Emulators can only run games decently long after the console is dead anyway, so why not.

Yes because emulation has literally killed the Switch, it now makes exactly no money and Nintendo is going bankrupt

Emulation is already illegal.

It pretty much is banned in a lot of countries. Nobody cares though.

No, because they don't sell old consoles and games anymore.

no it isn't

This is the closest we'll ever gat to corporate Stockholm Syndrome.

It can't possibly be illegal until you want to be fucked up by copyright for literally everything you do.
They don't use anything that is owned by the company to make them, which is why some of them need you to extract the BIOS from PS2 (if what they did was illegal anyway, they wouldn't bother with asking you to do it).

Sony v. Connectix and Sony v. Bleem would like to have a word with you.

Emulation is not only legal, its completely legal for emulators to be sold whilst advertising themselves as playing other companies' games

So basically nintenbros are scared that if switch games are remotely playable on PC that no one will ever buy a switch?

If that was actually the case then nintendo wouldn't bother designing and making consoles, they'd just publish games for the PC.

Not remotely close to true. Downloading a BIOS for the emulator is illegal. The actual emulator itself? No

There is nothing wrong with emulation

Anyone that hates on emulation hasnt experienced Retroarch. Saturn, virtual boy, ps1, all these games i missed out on i get to play.

I fucking love Saturn thanks to emulation. Dont you haters want people to enjoy vidya? I literally never would have gotten the chance to play games like Batsugun without it. I just dont get it man.

Emulation should come at a console's end, much like console hacking. The Wii and WiiU are perfect examples of these - hacked and they're unbelievably amazing legacy consoles. If that shit happened up front then we wouldn't have any games now, and the switch wouldn't have a port library.

No, this is corporate Stockholm syndrome.

underage pls leave.

Retroarch is fucking trash, or I'm a massive retard and can't configure it with mame.

yes. it is stealing

NOOOOOOOO THIS WAS SUPPOSED TO BE OUR TIME BROS AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

are Pkeks really this bitter?

Both desu.
Mame is a bit of a special (as in retarded) case though.

what are some ____fun____ games I can emulate?

Aww their so bitter, you know if it was another Console they would be singing it's death

3rd world players have been capable of emulating nintendo labo all this time, they just didn't know it

the only people that pirate are BRs
and no one really gives a shit about shithole countries or people

I'm a Nintenbro, and I hope the Switch gets hacked soon. I haven't bought a Nintendo game since the first years of the DS era

the real problem is the fact nintendo forces you to buy hardware to play their games. if they want the pc audience maybe they should develop a way to play their games on pc? otherwise there is absolutely no reason not to just emulate the games. physical rights management is cancer and i really hope this hits nintendo where it hurts.

Nintendo comes out with new hardware pretty much every other year so its no wonder their systems get hacked early. They should really just make one "good" console and call it good for a few years like Microsoft or Sony is doing.

Are Nintendo geniuses? Just as the Switch gets cracked, they announce that they're making the labo, something that's literally unpirateable.
I don't think any game company's managed to do something like this before.

>unpirateable
>ANY person, even a homeless person can "pirate" it

>buys a joycon adapter
wow just like the wii nunchucks

It's literally just cardboard garbage.

have you ever seen AMD fans?

It just blows my mind how modern Nintendo fans are so...brainwashed? Indoctrinated? I'm not sure what the word I'm looking for is, but holy shit are they that.

They flip the fuck out over emulation to such a degree that you'd think they worked for Nintendo's anti-piracy team or something.

>Not going to your local grocery or liquor store to procure a random cardboard box

You can get cardboard for free at any store

>Before Emulators
AHAHAHA LOOK AT THESE SALES, GET FUCKED
>After Emulators
P-Please sir... be a pal and stop, this will only hurt our beloved gaming industry

Nintentoddlers are pathetic

There’s nothing wrong with it, but I love a good butthurt so I’m all for banning it.

Rec me some good Saturn games then

I'm a fan of the switch, and I can't wait for this to be developed fully.
I have a switch, and it's cool, but I can't play with any controller, or play in 4k, or put the window on half the screen while watching youtube on the other. I still like the switch though because it's portable, and has great indies. But seriously, Did the Dolphin emulator kill the Wii? Did Cemu kill the Wii u? No, everything killed the Wii u, but that wasn't it.

A console is a physical object. It's hardware. You can't pirate a physical object

just get denuvo on Nintendo desu

>alfredo ramirez
>pls hack the ps4

Kek

...

>companies lose money for each console sold
>emulate everything, no more need for consoles
>????
>PROFIT

>Wii and WiiU
>unbelievably amazing
Unbelievable yes, amazing no.

people use emulators when they weren't going to buy the console anyway so it makes no difference

if anything it just gives the games more attention/word of mouth

BotW

Why do people actually care about whether something hurts a huge company? How does it affect you at all? It probably doesn't even affect the people in the company, I'm sure they have loads of money saved up. It just doesn't make any sense.
You see the same thing with people defending the paid online, they seem like they actually WANT to give Nintendo money for something could easily be free if people didn't tolerate companies charging for it.

