Hey, Hey GBATemp.
Remember when Nintendo famously lost a lawsuit over what amounted to a cheating device
Hey, Hey GBATemp.
Remember how Game Genies were functionally just cheating devices but for hardware like the NES or Sega Genesis that are no different than today's cheating devices and software?
Yeah... No, this should have been how pretty much every emulator should have be doing things to ensure complete and total legality and it took a lawsuit from a multi-million dollar company for someone to try this.
This would be very cool if it was for an obscure or lesser known console or platform like the Apple Pippin or Commodore Amiga, but alas, it's yet another Nintendo thing.... sigh
You are asking a people on a site that is purely dependent on products made by other multi-million corporations that can be "hackable" to various degrees to go outside and do something that has been done before with many real world lawsuits and calls on the government to change laws.
Watch as whatever this "successor" is, there will be emulation (and arguably softmods) for it that learns absolutely nothing about how to keep thier ass out of Nintendo's Lealease Eye of Sauran like Yuzu did
There's quite the difference between something that came from overseas breaking barriers on the other side and the few times something that was seen as "obscure and niche" actually blew up and became a huge success. That was that they were advertised. Do you really think something from Overseas...
What are you, blind? Shit like this, even if it seems fake does not affect the bottom line or the PR as far as the Public Populace who doesn't spend any amount of time on sites like GBATemp, because outside of the digital newsfronts like Kotaku or TechGadget, which are always desperate for the...
Oh look, actual game preservation that isn't just speading the ROMs of decades old games that have long since been preserved, I sure do hope that this won't be the last one for several months that actually get any decent news beyond Hidden Palace/TCRF and isn't used over the same bunch of ROMs...
and in comes the flood of emulators tying to reach as many eyes to a new demographic, even when the last time they did this, it costed them Yuzu and it's many forks as far as it being allowed to exist outside of self-hosting as far as what the people behind the current day Internet think and the...
The first problem would be that well... None of Nintnedo or even Sony and Microsoft's Consoles (Contrary to popular belief, paying Microsoft $20 for the privilege to "sideload" on what is supposed to be a Developer Mode does not count and has been stated to be against the rules when someone...
I do not want Sega (Or it's Sammy half of the whole company) or any company they contract to touch thier past titles beyond just emulating them for all eternity ala the Non-Sonic Genesis games becuase every single time, they find new ways to fuck it up.
Becuase Nu-Internet Users (pretty much anyone who's been using the internet circa 2010, including a good amount of GBATemp users) simply cannot comprehend the idea that Maybe, Just Maybe you can just not listen and keep hosting under alternate domains anyways. Even the "New Zeland Enjoyers" have...

I found it funny cause many many years ago, had a roommate in college that did this same dumbass branding of the school logo, but it didn't look anything like it after it healed. Just looked like a birthmark.
