The official Nintendo Museum appears to be emulating SNES games on a Windows PC, which is slightly embarrassing (www.pcgamer.com)

I won't be buying a Switch 2 and if I can't pirate Nintendos games I won't play them. I refuse to reward them for their bad behavior. Like a little child who throws tantrums they belong in the time out area.

Anyway, what's the point of a museum of a console maker without showing original hardware?

I can see Nintendo shutting down his own museum for piratery.

The emulator they use for N64 on the Switch is also just one of the many options that com up when you Google "We can't be arsed reviewing our own assembler"

Nintendo: Emulation is illegal, criminal, and you should never ever do it. If you do, we will sue your ass, send the Pinks, and then shit fury on you!!!

Also Nintendo:

Needless to say, I will not be buying an alarm clock today.

I would not be at all surprised if the Switch NES and SNES emulators are running an open source emulator that they've tried to shut down.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 day ago (2 children)

I would. They would have been found out already if it were the case, and they already proved they can develop their own emulators.

[–] [email protected] 22 points 1 day ago (1 children)

They've been caught using ROMs downloaded from some ROMs download website, so it wouldn't be that surprising.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 day ago (1 children)

No they have not. If they dumped their own cartridge or had the ROM somewhere in their archives, it would be identical to one downloaded from the Internet. The whole controversy happened because someone saw the iNES headers in whatever release of Super Mario Bros was new at the time. Those headers are added by all NES cartridge dumpers, and the creator of this format developed the NES emulator used by Nintendo in Animal Crossing for the GameCube.
