the truth is they've consulted their lawyers and took the deal.

i doubt you have qualification required to decide if there is a point. me neither.
if you want to help, send them some moneyz, they have a 2.4 millions debt now.

Quote from: George on March 04, 2024, 23:28:06would ether possess the skills to modify their hardware

v1 switches are very easy to jailbreak, no special skills required. but battery life is meh. v2 and oled require microsoldering skills, but you can pay someone 50 bucks or so to do it for you.

people sometimes use emu not because they are pirating, but because emu allows to play at higher framerates and higher resolution. so they actually own the game and want a better experience.
but that's minority of course, most are just pirates.

Likely buried in the fine print of whatever ULA for each game, the Switch itself or Nintendo Online is Nintendo's ownership(s).

The idea of being able to play Switch games on other devices appears to be interesting enough to attract people to code for the effort. The owner of the game cartridges would need to modify their switch to be able to extract the information and once extracted might then possibly be able to 'loose' one device (the Switch) while out and about as they could then play the games on another device (like their Cell phone or tablet).

Frankly I don't think there are enough 'interesting Switch Only' titles to be worth the effort. Add in the fact that VERY FEW of the 'target audience' (Switch owners) would ether possess the skills to modify their hardware OR even if they were able to, actually modify their OWN devices.

IMHO: the overwhelming majority would simply 'google' game ROM's on the net while justifying it (or not!) that they own (or COULD own!) a physical ROM and could/might of modified their own Switch to harvest the game anyway.

Quote from: Anil Ganti on March 04, 2024, 21:21:40Yuzu always asked users bring over their prod.keys from a modded console. You can't blame Yuzu if people downloaded them off shady websites.

i've read nintendo's docs back then
keys are nintendo's property, they can not be acquired in any way other than malicious.
yuzu was giving instructions on how to get keys and had links to some shady websites.
yuzu was earning money by providing services based on usage of nintendo property.
something like this. google up nintendo's claims, it's publicly available.

QuoteThe proposed settlement, published today, stipulates that the Yuzu developers have to pay Nintendo $2.4 million in damages

not bad, not bad
now watch zero pirates help them pay the fee

That's ridiculous, emulation is not illegal. Nintendo doesn't have any valid points.


 This argument is equivalent to arresting the gun manufacturer for the crime of someone who bought a gun and shot someone.
