Emulation does not have to equal piracy, but if we keep things going exactly how they are, we might not have emulation for much longer…

  1. I'm surprised Nintendo hasn't learned what the MPAA and the RIAA learned about movies and music: make it easy for us to commercially get the content we want and piracy largely goes away. The entire reason game piracy even exists is become console manufacturers want to restrict where you can run the games. Sony learned this lesson multiple times starting with Bleem.
    Their answer was to just double down on security for their consoles and now with the ps5 jailbreak soon to Happen: i wouldn't be surprised if a ps5 emulator is on thw horizon.

    Let us play our games on alternative formats. Of you want DRM, whatever. But come up with an industry standard drm that won't be specific to switch or thw ps5.

  2. I figured this to be a video on the lawsuit itself, but was happy to see you talking about dumping your roms. Just a couple months ago I dumped my Gameboy and DS games with a Joey Jr. and a hacked DSi to preserve them! I am working on the Wii next. I am interested in those videos you talk about. It will be interesting to see what the future brings for our right to preservation. I am also curious what the future of the Switch hackability will be!

  3. With out Nintendo making old Pokemon games available on official hardware and what is available only works with an internet connection and subscription service I don't remember that catch on my Gameboy what other option is there then to try and find a program to play the games on unless you're willing to pay 10 times or more than the retail cost for an experience that Nintendo doesn't profit off the second time the game is sold anyway

  4. In Germany you where allowed to download anything you are a legitimate owner of. So there's no need for all the ripping annoyances. I am not sure, though, if this still is the case, because national laws are being replaced by the laws of the EU which we never wanted or had choice to deny.

  5. I remember going to the library downloading the CD I rented out to my ipod and then I could use it whenever. I miss video stores too 🙁 going out to rent a game play it for hours then return it, saving myself a lot of money having to buy games that i technically dont even own.

  6. Consoles should have disc burners or cart writers in them. Whenever you buy a game you should be able to make a backup copy.

    Maybe to prevent rampant copying, those backups should be keyed to your Nintendo/Sony/Microsoft account, so they'll only work on a console where you are signed in.

  7. Plenty of arcade boxes along with handheld devices come preloaded with hundreds if not thousands of roms sold freely over the internet without any kickback on legality issues. Those gaining profit for emulation shouldn’t be allowed vs that dad who wants to play bonanza bros from Sega. Distributors is the real problem, not the gamers.

  8. Nintendo would rather you do one of the four things:

    -Be born and have the money before the game came out so you can purchase.
    -build an time machine.
    -Buy it at %200+ time the original MSRP price from third party seller or buy it from them at full price (no matter how old the game is)
    -STBY & cry.

  9. A) I see no difference in getting your archive copy from a convoluted process requiring a ton of hardware and software knowledge and just hitting download. Bits don't care.
    B) not buying commercially available software and downloading it for free is wrong. But if the companies won't sell it, and the only versions are from eBay sellers where nothing goes back to the rights holder, then fine. At this point the pirates care more about preserving games than they do. And in some cases the companies no longer exist, or rights can't be tracked down/established, etc.

    In the end your DMCA was written last century by movie and record companies, for movie and record companies. Not for you. Not for all of us living outside the US but on an internet still sadly too focused on the US and US "law".

  10. You can use an sd card over 32 gb on a Wii. It just has to be fat 32. I’ve used a 512 gb sd card and a 2tb hard drive before. Files cannot be over 4gb unless they are split. Large games need splitting.

  11. ever since nintendo took yuzu and citra down, I have made a personal decision to boycott the company, i will NOT buy a single game or console from them ever again.. I really don't like gaming anymore anyways as literally all of the companies except for indies are total trash (while I do give credit for nintendo for making the games properly but that's all)

  12. There is no computer game company…. Difference between computer and Nintendo console? Nothing it's a computer.. Nintendo wastes so much money on this bullshit instead of making better games

  13. I think when a console is no longer supported. Then the companies should send out one final update that allows you to make a raw backup of the disk that you legally own
