I'm sorry but how is using the actual keys from a legally purchased system circumventing anything? It's like saying using the actual key to your own front door counts as breaking and entering.

Wow. Fuck Nintendo. I own 2 switches and ToTK. Of course I emulate it, so I don't have to play at 20fps. And I can mod the game. Not buying another nintendo product again. I'm done. I'll just pirate it since it seems I don't own it anyways. Can't play it where I want, how I want, so why play by the rules at all.

The fuck? Why? Emulators are entirely legal and they could've won

I own a launch era Switch. When I run Yuzu, I use the keys that I pulled off of it. When I play games in Yuzu, they are games I have purchased and dumped using the Switch Nintendo sold me. The controller I use is a Nintendo Pro controller. I play on my computer because it is MUCH better at playing Switch games than my overclocked Switch is. Just fuck off with this Nintendo, stop making your games worse.

Let this be a lesson: if you try to forcibly pry open the gates of DRM hell and let software be free, you best let it be truly free and only money off it from the donations of your supporters. Don't be like yuzu and monetize the living hell out of your emulator. Don't stuff it with telemetry, don't hide releases behind a patreon paywall.

That all being said, fuck Nintendo.

I started out in the computer industry working for a company that reverse engineered and built IBM compatible terminal systems, This was more than 40 years ago, when that was its own large and profitable sector of the computer hardware market. It was absolutely legal to build 'plug compatible' reverse engineered third party systems. DRM is almost entirely horseshit that has helped turn the entire tech industry into silo'd enshittified monopolies.

Fuck DRM though, all my homies hate DRM.

Here is the latest stable build of Yuzu that I've got from 24 hours ago for anyone who wasn't able to download it in time.

Can't blame them but at the same time, yeah kind of sad they folded as easily as a Nintendo DS.

I will say Nintendo can count on me, a older game with disposable income and kids, not buying a switch 2 with they way they've been acting with all of their lawsuit and anti-consumer practices.

Money is a weapon in western society. You can't win just because you're right

I can load a pirated copy onto a modded console, does that mean that Nintendo is liable for their software being used for piracy?

Nintendo got them alone in a dark room and told them that if they don't settle, admit and pay something they might be able to pay off in their lifetimes (Nintendo doesn't care about the money, 2.4 million is nothing to them), Nintendo would tie them up in legal battles for years, still making them broke and probably blocking them from doing something new.

Or something.

Fucking corporate shills. Why can't we just all have fun gaming. Piracy increases sales.

I was thinking of buying a few Nintendo games to use on an emulator but that's a lot of effort and there are other good games out there. Glad I didn't so I wouldn't feel shame for giving them more money. Nintendo Direct my balls into your mouth.

Nintendo can count on its games being pirated even more now. Good for me that I never touched a nintendo in my life.

Yup, I don't think I'm buying any Nintendo products anytime soon

Fuck Nintendo and their mafia-like bully tactics.

For those looking for the latest Yuzu and Citra releases: Yuzu Win/Linux Early Access, Yuzu Android, Citra Win/Mac/Linux/Android.

Ryujinx lives on, thankfully, for the moment.

Fuck nintendo .

Man... in a better world Nintendo wouldn't have a case because liberating encryption keys is the basis for interoperability, which is good for, you know, competition. Competition is good. Or so I've heard.

Nintendo may be right here, but I'm still not buying their new console or any new games of theirs.
