So is it over for emulation?

DMCA laws mean that any emulator that requires a BIOS can be sued. This means that Citra, Ryujinx, Dolphin, PCSX2, Duckstation, Xemu, Xenia, and RPCSX3 are all next.

Legacy gaming is over. With emulation, if someone wanted to play the Xbox 360 version of Saints Row 2 in 2050 online, after microsoft shuts down the 360 live service, they could with Xenia. That won't happen anymore, and once these consoles become rarer and rarer these games will be lost forever. Game preservation just died.

    Honestly I feel this way unironically about this situation.Good.

    Honestly the last straw was when totk leaked ONE MONTH EARLY and I'm being punished for preordering the game and being hyped for it for years. Think about how much hype that killed. Knowing how you fricking thieves were spamming spoilers all over social media and YouTube so me and my friends would accidentally run into it because we need to be on social media to communicate..shit was infuriating seeing stuff about Zelda and Ganon and all the secrets being spoiled.

    I'm glad. And I hope Nintendo pushes further and sues all emulator developers even if they lose the lawsuit I want them to drain these fricking thieves dry so they can't even afford a place to live and rot in the streets for what they did.

    There's a difference between preserving games and leaking games early so emulatorlittledickgays can play it early and leak the Godamn plot and story early.
    Just yesterday unicorn overlord got leaked. And they're going to spoil the story, spam it all over here and social media and ruin it for preorder fans.

    Emulation of modern systems= piracy. End of. No argument. You are a thief and deserve your balls cut off for stealing a game that many of us are waiting for.

          Game companies can and do release games early, why do you think every AAA game is a buggy mess at launch? The fact that the leaked version of TotK wasn't a broken piece of shit just means that nintendo is old fashioned like that and still tries to make their games work before selling them.

      It was officially licenced physical copies of the game that were leaked. You want to stop this? You'll have to convince Nintendo to go all in on digital. Maybe even adopt the gamepass model instead of selling games.

      I lost my games in a boating accident. I still have legal right to play them via emulation, if I so choose.
      I can even download someone else's backup copy off of the Pirate Bay, if I am so inclined (like what Nintendo did when adding some ROMs to Virtual Console), because I had previously owned them, and continued to hold the right to play these games due to my purchase of them, and had not relinquished that right via the sale or transfer of that right.

      anon yuzu might stop development but it's still a robust emulator that can play relatively high end games like ToTK, RDR and Xenoblade. it's more than likely a game like Unicorn Overlord that while being breathtaking to look at, doesn't exactly push the hardware anywhere near its limits, will be playable as is with whatever yuzu build you have lying around on your PC

    Except this has nothing to do with emulation being legal or not, and never had to begin with.

    Yuzu only got fricked because they paywalled a fix for ToTK, which hadn't been released yet.

    So yeah, emulation is legal. What the Yuzu team did wasn't, and it was easy to make a case against them in this scenario.

    Why do you keep saying this. It was just a settlement because they didn't want to fight, most likely because nintendo had discord pics of them claiming to pirate games so they can add emulation support for them. No precedent was set. On the other hand, Nintendo can just sue small devs that don't want to fight them over it, even if it's technically legal. Solution: Have good opsec, don't be an idiot, contribute anonymously.

    People keep thinking that Stopping emulators stop piracy, it just stops people not buying the console (which is fricking trash, I seriously don't want to have to waste $110 a year because the console is poorly built, on top of the online, which in my country almost nobody owns a switch so I would have to pay by myself)
    Piracy within the console is gonna be still up.

    Stopping yuzu is kinda like stopping Homebrew, you do anything at the cost of stopping piracy. I would not be surprised if nintendo puts a killswitch or some random bullshit against the consumer in order to stop any type of tweaking on their games. I am kind of sick of this.

    And this is just one more thing to add to the list of aberrant stuff they made trough the Switch's Lifetime, I am glad I bought a Wii U (back in the day) and not a switch.

        unless you can directly prove that theres no case. Also even if that were the case, if there was no actual copyright infringement then theres no legal basis to run a lawsuit.

