hot take of the day

the 'denuvo switch' thing is overblown as fuck. it's almost a non-issue in practice

it's not denuvo. it's not the same thing as pc denuvo. it's anti-emulator protection, made by denuvo. it figures out if you're using an emulator and prevents you from running the game, that's it. nintendo isn't even involved, this is a third party solution. it's worth noting they make very clear in their own press release that this is intended for multiplatform games that're protected by denuvo on pc that'd just get their switch version emulated.

the truncated thread title on the frontpage is wildly inaccurate, again it's not 'denuvo on switch'
i understand to make it accurate would be a bit lengthy, and it wouldn't get your average nintendo hateclicks, so it won't change. sucks but it is what it is

on a more positive note, you know what though? it will get cracked on whatever titles it shows up on. nintendo homebrewers / emulation developers are incredibly on top of things.
and you know what this shit does? basically pinpoints emulator inaccuracies. so that means not only will it probably be easily cracked, but that emulation is gonna become more accurate to the console because of it.
fuck, that's pretty funny tbh, denuvo helping piracy. lmfao

honestly I bet sega paid them to do this for sonic frontiers or something. sega fucking loves denuvo.

i'd expect an absolutely tiny number of games to actually use it tbh

    @K3Nv2, Exactly. Take note of the Switch, for example. Its underpowered compared to how older tech was capable of doing just about anything.

    @K3Nv2, Not gonna lie, about half of its game library was shovelware like its counterpart, the Wii.
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @SylverReZ, and the other half were just 1st party games

    @Xdqwerty, The Wii U was essentially an early Switch, before the Switch was a thing.
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    They already had the technology but the price to performance wasn't there

    Older systems I love some of the games but without filters and enhanced graphics they are difficult to enjoy

  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    I think my favorite PS1 enhancement is sub pixel precision, helps get rid of some of those wobbly polygons lol

  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @Psionic Roshambo, By default, the polygons are filtered with differing to simulate depth, which doesn't make them clearer.

    There are ways to disable this by creating cheat codes, but this requires knowledge of the PS1 hardware.
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
