Switch emulator yuzu progress

So everyone who uses Yuzu also bought a Switch and the games they're playing on Yuzu? Yeah right. Don't play dense with me man, I don't enjoy it.
Why should I care about those that did not rip their own game on their own switch? Only Nintendo should care. Those are pirating. Those who ripped themselves are not. So not piracy.

Let's be real, the majority of the people using this emulator or any emulator does not own the games or a Switch to rip the games from , its just flat out stealing.

Wow ,what a bad ass! You really made a great point . Go cry somewhere else.
😂🤣🤣 nah I'm good here thanks
 
What are people ripping their owned games with their own Switchs stealing?
LOL......you really believe everyone that uses this rips games they own .

Imagine going to bat for Nintentardo out of all the miserable gaming companies in the world, who's even gonna DMCA you for streaming their games...

Move on from the "this is stealing" or "this condones piracy" derailing. This is about emulation- and emulation or preservation has been a staple to gaming since collectors collected their collections.

Talking about emulation is fair game, what's not fair game is telling people how to pirate or find ROMs / ISOs. If that happens, please report those posts.

Thank you.
 
questionable legal validity

If that was even 1% true, don't you think Nintendo would be sending their ninja lawyers to shut that shit down immediately? That they are not should tell you something.

Anyway, relax, piracy doesn't seem to be a big issue for Nintendo, given sales figures for their games. Shit, even though people could already easily emulate (and possibly pirate) Mario 64/Sunshine/Galaxy on PCs (and at 4k/60fps too), they still sold a shit ton of their low effort collection:

Maybe you're right. Maybe they will still send the ninjas. We'll see. I'm perfectly relaxed though and I've been asked to move on from this, and so I'll concede the fight. Emulate commercially available hardware away friends.

Don't worry, most people, core PC gamers included, don't actually have the powerful ~5GHz cpu required for it to work at its best for all the more demanding Switch games yet (not to mention how they boast about it ages now and not just with the latest improvements, saying they played these games better when in fact if they even used this they played most full of glitches as shown in the comparison video and stutters and other issues on top given their specs). Just remember these threads the next time some tool as above goes "Nintendo just makes bad Mario games trollol" to know the thirst for the amazing Nintendo games is real in other platform owners and that's why Nintendo emulators get such crazy popularity with tons of support behind them to begin with. Pirates will pirate anyway, if not these then other things and still not buying these, emulation is great!

Just wondering, has Nintendo ever successfully sued to shut down an emulator over the ~25 years they've been around? The only examples I can find are of them shutting down in-browser emulators that also give you access to games.

Pirates will pirate anyway, if not these then other things and still not paying for these, emulation overall is great.

That's actually a fantastic point, the overlap between people who go OH BOY over this and people who shitpost about "Nintendardo" is noticeable and very telling indeed.

I get that, the issue with this particular emulator is that in the beginning it required decrypted firmware keys generated from the nand of an exploited switch just to run, and that's even before you get to the issue of games.

With later updates the issue largely went away through one thing and another, however, the decryption keys would still be considered Nintendo IP.
 
Emulation is really cool. Of course there is piracy but it still allow great things.
I can't find my copy of SSX 3 and I'm playing it by emulation, is it bad ? Am I a bad guy ?
I'll add that I don't think Nintendo, Sony or anyone else is worried about emulation.

I played Zelda on my WiiU and damn I couldn't finish the game because I thought the render was really bad (mostly resolution)
Played it on PC via emulation and holy shit it's a completely different experience

The simple fact that you CAN have this for those who own the game is awesome. Played for 17h on WiiU, I put 270 hours on my PC in this game...
So yeah, emulation can be bad but I believe pirate will always find a way so... let it be this.

Same here, bought a switch and zelda and fuck me the visuals where dog shit to look at on a pc screen, the handheld mode was also terrible to hold and the shitty controllers lose are way to small to be used in any possible way comfortable.

so cemu came to the rescue 4k 60fps way better visual settings and a xbox controller so good.

So your saying if you steal something but nobody sees you it's not really stealing ....:messenger_weary::messenger_ok:
Whatever excuse you want to use.

Fortunately Nintendo removed their old page about emulation after many years. That is quite something!

Hope you are not using arguments from that source that does not exist anymore




Nintendo is a horrible source for information on this. Their packaging still tells you its illegal to make your own backups (Sony v. Universal established that you can. One of the key things from the case is that how your backup is made vs. the original medium doesn't matter at all.) If Nintendo.com says something is illegal, don't take it at face value: they have anywhere between 5 and 60 reasons to lie to you about your rights concerning backups, depending on what you're backing up. Remember, this page about ROM's was written by the same legal team that tried shutting down EVO last year and is behind the attempt to kill let's plays on YouTube.

Nobody cares what nintendo thinks really. If they want emulation of there games to stop start building a PC shop and offer the games the way pc gamers want it. PC gamers give absolute zero fuck at what nintendo wants or doesn't want. U offer what they want or they will make it happen themselves. PC support with nintendo is already 0% so frankly why would any PC gamer give 2 shits about what nintendo thinks they have no power play here.

Who the fuck even dumps keys lol. U got a switch u got botw u are legal to download the roms and play it u already own the license to use their products. It's that simple. What nintendo and some weebs on a forum is the correct way is only interesting for those purists that live in fairy tale lands of arguments that nobody gives 2 shits about. PC gamers give absolute zero shit about anything else then having the game run and they will take the shortest route every single time.

Hmm interesting take, cowboy. Yeah, interesting.

I was reading the SXOS Lawsuit documents just before reading this post, and I'm afraid to say Nintendo would beg to differ from your 'viewpoint'.

Hint: Don't tell him the 'license' is non-transferrable, and in any case Nintendo has a loooonng and storied history of going after cloners, starting with those 69 billion-in-1 games NES carts.

Anyone try Hyrule Warriors: Age of Calamity on this?

The game kind of smashes together lite BotW vistas and interactivity, with the numbers of a Warriors game, and the results in resolution and framerate are somewhat predictable.

I'd love to see what the game looks like cleaned up, and possibly what might await for any 'Switch Pro' revision.
 
I wish there were more 'great' and 'perfect' games on their compatibility list (especially of the bigger budget, more popular variety). I can't really invest myself in a game if there are noticable glitches. Not to diminish the amazing progress they've made so far - I'm just super impatient.

You could just buy a switch...
 
Corporate shills need to understand, emulators are legal. Roms and how you obtain them is another topic. But this is about emulation. So please stop derailing every emulation thread. I remember when this was bannable some time ago.

I reiterate my opinion: this thread condones piracy and should be closed.
Your Nintendo stocks plummeted or something?

Honestly, Not sure how emulation of a currently sold device, in it's prime, can even be a good thing, for anyone. I get emulation for Neo Geo, Capcom, Arcade systems and out of date systems.

But openingly developing emulation for the Switch seems crazy and fraught with copyright infringement issues. I would think Game Cube or Dream Cast emulation might have a leg to stand on. But something so recent, obviously would be considered problematic and more geared towards Piracy?

Obviously up rezzing and other features are cool, but seems way to soon.

It's times like this were I have respect for Cps Shock and Razoola and how they handled the CPS2 system.
