I don’t even understand how this would be illegal. How is copyright being violated here? You aren’t supposed to be able to file a frivolous DMCA.
You will run the games on our extremely specific hardware using our proprietary software environment and you will like it!
The device in the thumbnail is the Ayaneo Flip DS, for anyone else wondering. From a quick search, it runs Windows and is stupid expensive.
These assholes can’t seem to grasp that emulation is the only reason their old games are still popular.
Particularly with the modding scene. You can’t exactly do a randomiser with the cartridge.
But they don’t care, do they ? It’s better for them if you stop playing the old game and buy the 1234th remake of Mario at full price on Switch
They don’t do that. They have re-releases that are available for purchase for a month before they’re gone, and then they rent you the old emulated games forever, on worse emulators, with no option to buy them.
Retro Game Corps is the targeted channel in this video. He doesn’t focus on piracy of games at all. Mostly he does reviews of hardware and has some high effort videos.
Yep, no endorsement of piracy whatsoever. Just showing how to set up emus.
Is Nintendo trying to get people to not buy their games?
They want to run their fanbase away, yes
It’s working, my desire to buy nintendo games is going down with every piece of news that comes out about them
Copying Nintendo games isn’t only ethical; it’s a moral obligation.
Fuck Nintendo. I refuse to buy any of their games anymore. If its something I want to play, I will pirate instead.
Emulation is the only reason I still talk about or recommend Nintendo games
Never give Nintendo money.
Man, I know that clamshell Ayaneo is too expensive and that form factor isn’t as good as I think it is… but I still really want one.
Oh, hey, is that you, Barbra?
I would say the answer to avoid any of this would be to use homebrew games but I don’t know if ones for harder systems to emulate (GameCube, PS2, etc) would be great for testing handheld emulators
This is not even remotely new.
