It's the predictable result of releasing consoles two generations behind. We don't lose our rights because a Japanese company is incompetent.
You are entitled to play their games without paying for them or the hardware they were designed to run on because said hardware is too under powered to your liking?

For stopping people from illegally pirating their games?
Enforce copyright, go after rom sites, etc. I still don't like it, but it's legitimate for them to do. Going after emulators is just lawfare against people without money.

When Sony sued Bleem, the judge issued a protective injunction to "protect David from Goliath", and they still went out of business.

You know damn well that emulators are used for piracy 99% of the time, no matter what mental gymnastics you try to employ.

Stop the cap

You're misunderstanding the argument. It doesn't matter if emulators are used for copyright infringement 99% of the time. Emulators are not copyright infringement. Emulators don't facilitate copyright infringement. Yuzu developers don't distribute anything owned by Nintendo. They ought to be totally above board distributing those key files too, but they've been extra cautious.

Seeing these Nintendo retards celebrate is pissing me off 😡 but seeing PCMR chuds cry is making me laugh 😂 Two equally awful fan bases, I’m a bit torn.

Oh well, this doesn’t really change anything, Ryujinx is still alive and well 😁

Nintendo has every right to protect their copyright and IP from PC pirates.

I really hope the law is reformed to outright ban emulators so you pirates can stop using this flimsy argument.

Just get a job and buy the games like an adult.

This would implicate all forms of emulation, including by Apple, VMWare, Microsoft, Google, etc. It would also be a regressive precedent against other forms of reverse engineering like proprietary file formats.

The positions you're taking are pure corporate apologia, which is fucking shameful. There's no case for it as a regular person.

You are not some anti corporatist freedom fighter, you are just using really flimsy excuses to justify piracy now.

even if i was, it would be more pro human than what you're doing.

let's not forget that Nintendo is currently taking 25% of a man's income for the rest of his life because he designed and sold modchips. I'm totally against this, and you want more of it.

my question is do you consider it piracy if you buy the game digitally on the 3DS eShop and use an emulator to capture footage from the game? I bought Resident Evil Mercenaries 3D on the 3DS eShop back in 2015 but had to use the citra emulator in 2022 to capture footage from it as buying a modded 3DS for capture purposes was kinda pricy especially for just a little bit of footage.
Also would emulating a game that is no longer sold considered piracy to you guys? I really want to try Metal gear Solid Twin Snake's but the price tag for a used copy on it is pretty pricy and doesn't even give any money to the creator's. I probably won't have any time to play Twin Snakes anyway now since I'm kinda busy on FF7 Rebirth

Regardless of what anyone here says is 'fine' or 'they would do' or 'is legal', Nintendo doesn't want you doing any of this and fights against it by all means. Before 2018 they were also hostile toward any streaming of their games:
