sounds great, until you read literally the next sentence:
They run afoul of the law when they bypass encryption, recreate copyrighted programs, or point users to pirated material.
aka you can emulate stuff, just not for anything remotely modern.
How does it bypassing encryption suddenly make it illegal??? That’s like saying you legally own this lockbox and can take it home however if you open it using anything but our official key you are breaking the law.
DMCA says bypassing encryption at all, to copy something, is illegal.
DMCA needs to be repealed.
Because the law says it is, so it’s illegal.

Just because I’m legally not allowed to does not in the slightest mean that I can’t.
Ryujinx did none of that, which is why instead of taking it down, Nintendo just paid off the main developer to take it down.
Yuzu generated keys programatically, which was the issue, and Nintendo took that down directly.
So according to Nintendo’s actions, they think Ryujinx was perfectly legal.
Sure and then paying the dev not to develope it is also legal. Who wouldn’t take it see that free program you are spending time on we well pay you not to do that.
Yes, but that doesn’t set a legal precident for future emulator development.
Or distributing the emulation.
Admits? Was it ever up to them?
The legal proceedings technically were. Nintendo screamed illegal so a bunch of unfunded dev teams got sued into oblivion. Admittance can be from a perspective of guilt too.
Couple of weeks ago I played digimon world 1 on an emulator. After over 20 years of it releasing it runs flawlessly and looks much better than before, to make things even nicer it has been getting unofficial patches with the latest version coming out like a month ago. Games don’t need to die, we can keep them going forever.
How did you like it, btw? I loved the idea as a kid, but was pissed as hell I kept getting Numemon and dying. Didn’t get back into it until Digimon World 3, which was very different gameplay-wise.
I may have just been a particularly dumb kid though, wondering if it’s worth giving another shot.
Man it is fun and the patch/emulator really made it age quite nicely. HOWEVER, I cannot stress this enough, this game was NOT made to be played blind. Like, holy shit I dont think any kid ever beat it by himself.
As a kid I didnt speak english so I didnt know the potty item was used for you digimon to poop, I also didnt know there were toilets around the owrld besides the one in town. Lets just say I got a lot of sukamon. This time I read about the game and as you can probably surmise, I know some english now so it was MUCH easier, managed to get an ultimate digimon first try.
So overall its an easy recommend, just make sure to patch it and use a guide cause fuck figuring out the crazy stuff the game asks of you while your digimon life ticks away!
I will not buy anything Nintendo again.
Fuck Nintendo. I would pay 60 bucks a game to get my entire N64 and NES library back but Nintendo will never make the bulk their older games available.
By the way. that was settled long time ago…
That doesn’t apply to this
Both in conclusion and in jurisdiction
