Emulating is the best way to play a ton of games. Maybe Nintendo should make hardware that encourages people to use it over their pc if their own platforms can't run the game decently or just sell the games on pc themselves.
Debatable and in many cases (N64, Saturn), it is not. In my experience, even if an emulator runs well, it's still a worse experience than original hardware because it introduced unavoidable input lag (in conjunction with display input lag) that can make certain games very difficult to play. This mostly applies to retro games from 32-bit era or earlier which were made to play on CRTs with 0ms response time.
What's the reason CEMU is closed sourced?
Money in all likelihood. I'm not condemning the emu devs for that, but let's be real.
tell me which you'd rather play on.
The one on the right of course (if it was a choice between Wii U and PC, Switch portability convenience trumps them all)...but the entire JPG is low quality and making the one on left look worse and blurrier for no reason. A direct capture of Wii U, although low res, should look crisp regardless. But I suspect people will keep pulling out that degraded image in these arguments over and over.
We've had this run in on these threads before. As far as Gaf goes most of us interested in emulation buy and own the hardware + games from what I've seen. If someone is found out I'd expect them to be banned.
If I want to play BotW on my Wii U I can....and once this is done, I can play it on PC too if I want.
Pirates aren't welcome here and we shouldn't shun emulation because someone bad may take advantage. You don't fold due to bad eggs in the world.
At $22k a month I want every Wii U game emulated at 100% though...LOL
This is neither here nor there, but I don't believe this for a second. I think there are far more lurkers on this board who know they can't openly boast about piracy and who fully intend to pirate games on CEMU than there are people interested in CEMU from a project standpoint who will then emulate the games in a legal, proper way. To each their own, it's none of my business, but I don't think we should lie about how the forum is full of morally upright saints.
