Nintendo competing to get the most evil corporation award from activision.

[-] lorty@lemmy.ml 44 points 8 months ago

They'll release a new Mario game and everyone will forget

[-] moody@lemmings.world 33 points 8 months ago

You mean they'll re-release a 30 year old game and charge the same price as a brand new game?

[-] deus@lemmy.world 22 points 8 months ago

Nah, their games are amazing, credit where credit is due. The problem with Nintendo is everything else.

[-] moody@lemmings.world 18 points 8 months ago

I'm not saying their games are bad. I'm just suggesting Mario 64 is due for another re-release at full price.

[-] WalrusDragonOnABike@reddthat.com 3 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago)

Its only been 3 years since they re-released it (bundled with two other games). Wasn't that like a 17 year gap from the last time they released Mario 64 and skipping two generations? If so, next time should be late Switch 3 or Switch 4 and it'll also include 3D world and Odyssey for full price. And given 3D all-stars was $15 cheaper than the original Mario 64, inflation adjusted, would the next be half the price?

Those loyal fans love sucking off Nintendo and defending every decision they make even when it fucks them in the ass in the long run.

Anyone know the source for this ?

[-] airportline@lemmy.ml 4 points 8 months ago
[-] JoeKrogan@lemmy.world 2 points 8 months ago

Thanks. I dont know if I have the time for 1000 episodes though 😅

[-] airportline@lemmy.ml 2 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago)

Don't go to OnePace Dot Net. It is an abridged version of One Piece with the same pacing as the manga, but its distribution is illegal due to copyright.

[-] taanegl@lemmy.world 68 points 8 months ago

Introducing Uzuy, with torrent based updating. Eat shit, Nintendo.

[-] optissima@lemmy.world 8 points 8 months ago

If BEP46 is implemented, yes please.

[-] mp3@lemmy.ca 63 points 8 months ago

At least the code is open source..

[-] newthrowaway20@lemmy.world 47 points 8 months ago

I downloaded the repository as soon as I saw the lawsuit. Dunno what to do with it, but it's there lol.

[-] Cypher@lemmy.world 26 points 8 months ago

It sure would be a shame if someone put the source code up on a popular torrenting site and flipped off Nintendo…

Lots of optimism for Yuzu living on in some fork of the code, but I don't expect it will be that simple. Qualified new devs will not be likely to invest anywhere near the time and energy the original devs have. If they're smart, they'll avoid taking direct donations, which means the project will at best be a side hobby. Switch emulation will become a lot harder to document if development fragments into smaller forks. Not sure if a game is compatible or what settings to use? Maybe you'll find some recommended settings for Yuzu Fork A, but not Fork G you set up because it has better compatibility with another game you were interested in. Information is going to be confusing, inaccurate, and inconsistent as the scene goes underground. Links and other sources won't be as trustworthy or safe. What was once a fun and easy way to play games will become a risk and a chore. I'm glad there are immediate efforts to get the project back online, but I can't see this settlement as anything less than a massive blow to emulation and game preservation as a whole. Decades of legal precedent that developers have relied on to safely do their work is being thrown out. Things are objectively worse now than they were before. We are already exiting the golden age of emulation.

[-] lowleveldata@programming.dev 21 points 8 months ago

All those people act like an emulator is easy work. It's more like a full time job.

[-] optissima@lemmy.world 4 points 8 months ago

Maybe they should start a patreon

[-] thatKamGuy@sh.itjust.works 4 points 8 months ago

Switch emulation is not going anywhere, and will likely continue to be built off the foundations laid by Yuzu.

The biggest takeaway from this is I imagine Nintendo had the devs dead to rights on promoting piracy directly, rather than focusing on only communicating how to play legitimate back-ups only.

So going forward any smart dev-team would make sure to wait for a game to launch before producing an updated version to support it, as well as being vigilant that all communication through official channels avoids any discussion that enables piracy or directly links to a secondary source that does so.

[-] Gabu@lemmy.ml 3 points 8 months ago

Seems to me you weren't around for the days of DS emulation.

Look forward to them using the code in their new product and not giving two shits about the oss license. Again.

Anyone know what nostalgia resale era they're into? N64 I would guess.. gotta make sure everything sells for $70 or more for all time.

[-] graymess@lemmy.world 4 points 8 months ago

Nintendo is past their era of selling the same games to you over and over. Now their old games are subscription based, so you can never stop paying them and never own your childhood classics.

Decentralised software publishing and updates when

[-] haywire7@lemmy.world 26 points 8 months ago

Nintendo being Nintendo. They've killed websites, device vendors, projects and more. Otherwise Liksang and Bung would still be around. They take the same destroyer of worlds tactic to any meetings. Crush the opposition, no survivors.

This time I think the internet may surprise them, unless they just get a blanket order on anyone hosting copies of the code or related materiels.

[-] eco_game@discuss.tchncs.de 24 points 8 months ago

Looks like it might be coming back as suyu

[-] graymess@lemmy.world 15 points 8 months ago

Just one of many "forks" we'll see pop up over the next few months. Maybe this one has actual developers involved and isn't just a repo, but it's too be seen. Funny name, though.

[-] mac@infosec.pub 5 points 8 months ago

For clarification they've updated the repository to suyu-emu/suyu.

[-] ElectroLisa@lemmy.blahaj.zone 4 points 8 months ago

I love the name lol

[-] LeLachs@lemmy.ml 24 points 8 months ago

(Obv. not legal advice) Step 1: Create non profit for "supporting emulation" Step 2: Use non profit to support devs by helping them create llc's for their emulators (cause no liability on the persons) Step 4: Whenever nintendo sues (and maybe wins), help them regroup under a new llc Step 5: whatch them play whack-a-mole

[-] Gestrid@lemmy.ca 5 points 8 months ago

Step 6: (non-)profit.

[-] GluWu@lemm.ee 19 points 8 months ago

Git forked, newb

Fuck you Nintendo you absolute cunts. Won't ever get another penny from me

[-] samus12345@lemmy.world 4 points 8 months ago

Fo' shuzu, my nuzu.

[-] Grass@sh.itjust.works 3 points 8 months ago

If I was able to continue dev on an emulator I would totally name it like that. Or 2 YU 2 ZU and just at 2's to the split pieces on the logo.

[-] atmur@lemmy.world 7 points 8 months ago

“2 ZU 4 YU”