>love xenoblade 2
>imagine playing it on 4k with max draw distance
Someday. But not from that shitra dev for sure. Even in the (far) future I can't afford quantum computer.

>pls dont emulate the switch emulate the ps4 instead
wow what a bunch of bitches

Should work be banned? It's pretty much slavery.

Should shitposting be banned? It's pretty much killing any hope of honest discussion

What's going on with Switch hacking? I've read something about something coming in February for 3.0.0, but I saw someone say that there's also something coming for all firmwares. I have no idea what any of these things are though. I'm only going to hack when you are able to update to higher firmwares with the hacks

shills/the retarded

>emulating any other console is fine
>but possible switch emulation is bad!
Someone please explain

not him but seriously check out nights into dreams. the steam port is superior in every way to the saturn version (even includes the old version which amazingly has no fucking slowdown) will tell you if you like it or not. saturn bomberman is THE best bomberman, only competitor for the title is bomberman '94 for pcenginr (and check that out too). sonic 3d blast is great, i only considered the saturn version shit because no savestate support and its LOOONG without internal saving too, i think beetle saturn (mednafen) supports this now though. power slave on saturn is also a really good shooter, has good strafing unlike pc counterpart but really is a whole nother game, worth checking out. really i think most games are "unexplored" if that makes sense, it only recently gets a decent emulator and over half the roms available are unusably corrupted or fucked up and nobody knew until now, exciting

because nintendo

>leave switch alone and hurt ps4 instead please
LMAO why does sony cause nintendo fans to SEETH like nothing else?

>Switch emulator

You can emulate the games, but the whole fucking point of the Switch isn't the games, but the flexibility of how you can play them thanks to the hybrid nature of the hardware. A competent Switch emulator would be nothing more than a tweaked Wii U emulator

my family is illegal, but that doesnt stop toyota hiring me and ever hispanic i know undercutting racist white people because i can do the job better than they can and dont demand shit like vacations, healthcare, and pregancy off days.

most people just wanted a home system, the whole appeal to them is literally just the games

they have nothing to fear since it takes powerful gpus to run emulation.
have you seen the price of a gpu now? you can get consoles for way cheaper.

Nice post, enjoy your (you)’s you attention whore

>they have nothing to fear since it takes powerful gpus to run emulation.
No.

>powerful gpus to run emulation
Are you retarded?
Emulation is typically 100% cpu bound, barely ever touching the gpu.
That's usually why it runs so terribly, because the faggots who program emulators can't into cuda/vulkan/etc.

>because the faggots who program emulators can't into cuda/vulkan/etc.
This is as retarded as saying it takes powerful gpus to run emulation.

It's true though.
Same reason why physics based games run 100% on the cpu, physx is shit and no one wants to make an alternative, because that'd be fucking hard.
It's not exactly their fault, it'd take someone who actually knows shit to do it, and they're just hobbyists.

>It's true though.
>Same reason why physics based games run 100% on the cpu
No.

Sue me noob.

Nintendo is immune to emulation killing their systems.

This isnt sony or sega whining about their shitty first party games sucking.

Every platform is immune to emulation killing their systems. Only an incredibly small portion of people give enough of a shit to set up an emulator and learn to use it with their controllers, let alone have a PC that could emulate modern console games.

>people on social media are idiots
woooooooooooooooooooooooooooow

The streets will run red with beaner blood

>Nintendo is immune to emulation killing their systems.
Is that why they take down any site that contains roms to their systems and have a dedicated section on their website to report such activities?

But the Wii U doesn't have any games to begin with.

emulation is preservation

You download nintendo ios from their own servers. You don't even need to connect with a nintendo device to download a game you A) didn't buy and B) all the updates and DLC for it

This

>n*nt*nd*rks
What went SO FUCKING wrong?

Buttmad switch owners. I could even go to a garbage can and begin to emulate their fucking cardboard control scheme.

>this post
i didnt understand a word of it but it sounds like advocating for shitty practices

You can connect to Nintendo America servers and download anything from the eshop for any system. You don't need a Nintendo product. You can also download the DLC and every update individually.

I know nothing about the emulation process, but how does Nintendo stuff get cracked so quickly, while MS and Sony do not?

Because nintedo crackers are vast

Underpowered hardware

>eshop
>paying 5 dollars for a NES game
>dont even have the entire library
Or how about this? I get the whole library and wait for it...for free

Maybe it'll be easier to figure out in all caps:
YOU CAN GET ANYTHING OFF NINTENDO'S SERVERS FOR FREE.

Youre a fucking idiot. Obviously you've never pirated recent nintendo titles or if you did you did so poorly.

yes carlos it's because you do it better not because you can be paid significantly less

no but you need to be banned for posting this fucking thread every day you nigger.

no. but it should only be available at the end of a console life cycle IMO

>some software should stop progressing until some company says they're going to release a new product
how about no

>some software should stop progressing
thats not what i said.
you can dev the software from day 1 but it should only be realese to the public when it wont hurt console sales. It the same as piracy if not worse.
And fuck all the people with selling emulators

You just said it again

Emulation doesn't hurt sales nor does piracy.

Good thing piracy isn't theft.
