I keep saying it, most internet users in this day and age are too fucking stupid and lazy to do anything like that and would rather rely on public modding sites like Gamebananna or mindlessly promoting that for everyone to see on shit like Tik Tok and drawing attention to the lawyers, not to...
The reason this is being treated as a big deal is becuase Nintendo (Of America obviously, why wouldn't be the other regional divisions.) took down another rom site that was beloved. All they're doing is fucking with pirates and the opposition cries crocodile tears and swearing they will never...
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...
