Yeah, fighting open source emulators is kind of like fighting a hydra. People will fork the project and one of those will probably emerge as the alternative to Ryujinx. At the same time Nintendo did manage to get an entire team of developers to exit the Switch emulation scene under penalty of breaching the settlement. It's not going to kill Switch emulation, but they did manage to take down one of the most popular ones.

And even their worst accusations are 'It cost five percent of our biggest game's revenue! It was only a record-breaking success!'

How do I hack the shit out of my oled switch

[–] [email protected] 4 points 8 months ago

Get a hammer and smash the fuck out of it.

With a cleaver and buy a steam deck instead

I wish, my pc is no longer capable of running games and I still need it for utilities and such (porn). The switch was a gift but I would probably have bought one anyway to be honest, but now I see the light

You're allowed a pc and a steam deck. There's no law against both.

Maybe I dont know how a steam deck works lol I am woefully illiterate when it comes to some tech things. My understanding was that a steam deck still needed a pc to be streaming games from to some extent, is that not the case?

You might be thinking of the Steam Link

[–] [email protected] 6 points 8 months ago (1 children)

That is not the case. It's a standalone device that you can play pc games on. It is very similar to the switch in design, but able to play a whole lot more. You should definitely look into it.

I think you're thinking of the Steam Link.

The Steam Deck can stream games from your PC, but it is a perfectly capable standalone gaming device.

Tbh, is it really pirating if I bought the game and wanted to play it on a different unofficial platform?

I understand the main thing was Yuzu was apparently offering builds that work with unreleased games (which how tf does that work) via Patreon, but if the game’s been released and I bought it, I don’t see why I shouldn’t be able to download a ROM or even dump my own and play it on an emulator that offers better performance.

The formal answer - it is against the law and the terms and conditions of their released software. The moral answer - no problem.

Leaks and breaking release date is how it works.
