Won't you think of the children, I mean the poor companies.
yuzu will pay $2.4 million in damages to Nintendo to settle their lawsuit
- Thread starter John Elden Ring
- Start date
completely incoherent ideas and unsubstantiated legal assertions which contradict actual case law.
btw, do you think Nintendo WOULDNT sue an emulator which somehow enforced legal ROM dumps? of course they would. that's not the point at all.
How do you enforce that? PS emulators require a BIOS file you're supposed to get off of your own console but none of them require game verification.
Serious question. This topic's interesting.
@flaccidsnake
Page the mods because something's about to happen. We agree on a topic? One of the signs of the apocalypse.
I don't know.
That is for Yuzu to research and do.
For example Bleem was a legal emulator.
It required the user to insert a legal copy of the game to play it.
It is not incoherent.
It is what separates legal from illegal imo.
And I don't think dump ROM should be allowed because it can be shared, sold, etc... it become illegal.
You need to have the actual copy of the game to play it via emulator and not a ROM dump.
Yuzu is illegal imo.
for a start it's incoherent because there's no way to do what you're asserting is the legal standard to do. does Apple's Rosetta emulator check the copyright legitimacy of every binary it runs? it's a joke to suggest it.
and AGAIN: Nintendo would still sue an emulator that attempted to be "legal" by your definition because THEY OPPOSE EMULATION

The github and official page have all been taken down and ae offline...
that was fast
that was fast
grab that source code folks. and once again fuck nintendo.
I mean Rosetta is like Nintendo releasing on PC it own emulator to Switch.
What is illegal about that? lol
Rosetta do translate old Mac instructions to new Mac instructions.
A game emulator can be legal if it forces the users only to use the legal copy of a game... like inserting the disc/card on your PC to check if it is a legal copy.
If not it is illegal imo.

See how he admits they doing illegal thingsCitra is being shutdown as well
Again the only way to a game emulator be legal is if it can find a way to make sure the users is using a legal copy of the game (not a ROM dump).
I'm not against emulation but the projects needs to work hard to be in the right path.
How about Nintendo not asking for hardware that anemic so that it can be emulated really fast. Works well for Sony and MS.
One last take btw...
"I'm creating a emulator to play legal copies of games"
"I'm hacking this console to use homebrew"
ALL BULLSHIT.
People do emulator to play games without pay for it.
People do hacks to play games without pay for it.
Because I never saw a hack or emulator that doesn't allow to play pirated games

How can they say it was yuzus fault for leaks of games like no those games were 'leaked' because someone got a physical copy early the ripped the game & uploaded it , that's the retailers faultCitra is being shutdown as well
welp, glad I updated in time
I own all the games i emulate
oh and pinEApple still lives apparently
Oh no! You won't be able to "preserve" a game that just came in 2023 and 2024. What if they stop selling Mario next week
People keep trying to use this legal loophole to justify piracy
