Sorry, I meant the early leaked copies specifically

That’s awesome, I didn’t know it went that far back

They typically do in my experience

I’m so conflicted

Oh. That is not how it comes off in your original comment

Care to elaborate?

I found one that was still on and running this past week. I doubt it actually worked, but there was nothing indicating that it didn’t

Wait until they hear we have bots doing it all for us

That literally says theory in the title

This isn’t even your instance and you are telling me to leave lmao

I have so many things to be angry at Nintendo for I don’t see the point in complaining about them emulating their own games. Why is Dolphin still around? I played Earthbound legally on my Wii U. I understand you can no longer obtain it, and you should most definitely pirate it, but they have released it again. I’ve pirated all my Nintendo games for years. Fuck 'em. If they want to emulate their own games in their own museum, alright

Then please explain the Dolphin Emulator to me

we’re mad at nintendo precisely because they do not, themselves preserve games.

they also use their ROMs and emulations to sell games to the consumer

Which is it? If they are selling the games they are preserved

I said above they are going after developers. What I said they were not doing was going after an individual for simply playing a game with an emulator

If you are going to rehash an old argument at least take the time to read it

That’s very interesting. I can’t even think of a game worth doing that for. Not trying to say there isn’t, I just don’t have one off the top of my head

This is very educational, thank you. Just out of curiosity, what has Nintendo done with the 64dd? I thought they had forgotten about it

They’ve never sued anyone for playing an emulated game. They have (most likely wrongly) threatened emulator developers over circumventing copyright and encryption. I don’t like it anymore than anybody else, but are we actually mad at a company for preserving their games? You can hate them for what they are doing to others while still being ok with their own emulation

You are right. Sorry for being so snarky. The modding community for the SNES Classic mostly preferred Nintendo’s own emulator, Canoe. I just assumed Nintendo would continue to use it

All we can do is speculate for now. They will never see another dime from me personally. I just don’t see why we are persecuting them for emulation of all things. Be mad they are fucking over other emulator developers, but a company emulating their own games isn’t anything new

Alright. Let me make sure I understand. Since Nintendo protects its IP, it isn’t allowed to use its own IP?

Like, fuck Nintendo, but that doesn’t even make sense

So you have access to the PC in the museum?

They really should have used their own PC OS

They have literally had their own emulators for so long. At least since the SNES Classic released. It is called Canoe