        There isnt any. Its just Nintendo strongarming with their army of lawyers trying to drag out the ~~*case*~~ as long as they can. Do lock pick tool companies get sued because someone used their tools to break into a house?

        you'd think not but some dangerous precedent was set with lawsuits and the gun industry. Some of the companies settled, but some manufacturers were sued after sandyhook claiming that they were responsible for the shooting because they made the gun. Real shame they settled because the courts would have slapped that shit down.

      The DMCA has a DRM Circumvention Clause that states bypassing or otherwise nullifying software DRM is illegal without the permission of the owner of the DRM in question.

      Even without providing the keys, if you provide any process step that completes this objective (in this case, providing the emulator that then plays the decrypted games) you are liable. This exact clause was used over a decade ago to C&D (settled out of court) several bluray decryption softwares, leaving Russian and Chinese sources as the only ones today.

      Nintendo has finally move onto using this for emulators. The simple matter is, it's the perfect attack vector because it sidesteps the precedent for 2 other emulation protection cases and doesn't violate those rulings in any way. Emulators are still technically 100% legal, you can duplicat ethe function of a console 1:1 for research or homebrew purposes. You can also rip your own discs without question. The trick is the DMCA clause makes the marriage of the 2 act, ie actually PLAYING those decrypted backups the illegal part.

          Modern emulation. The way that DRM is defined by the DMCA clause essentially restricts it to encryption methods used started from the 6th gen and beyond. Anything prior to the 2000s is safe unless some corpos manage to successfully expand the DMCAs definition

        We have congress routinely meet to discuss jailbreaking phone DRM, and routinely they say it's OK. This was garbage that would have been thrown out to focus on the real problem: The patreon that Yuzu was running which gave early access to games.

        Anyone remarkably uneducated constantly repeats the "BUT CIRCUMVENTING DRM IS ILLEGA-" Because it ignores that it was a civil case and also ignores that the act of circumventing DRM isn't Yuzu's problem. You made that law up in your head.

            Dolphin didn’t accidentally did that, the encryption keys aren’t the same as a bios, the wii cryptographic key is a random string that’s publicly available you can’t copyright it. Either Nintendo’s DRM argument is correct and it doesn’t matter where you get the key or it’s not and Dolphin did nothing wrong.

    It was only about the money. You can make software versions of hardware all day long. No one can stop you. Even if it means more piracy. They were raking in millions on this scam and they got called out. Notice Nintendo made no mention of Ryujinx? It's not paywalled. That's why they enslaved gay bowser, because he was making tons of money off of their IP. That's actionable, and even though Yuzu probably would have won in the end, it would have cost them a lot more time and money than 2.4 million and the loss of their paypig backers. I've followed emulation for a long time and have contributed and coded for a number of them. I have never seen a single guy who builds the actual instruction set for the CPU ever stick around. I would guess that Yuzu devs just yanked the hard part that some real talent reverse engineered for the challenge and then raked in the dough. Once the architecture is cracked, the rest is code monkey shit.

    If you don't already have an emulation setup + collection and you're b***hing, I'm going to assume you're lazy or baiting/fake.
    There's also the route of getting the hardware + games which is a more authentic feel to the actual classic experience. Its not that expensive either, only select games are highly valued and many are much less than the $70 launch ($90 early access) + seasonal $10 battle pass + $40 dlcs standard we're approaching

    No but it could have been. Yuzu paying the fine instead of fighting it out in court saved emulation.
    The fault lies in c**ts that try and "epicly own" people by publicly saying/commenting how they're gonna emulate. All that shit does is make nintendo release their ninjas and lawyers.
    There's this one c**t on youtube, Mutahar, that I usually agree with but he keeps saying how he enjoys emulating and "sticking it to the man" while having a huge following. Somehow he doesn't realize he's part of the reason nintendo goes after emulators.

      Then they'd have to argue why companies are allowed to have emulators, if all emulation is illegal. You can't just say that only a few are okay, because companies like sega rely on emulation to deliver games like the sega master collection.

                Nintendo laid out how they only went after Yuzu for them offering patches for Zelda before it was released behind a paywall. That's the reason why they even tried.

                I sincerely doubt other devs will stop working on their stuff, even better, if they had any paywalls preventing you from getting newer versions they might remove them now.

        It literally did, I was there, Yuzu paywalled special builds that could play ToTK when it leaked, people told them it would bite them in the ass but they didn't heed the warning

          To begin with the early access builds are not paywalled, you can download the source and compile it yourself and spend $0.00. But it doesn't matter because the TotK-specific fixes were made by random people that had nothing to do with Yuzu and TotK-specific stuff wasn't incorporated into Yuzu until release.

        Not only did it happen, it's the reason Yuzu folded without even attempting to fight back because even they knew how astronomically fricking stupid it was.
        They got greedy and decided to shit where they ate.

    Not really, it's not a legal precedent and this was mainly about Yuzu being absolute fricking morons that took 30 bucks a month to lock builds and online behind a paywall while also breaking through encryptions. Yuzukeks will of course cope and seethe, pretending as if Nintendo is the big bad when it was Yuzu basically holding up a neon sign in Nintendo's faces asking to be sued. Rest of emulation, especially those of pre-Switch consoles, will be perfectly fine.

    the goal isn't to get rid of old emulators, it's to scare anyone from making new emulators. the switch 2 is on the horizon and nintendo doesn't want there to be a repeat of yuzu.

      Kind of agree, although emulation work should start the moment it can, so when the system is eventually discontinued, people will have a decent understanding. It took 20 years for the PS2 to become workable, after all.

        Bootlicking? I enjoy emulating games, but that doesn't mean I'm entitled to pirate something that hasn't been released yet. There was some investment by Nintendo into developing that title, let it be Zelda in this case and emulating it before release was just asking for trouble (I didn't do it simply because both emulators were too buggy when emulating it, so I gave it a few weeks before doing so).
        It's going to be super shitty to have companies bully emulator developers because of entitled shits like you. You're endangering the whole scene because "m-muh games". Go frick yourself homosexualron, I'll just archive everything before it all goes to shit because of you.

      Emulation and modding is always necessary on the long term anyway. You can still play Deus Ex on PC but it's prone to crash without engine mods. And if you want to play DOS games you need DOSbox.

      Some 90-year old buttholes at Nintendo at Capcom want to destroy all emulation and modding, and if successful it would do permanent damage to the gaming community.

        Basically if they want to tap into the pc market to reduce the number of "theft" they can and it will probably yield successful. Emulation will still exist albeit with a smaller userbase. Although if interest in emulation dies with that it's still a detriment, kind of like the number of crackers for games decreased significantly.

          >Nintendo made use of yuzu source code illegal
          Actually I am not sure. My understanding is that the settlement only affects the Yuzu devs themselves. They would need to use every single person making a fork, and they wouldn't be able to reach anonymous people and people in many countries.

        I see both as very similar and its noptacable I call them brandgays. Most peopel who use xbox/playstation/pc/16&8bit don't really care but enjoy the games and hardware. Nintendo and apple buyers are buying a ticket to belong to a brand created self image. Both are low intelligence and overcharged. The cancer we see here and on /vr/ from nintendo brandgays is not an accident, or the kind of people qho queue overnight to but a shitty iphone it is the result of marketing that deliberately targets the weak brained narcissists.

          Not really. Apple fans only own apple brand tech because it's an entire ecosystem of TVs, watches, computers, phones all talking to each other. Vast majority of nintendo fans own multiple gaming platforms. They just like Nintendo games. Snoys and PC vegans are more likely to limit and swear oaths to singular brands/platforms.

    There has to be some way to counter-sue these game corporations for shutting down the only methods in which people can still play these games since the corporations are no longer selling or supporting these games and systems anymore anyway. They stand to lose nothing from emulation unless if they continue to support these games and devices. What do they gain from this?

    I think the one problem is that Emulation has gotten too mainstream
    Yeah sure back in the day of the DS, pretty much everybody had a R4. But that required at least a small amount of knowledge where to buy from, how not to get ripped off, required some money, and how to use.
    Emulation is so handholdy now it's just

    Yuzu's biggest mistake was them setting up a patreon, and their developers being so public about it.
    Frankly I'm not surprised emulation developers just running their sites off tor or some country/domain that doesn't take American/Japanese/European legal requests at this point.

              Yes, but this would mean it would not be able to play retail games, and as that was Yuzu's primary purpose (regardless of what the devs state, 'wink wink nudge nudge' doesn't fly legally) it would have no use at all.
