How do you run something on other hardware without emulation?

I don’t know. A lot of games seem to run fine on my PC.

Exploding toilets? I’m there!!

There were some very elaborate copy-protection schemes. Like, “go to page 12 in the manual and enter the word at the bottom of the page”. Of course, people could just share what the word was, so some games did stuff like having a fucking codewheel in the manual, instead. So you had to take the code the game gave you, turn the wheel to the correct spot, and then enter the result the wheel gave you.

Same experience. Having a dungeon you can explore makes the game so much better.

I assume emulator development will continue eventually. Who knows when that will be, though.

The thing that sucks is that I’m in the middle of a couple of games, so if something upgrades and Ryujinx isn’t compatible, I’m hosed.

Anything that releases in the last year or two of the Switch’s life is now at risk of being lost forever into Nintendo’s archives.

Somebody will archive it, for two reasons: 1) data hoarders and 2) hacked Switches.

This is the first time they’ve been suing emulator developers.

I don’t even understand how this would be illegal. How is copyright being violated here? You aren’t supposed to be able to file a frivolous DMCA.

Copying Nintendo games isn’t only ethical; it’s a moral obligation.

“The legendary Flappy Bird is back and will fly higher than ever on Solana as it soars into Web 3.0 … Flappy Bird will now be the world’s first open-source, community owned web2 and web3 game … Build, create, play and stake to own,” the landing text reads.

It’s…Flappy…Bird. WTF are they on about?! The game is already one step below Pac-Man. This is like trying to monetize Pong.

As long as it’s a mod and not a full game, it should be fine. Typically these are distributed as patch files that don’t contain any Nintendo assets and you have to provide your own ROM and patch it yourself.

Where people get in trouble is when they try to make a full game (as opposed to a mod), like that Metroid game that was shut down awhile back.

Oh, good. I was worried that nobody was going to pick up Citra since it seemed like Yuzu was getting all of the attention.

Two, actually, but the second was collateral damage since the same devs were working on it. (Yuzu and Citra.)

Probably because they’re emulating old systems that Nintendo doesn’t care about anymore.

The Monopoly name is enough to do that for me.

So, this game is a cross between Monopoly and Go?
