I own a Nintendo, and I haven’t used it in years. I bought some games which were ridiculously priced compared to what I was used to on steam. I’m rather annoyed they keep their games console exclusive for this reason, they have like a monopoly of a market they control, it feels.
I was gonna get some more games to put on it, but with then shutting down these emulators, I think I’ll use one of those instead. Fuck Nintendo.
Fuck Nintendo. All they have done is ensure I never buy one of their products again.
And then nobody ever made another emulator for Nintendo products again and this definitely does not foreshadow an endless game of whack-a-mole powered by spite.
Surely not.
‘offered an agreement’
So bribed them?
Probably more of a “Do x, y, and z and we agree not to sue you about it”
They sent people to his house
I’m Brazil
motherfucker had goons sicced on him
I’m Brazil
hi Brazil, I’m Dad!
What do they think they achieve with this?
What kinda question is that? Mobbing the developers out of switch emulation.
The only two options where you and ryujinx and they are both taken out, all the forks are jokes because the developers that had real abilities worked on the main projects.
Forcing people to purchase the Switch 2 for their handheld needs, obviously </sarcasm>
@nichtburningturtle @mr_MADAFAKA not sure, there’s already like 500 forks up, may the one with the coolest name win.
it’s in the repo for basically any linux distribution too so the source and executables are mirrored on literally thousands of servers and easily downloadable, so absolute worst case scenario it’s version froze at 1.1.1388 for the time being.
all that happened to yuzu is a slight name change so i don’t expect much more here.
@nichtburningturtle @mr_MADAFAKA confirmed, the full git history up to yesterday is preserved and already mirrored all over, so it’s all good 👍
How about a link to it instead of a discord screenshot jfc
It’s the Ryujinx discord. You’re looking at a primary source. You linked a secondary source.
@mr_MADAFAKA ah, modern day Nintendo… you never cease to disappoint not only me but the entire emulation community.
@mrmasterkeyboard @mr_MADAFAKA hopefully “offered an agreement” means “giant paycheck" and not “cease and desist order”.
@DigitalKrampus @mr_MADAFAKA Honestly, it pisses me off.
The creator shouldn’t have taken it as they just profited off other devs work to avoid an inevitable takedown.
If they didn’t take it, it would still disappear just without fucking the devs over for money.
I think it’s unfair to take away what the devs have worked hard on for money without anything in return to them.
It’s just my opinion and morality though, so please feel free to tell me if I’m wrong here! :D
It sounds a lot more like the “offer” was to take the work down without being sued for every last penny he has.
@merthyr1831 Doesn’t it first start as a DMCA and if the creator chooses to fight it, it could potentially reach a lawsuit? I thought that was how it works?
@mr_MADAFAKA “offered”.
For a given definition of “offer”, I suppose.
