Emulators are bad, remember. Until they're useful, of course.
You're viewing a single thread.
LMAO. Fuck Nintendo and the "do as I say not as I do" BS.
76 2 ReplyEmulation is perfectly legal if you own the game.
26 1 ReplyAnd yet Nintendo files bogus copyright claims against emulators.
32 4 ReplyThey're not bogus. The emulator that shut down were selling a product using a proprietary encryption key owned by Nintendo.
That's why Dolphin still exists.
15 14 ReplyProprietary encryption key
What if the key was in a book? It would have to be protected by free-speech, which makes it uncensorable.
What if the key contents were used as hex values to make a flag? Would you censor a flag too?
No such thing as "proprietary encryption keys" exist.
1 0 ReplyI disagree. Sure, companies have a moral right to recoup their R&D costs on a console, but I fully reject the Divine Right of Shareholders. As long as the emulators aren't sold for profit and no one is hurt, a multibillion dollar company like Nintendo has zero moral ground to tell us that we cannot emulate consoles that we have bought to play games that we also bought.
