases that decided emulation was legal in the US on the basis that it's reverse engineering, and reverse engineering is legal.
      If Nintendo sued one of the emulation developers, their lawyers could cite these cases and win easily.
      So it's not worth the effort for Nintendo.

              Every game console is basically it's own nation with it's own language and the games are like it's citizens.
              Your PC can't understand or speak Nintendo 64. So your PC simply can't run an N64 game because your PC can't read Nintendo 64 language and the N64 game can't understand PC language.

              The emulator is basically a translator. It's taking the incoming game data and turning it into something that the PC can read and vice versa. Unless you have a good translator information is going to get lost or misinterpreted so this leads to errors and slow down.
              Also some languages are harder than others. One example would be say Super Nintendo Entertainment System is a simpler "language" and easier to translate while say Nintendo 64 is a much harder language and is much harder to translate without losing vital info.
              On top of that these old languages aren't used anymore so to understand the "language" takes some archeology expertise too. Which is why even Nintendo has problems "translating" a language they understood X years ago. It's like an old medieval dialect nobody speaks anymore.

              there is zero reason to play a game in an emulator when you can pirate the ported version.
              we use emulators to play exclusives.
              nintendo has a shitton of exclusives, high demand for the emulators, the emulators run pretty well, but the switch doesn't have perfect emulation, but for pretty much every exclusive, it's fine, but many games are fps locked, and they coded it so that it's impossible to increase the fps (intentionally or because they are reusing an old engine that was designed like that, and too lazy to fix it).
              we are never going to get a ps4/xbox one emulator and newer because there are zero exclusives, and any exclusives are probably going to get ported in a few years (or whatever the contract terms are) if it's worth a remaster.

          No? Because that's literally what Emulators are. Programs that make console games run on PC hardware

          I assume they were talking about decompilation projects or sourceports.
          like the ones for Mario 64, Jak & Daxter, OoT, Dark Forces, etc.

          Those are all legal too. Because they don't bundle any of the games assets with them, they require you provide your own copy of the game in order for them to function

          no if you could make your console games run on a modified toaster or fridge that would be fine too.
          it's your game, you bought and own it. you can make as many digital back ups and play it on whatever you want.

          if a company sell you a baseball bat and says it's only to be used to hit baseballs it's your right as a consumer to make them go frick themselves.

      the literally could not.
      90% of the technology you use right now relies on emulation.
      the fricking realtek onboard sound chip on your motherboard emulates yamaha sound chips from the 80s.
      your cpu emulates instruction sets it cant natively do all the time and a shitload of other things.
      emulation is never illegal.
      it can be used to do illegal things but so can be a fricking rock you pick up from the side of the street.
      ironically the first people that would riot if emulation was suddenly illegal would be every technology manufacturer ever including nintendo because now their hardware could not be used anymore because its emulating different aspects of other hardware.

      Opposite already happened, courts decided a long, long time ago that emulation is completely legal as long as none of it is pre-packed with proprietary code such as a BIOS or game ROM.
      Here's the thing though, that decision was made for commercially-sold PS1 emulators, not something Nintendo-related. Do you know how Sony solved that problem? They sued the frick out of the companies selling the emulators until they died of financial ruin (winning a court case still means having to pay off your legal fees) and in one case they simply bought the company out and immediately terminated the whole operation. That kind of thing doesn't work anymore because nowadays everybody puts their emulators up for free and millions of people download it without giving a single red cent to the authors.
      This is why Nintendo has only been able to take down the stuff that either uses their shit directly or is being sold for money, everything else is protected by law.

          It's because it's Sony, in their prime no less, so they had a lot of sway in getting all those follow-ups going. Just to remind you, Sony of the current age was effectively blocking Microwiener out from acquiring Actiblizz all on their own after all the other tech companies said there was nothing wrong with the purchase, and were able to delay it for over a year until they put all their eggs into the basket of some dumbass b***h gubmit worker who never won an actual court case in her life, who proceeded to lose everything due to basic incompetence. Imagine just how powerful Sony was back in the 90s and early 00s.

