Nintendo fucking sucks as usual but the devs are retards for paywalling bullshit and for almost causing legal precedence against emulation.
At least people forked the code for Yuzu (no idea about Citra).

>>7430
it was just the builds that were paywalled
all the source code was public anyone could build and distribute binaries

Yuzu hardly fucking worked and had so many problems despite making 30k a month from patreon and gorrillions from telemetry

>>7430
thankfully Citra already works with most of the games people care about anyway

>>7430
Looks like there is actually a Citra fork despite that emulator being dead for the past 5 years. Nintendo actually revived it lmao

There's this fork of Citra that is currently active too.

>greedy retards get busted for operating on pisscorp
>user was awarded 50 plastilinian flags for this post
get me out of this clown earth

>>7894
>Offered an agreement
So what, they just paid him off or something? Or did the devs go full retard like Yuzu and do something that could actually get them into trouble?
If it was open sores hopefully some other fags just pick it up and are intelligent enough to not shill their project all over twatter and trannycord. Not that I care personally because there are probably like 5 worthwhile games on the Switch but muh preservation and all that shit.

>intelligent enough to not shill their project all over twatter and trannycord
i think this is the issue more than even nintendo being jerkops.
modern open sores fags are only in it for the glory. which is ironic given what open sores is supposed to mean

lik, of course nintendo is gonna try to shut it down. in yuzus case they even had a p decent reason to do so, with all those retards shilling their patreons everywhere
idk about these fags but seeing how they received 50 palestinian flags for their redditpost, im assuming its a similar issue. you got ppl whose entire identity is based around contributing code to a fucking bingwahoo emulator, so naturally they cant stfu about it if they tried

dont you miss the good ol days when erryone on the internet had that tacit agreement about keeping their fucking mouths shut when doin illegal/legally tenuous activities?

>>7898
>>7899
Yeah I think that's the problem with the modern emulation scene. It used to be a fairly niche thing that only random nerds knew about, but now you have normies on social media and Youtubers spamming shit like "RUNNING THIS LEAKED SWITCH ROM ON THE STEAM DECK BEFORE RELEASE! NINTENDO IS DOOMED!!!" as well as the devs seeking attention and asking for money on Patreon. And then when shit hits the fan everyone starts crying "wtf I thought it was legal" not realising that some group of autistic NEETs isn't realistically going to win a lawsuit against a multi-billion dollar megacorp (BLEEM was somewhat different as that was an actual paid product made by a legitimate business, plus despite winning the case they still went bankrupt because of the court costs).
I'll also say that I miss when emulators had SOVL

>>7900
>wtf I thought it was legal
thats the part thats so mindboggling how they dont get it
it dont matter how legal it is if you cant out-moneyball nintendos lawyers
thats literally what happened to establish emulation as legal in the first place. bleem won, then they had to kys anyways

So apparently Nintendo is suing some website that sells Switch modchips and the owner decided to defend himself in court. Dude is unfathomably based but he's probably also fucked lmao

Also a big leak from Game Freak just happened including source codes for HGSS and BW2, noice

>>7931
LMAO Just checked cuckchan /vp/ and turns out there's a bunch of fucked up lore about people getting raped by pogeyman and shit

>>7932
Some more stuff including some dude fucking a horse lol. It's actually kinda cool in a way though, reminds me a lot of Greek mythology or Japanese folk tales.

>>7933
And some other interesting stuff. Unused pokeymans from Gen 3, Prototype stuff from BW (seems like it was originally going to be 3D) and some pedantic burger censorship.

>man sees an octopus on the beach
>"hmm I think I will fuck that thing"
Kek classic Japan. It's no wonder GF's games are all fucking broken when they're spending their time writing erotic fanfics instead of actually working.

never really liked emulators tbh, when i have a collection of a gorillion roms knowing i can play any of them at any moment it makes me lose interest
really into modding consoles lately, got my xbox and 360 and wii all modded, the 360 was a hueg pain in the dick to get working and that was just to flash the disc drive to play backups and buying a speshul dvd drive to burn the later games but i'm actually playing the games i burn because of how much effort i put into it. really likin lollipop chainsaw and lost odyssey, also have the mgs hd collection so might play that too.

>>7944
Eh I kinda get that. I'm guilty of downloading a fuck ton of roms and then not playing half of them. But it's convenient having everything on one device and buying all the OG hardware + flashcarts/modchips/whatever can be really fucking expensive.
Wii hacking is alright since you can still get one for lik 10 burgerbux and it doesn't require any hardmods. I also have a hacked NES Mini but it's kinda janky tbh.
