    Emulation for game preservation is fine, these ones getting taken down by Nintendo aren’t doing that. They are promoting piracy, providing the keys to play games, and making a profit.

    Theres ways to go about this legally, advocating piracy, profiting and providing the keys are what’s not legal.

            Your confusing the product and the creators of it.

            They are one and the same. If you knew where to look, they provided means. This is one case that didn’t even make it to discovery before settling, that just tells you how fucked they were and how wrong they did everything.

            What’s wrong with Twitter? You could also just google this and find the information yourself, don’t know why I have to provide what should be common knowledge on this subject. They were not a legal emulator, full stop, sorry.

              They are one and the same. If you knew where to look, they provided means.

              Tools are agnostic to their use. Tools do not have a preference how they are used. Hammers that are used are agnostic to if they are hammering a nail into a wall or caving in a skull. Yuzu would work exactly the same if you dumped your own carts. Same for emulators for Genesis and Atari 2600 and PlayStation.

              What’s wrong with Twitter? You could also just google this and find the information yourself, don’t know why I have to provide what should be common knowledge on this subject.

              If you make a claim, you need to provide the evidence. That’s how these things work. You say a claim, you give us the proof. And I can say on Twitter “Yuzu was 100000% legal and Nintendo actually is the real illegal operation”. Now that’s a valid source too, right?

              They were not a legal emulator, full stop, sorry.

              Sorry but that biggest technology legal experts and defenders of the little guys who get sued by the big companies you polish the boots with your tongue strongly prove you wrong.

                Uhhh they didn’t reverse engineer the key they used, that’s the entire stickler here……

                And the Twitter thread had the sources, so why are you saying the onus is on me? I provided it, even though it should be common knowledge.

                Queues arguement doesn’t work since they didn’t reverse engineer their key….

                I’m not defending Nintendo, I am providing information on the subject, it just unfortunately only looks bad for one side here. I even said legal emulation has its place…. So how am I “shill” and “defending” Nintendo? Because I proved you are fucking wrong? Lmfao. Why is THAT always the comeback in this scenarios?

                    The emulator is illegal, since they didnt make their own key, queues argument at the very bottom is about its legal when you do xyz, which yuzu never did.

                    I’m sorry the facts don’t align with your bias here and your only recourse is to insult me.