      No they can't. Current laws state they are legal. Nintendo has lost repeated court battles over this for 20 years straight. They don't just have to "declare emulation is illegal", they have to declare that the entire judicial system was completely wrong about the 1,500 various court cases decided based on current laws along with appealing the two dozen laws regarding things like right to repair or right to backup for personal use, and then they have to do this while maintaining appeals cases from unfathomable numbers of companies whose products would suddenly be illegal because a random court tried to overturn 50 years of precedence.

      Anyway, emulation isn't going anywhere. Emulation isn't illegal; distributing copyrighted video games is.

      It's just not worth it to persecute every Joe Bumfrick. As long as devs and leakers aren't braindead morons (read: nintendo fanboys), they can shirk the laws and suffer nothing. Even if console emulation would become de jure illegal.

        How the frick would it be enforceable? There is literally nothing illegal about emulation itself you idiot. The only illegal part is how you attain your ROMs and ISOs. Most emulators also require you to dump the BIOS from your own console in order to actually play the emulator.

        Nintendo have literally sued people into having to give them part of their paychecks for the rest of their mortal days in an effort to protect their IPs, yet they can't do shit in this instance. Emulators never contain proprietary code and the groups that offer them for download always cover their asses saying they don't condone piracy. You can't hold a person selling a hammer responsible for the people that use them to cave peoples' heads in with them when they're marketed for DIY purposes

        Look, in order to enforce IP rights, you have to go after each and every pirate individually. Out of a global population of ~8 Billion.
        There is no way to feasibly enforce IP rights for video games.

                It's not illegal in America.

                American law is based heavily on precedent, where previous court decisions set examples for how similar cases should be decided.

                https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sega_v._Accolade

                These are the main court cases that decided emulation was legal in the US on the basis that it's reverse engineering, and reverse engineering is legal.
                If Nintendo sued one of the emulation developers, their lawyers could cite these cases and win easily.
                So it's not worth the effort for Nintendo.

    The short answer is they can't - Nintendo is one of the most stupidly litigious companies out there but the developers of these emulators stick very close to the law. There's a reason that they say you have to dump your own games etc.. and other things protected by actual law. As another anon has said, Sony v Bleem and other decisions ensure emulation is legal. Even piracy is not really an issue, outside of the service issue that Gaben is right claiming it to be.

    I'd be happy to buy most Switch games were they available on PC via Steam or Itch or something else I'd already use that wasn't shitty. Same with anything else. But they don't. So frick them and frick that. I don't have any interest to buy a proprietary console that's made of dumbed down PC or mobile hardware in order to play games, when I have a perfectly capable PC. Emulation also protects games from being secreted away and sold by overpriced repeated ROMs en masse for every platform.

    The bigger question is why would you support locked down, proprietary, corporate bullshit instead of playing it on open hardware you control, be it a new or old title? Even owning a Switch, I have a better experience playing on Yuzu/Ryujinx for the most part as I can render at 4K native, mod it as I wish (Fitness Boxing Fist of the North Star does not come with JP audio for some stupid reason. It had to be modded in) and more. There's even worldwide LDN emulating rooms. The only thing we need isa real NSO-alternative platform akin to Pretendo for WiiU/3DS.

      The vast majority of people nowadays have only a single value in their lives and the name of it is convenience. Consoles are slightly more convenient. Yes, they're shittier in every other way but that is all trumped for these people by their convenience.

      • 7 months ago
        Anonymous

        I think that's always been illusory, at least as long as I consider "consoles" no longer necessary.

