Games

Would you consider posting the SHA256 of the download so future pirates may cross reference with this comment thread? Y'arr.

Hang in there, friend, there any many more Nintendo games coming that we must enjoy through piracy to stick it to Nintendo, don't leave just yet.

I'm sorry to hear that your mental health is shaky at the moment. I hope things get better for you soon, friend.

There are so many things that add up over time. I wouldn’t say I hate them just yet, but I‘be stopped buying their products. The way they go about their business just rubs me the wrong way. If the only way to try to communicate that is disengaging from any of their offerings, be it games or the new switch. Yea, I’m out.

I feel the same. They are really disgusting , greedy and shitty company. I would not spend a single cent on their products.

FWIW you can lawfully play pirated games, so that means nothing.

They could have sold 19 million copies though. Won’t someone think of the billion dollar corporations?

These passages imply the writers of them lack basic computer literacy and don't even understand Nintendo's own systems.

• "copied the game ROMs into Yuzu" Yuzu is not a VM or other container and the ROMs are simply stored on disk in their original dumped form... Yuzu doesn't "store" or "contain" any games.

• "any copy not on an authorized cartridge" LOL! What about games downloaded from your own digital marketplace, then?

What about a game you downloaded from Nintendo eShop and stored on an external SD card, which is a standard and well supported storage method on Switch? Is that SD card an "authorized cartridge"?

Ah corporate Lawyer BS, pointing out what they want to be true and not pointing out the other. ROMs are legal under existing Copywrite laws under archival laws in the USA (117) and backup laws in Canada (29.24). The Americans have a bit more of a restricted way of using their archives, but that's not needs to be argued here, as it appears that Nintendo is blaming Yuzu for actions of the general consumer. It'll be like blaming your Network provider for allowing a user to download a movie, both legally and illegally, thus they should be punished for both actions.

I also love that Nintendo isn't not stating it's illegal here, just that it's infringing because it's not authorized.

Somebody correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't think Yuzu has any proprietary code. Folks have to go to other websites to download the Switch firmware and keys needed to play games.

They don't, they just want legal money drain u til they cave. Nintendo is abusive af.

DMCA § 1201 is the anti-circumvention clause. It makes it illegal to circumvent DRM, no copyrighted content reproduction needed.

Yuzu may have defenses if they clean-room broke the encryption, but it's a fight that will be difficult because the statute itself is unreasonable - essentially outlawing using knowledge to circumvent access controls. To those of us who know about this statute and its history in attempt to lock-down content, it's a serious scumbag move because they may actually win. The statute is terrible and has been since it was enacted in 1998.

They also seem to be asserting a secondary liability argument - i.e., the infringement of users is Yuzu's responsibility because Yuzu allegedly facilitated piracy, or recklessly moved forwarded when it knew or had reason to know it would be used as such. This is harder to prove.

Even if Nintendo doesn't win the suit (but they may win it), they already "won" by filing because this will have a chilling effect on legitimate emulation.

Yuzu may go down, but Nintendo hasn't learned the lessons of the Streisand effect and the hydra effect. The code is open source. 10 more projects will pop up the day after Yuzu goes down (IF it goes down.)

As much as I dislike Nintendo and wish Yuzu devs all the best I'd like to point out that Bowser wasn't some innocent guy who was caught by big bad company - Moonie has a video that goes into specifics about his involvement with a pirate enterprise worth a shitton of money.

Other than that yeah, I hope they can survive this situation. I wonder if Ryujinx devs are next.

"Fuck you, here's a switch port for a Wii U game. It's $15 more expensive than the original release because fuck you that's why."

-Nintendo

Maybe if emulating the game wasn't often better than playing it on the only hardware the game is made for...

Yeah and none of the switch emulator stuff I've seen comes bundled with the firmware. You have to track that down separately or dump your own from your Switch.

This sure looks like like a slapp suit to me.

Brother.. Nintendo's net income last year was 3.1 BILLION dollars. There is no "fighting Nintendo".

Let's be real homie. Yuzu is done. Downvote me all you want after I post this.

As much as we all love Yuzu, the dev's had to have known this was coming.

I don't want to be one of those dudes that keeps harping on the "Nintendo should be FOR preserving old games". We all know Nintendo will continue to kick down ANYONE so much as glancing in their I.P. 's general direction.

Nintendo does what you Nintendon't want. Always.

Extreme capitalism stifles and suffocates innovation and preservation.
