    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.

    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.

      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.

      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.

      Just because I’m legally not allowed to does not in the slightest mean that I can’t.

    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.