        I grant that back during the PS2-era and previous, the console was typically significantly different, purpose built, CHEAPER hardware meant for gaming. A gaming PC even circa Y2K could easily cost 2000-3000 USD and be hardly able to play next year's games without upgrade. This would be even worse the fartherback. Compared to a multi-thousand Apple IIE,a NES was nothing (though $300 at the time was still a frickload of money). However, after the era of the PS2/Gamecube etc.. generation, most consoles became more and more "off the shelf" and also more PC like. Less convenience. The reason we had shitty DLC pushed for everything including the creation of Horse Armor was that Microsoft demanded that the X360 have something to sell on marketplace for every game etc. By the PS4/XBOne era everything was EXACTLY standard PC or mobile hardware, but limited by software/firmware to only do one thing the platform wanted it. More games needed updates, downloads, installs, hell sometimes just online verfications (remember Mass Effect trying to crunch down on resale copies?). So it has never really been about convenience especially today I'd think.

        The Steam Deck is the best argument in the opposite direction- a very "console like easy experience" but its also a full, unencumbered PC that you can do what you wish with it. Its the "un-Console", which is one reason that it is blowing the mind of Japan and the rest of Asia. But yeah, I can't imagine people today are buying games for convenience alone on consoles, but then again they will also buy gacha crap and mobile monetization so clearly there are issues.

    not enough rich people actually pirate.
    video games is a luxury, a gaming PC is a luxury, easily starting at $1000 (maybe $500 if you are ok with 30fps emulation, or exploit the used market). while a switch costs $300, you can easily afford 2 games and a few months of online.
    also you can buy a switch and pirate at the same time, emulators do have bugs (but it does require hard modding in most cases).
    Also pirates can't get around multiplayer games. It's easy for the servers to check if your account actually owns the game.
    Also zero proof to say that making piracy illegal will actually prevent piracy, because unless they implemented a blanket law that says that simply connecting to a website that hosts any pirated material should get you fined, it's pretty much impossible for your ISP and etc to be able to find out what you downloaded (unless spyware snitches on you).
    And if you shut down a website, another one will pop up.
    if you ban encryption / forfeit all your privacy to "make sure you are not doing bad things", you have a hellscape.
    emulators aren't illegal because it's not stealing anything, they making something on their own, hacking your hardware on the otherhand is illegal, yet it's still very possible (like facebook marketplace), because not enough people actually do it, and because you usually can't play pirate multiplayer games (maybe locally, or some multi-plat it might work).

        What I forgot to mention is that people need to store these games in some physical medium (HDD/SSD), and putting more games on it reduces how much free space I can have. Technically speaking, "acquiring" games can only hurt me. I'm the one running out of digital room.

    Emulation is legal, but sharing proprietary data like firmware, encryption keys, games, game assets, etc. is not.

    There is a lot to do with "clean-room implementation" methodology as well, meaning that a developer or dev group cannot use proprietary knowledge (i.e. SDKs, internal documentation and training, etc.) to build the emulator. They have to reverse-engineer it from scratch, fair and square. If you have been exposed to any of that knowledge, you are tainted and should avoid ever working on that specific project to avoid getting sued.

    Yuzu and Ryujinx both adhere to all of these legal restrictions. You have to supply your own encryption keys, firmware files, and games. None of the devs have ever worked with the switch SDK or had access to development documentation. They're golden.

    Emulation isn't illegal because it is derived from understanding how a technology sold to the public works. Which isn't illegal.

    That's the basis ultimately. If the public were not allowed to know intimately how a piece of technology being sold to them worked it would constitute a crime actually. And in the understanding of how the technology works comes the ability to make something similar to it which is also legal. Patents have clear things they govern that you bypass with emulation as well, it's based on similarity and sales which most emulation gets away with since they aren't being sold (technically) and are of course clearly not a 1:1 reproduction of the software used and isn't on the same hardware either.

          The DS was marketed by Nintendo as a "third column" console and had very few games of interest in its first year in the market. Most of the games were experimental games that heavily relied on the system's gimmicks. Even so, the PSP failed because they had no good games for it. The system's attach rate was some of the worst numbers in modern console history.

    If you don't stop the money from being carted off, you'll lose the bank's funds. But if you don't find out where the leak is, then you're going to get robbed again. Once something has been decrypted, in can be impossible to re-encrypt it.
