Now that yuzu is gone they're going to be rolling in theoretical money.

Of course it's selfish bullshit with these assholes... They could try to buy one of these programs, or hire the devs so maybe they could (checks notes) offer games to PC players that pirate them because we refuse to buy multiple hundred dollar consoles for one goddamn game.

But why do that? You could just get a one time payment and then do it all again when the next emulator comes along... Assholes

Well, I think I now need to dowload this.

You can't officially download it anymore. ~~If you're familiar with compiling things, there are backup forks everywhere, though.~~ A lovely Lemming posted an archive.org link to download the last builds in other comments here.

The GitHub repo (source code) for Yuzu now returns 404. It used to be here: https://github.com/yuzu-emu/yuzu

I'm really on the fence now on buying a console in the future. I've always bought the latest iteration and multiple games from Nintendo.

But they are turning into some lawyered slimy multi billion corporation feeding the orphan crushing machine.

If they don't operate with ethics, then neither should I.

turning into

Just FYI, Nintendo has always behaved this way. You can find stories about Nintendo suing and shutting down rom distributors for as long as roms have existed. They've also completely shut down several fan-made Pokémon games and tried going after rom hackers. They've also had a very long history of keeping their IPs completely exclusive to their platform and of reselling the same game on multiple platforms instead of allowing for backwards compatibility.

That's wild. But I guess I'm not surprised since the emulator was really good and the system is still out there selling

It's not like they aren't making money off of their games

Are nintendo roms pretty much always going to be publicly preserved and seeded?

[–] [email protected] 8 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Yes. And quite possibly even harder just out of spite.
