Switch Fanboy Praises Nintendo for Trying to Kill Emulation by Suing Yuzu

[@severinevans346]

They do know Yuzu itself doesn't provide the games and only open source software right?

[@brandonkruse6412]

Maybe I can provide some clarity as someone who’s spent years working with emulation. Emulation in general is very much legal and protected for archival and homebrew purposes and generally speaking, running backups of your own games is legal. The problem here is that the steps you have to take in order to even run your own Switch games requires you to break copy-protections to copy over the system files from your Switch and game files. The problem for Nintendo is, Yuzu does most* everything by the books. They aren’t running Nintendo code in their emulator and they don’t provide keys to even use the emulator. Where Yuzu messed up was on their website where they provide instructions for using a program called LockPick to break into your console and copy over the necessary prod/title keys.

[@trunguss]

I don't know, I feel like using LockPick to crack open the protection and obtaining the keys from a device you physically own should be fine. Like, the data is stored on a chip I physically own that Nintendo sold to me... I would like to think that makes it fine to copy for personal use, just like how it's fine to transcribe a book for personal use.

[@brandonkruse6412]

@@trunguss It should be but unfortunately it’s not because the process of copying your games as backups requires breaking copy protection of your console.

@@brandonkruse6412 Tch, yeah, I think you're right. Really unfortunate that I can't break into the lock box I bought and own though..

[@brandonkruse6412]

@@trunguss It’s one of the many reasons that makes Nintendo anti-consumer. There are many benefits to rooting your Switch that have nothing to do with piracy. Running game mods and making manual backups of your games. Years ago I had a BoTW save file with a ton of hours into it and my wife accidentally overwrote it with her new game b/c she didn’t know you could only have one save file per account lol. I personally think Nintendo is wasting their time going after piracy anyway. The % of people that buy their games vs. pirate is probably 1,000 to 1. I supported the Yuzu project early on and the first few years of the emulator, you needed a very strong PC to run games and many still today don’t even work.

[@Nirob615]

Also by the logic Nintendo uses here any third party game's publisher from a previous generation can sue Sony, Microsoft, and Nintendo for using in-house emulators on current gen consoles. The old game was never made with the intention of being played on current day consoles because they too are pieces of hardware that the game software was designed for.

Once again, Harman being completely *wrong* about everything per usual. I just really want to know is.. is it an act at this point? Because being this factually wrong and off base has to be a bit, right? Jesus christ. Emulation is one of the few tried and true methods of game preservation. When it comes to emulation, a lot of the time it boils down to: 1) Said game being out of 'print' 2) Insanely priced 3) Region/Console locked 4) Outright banned in your country 5) Beyond obscure; circle back to problem 1 and 2 6) Any combination of the above. And Nintendo is no better, with yet another lawsuit that doesn't hold much weight legally. The only thing that they have is money-- that's it. For a company that crafts some pretty fun games, they really are bitter old bastards that don't want anyone else having fun. Well, unless it's on one of their own consoles.

My only point with this is that, if you're a kid or a student that doesn't have the luxury to spend money on video games, pirate all you want. But it looks incredibly pathetic when people that have proper income wants to pirate games but has 6 different pair of shoes as a man. No man needs more than 3 pairs, and 2 pairs DEFINITELY do if you're not the suit and tie kind of guy. You still go out of your way to buy shoes you like, or watches that don't even serve any purpose because you now can know the time just by looking at your phone at any given time. And you wouldn't steal a pair of shoes or a watch. But you'd steal games? Piracy is for people that can't afford it. It's for people who aren't living in the privileged world of Central/Western Europe or USA. Yeah it's not literally stealing something from someone physically. But just because that's not the case, it doesn't mean you're not stealing anything. If you can easily afford it but choose not to, it's 100% stealing. There's nothing wrong with retro console emulation though, because some of those games, people that made them don't even exist in the industry anymore. And the games themselves go for ridiculous prices so you're being ripped off for a game very few people want to play but because it's rare. And no developer or publisher is even making money off of those cartridges being sold by scummy people that sell for 10 times more than they got the game. And Nintendo realized that way too late and is trying to charge people money for games that they've already been playing for ages again. I personally only hacked my PS Vita because Sony stopped supporting it, not only that, they just pulled several ps plus games from it due to not bothering to renew licenses for a dead console. In that case I feel no shame in hacking it. If Sony isn't gonna be providing me what I paid for, I'll just take it.

Honestly I've heard good arguments on both sides of this one. There is a clause in the DMCA that prevents DRM circumvention that might be the thing that brings down Yuzu. It's not as open and shut as people think. One thing i can say for certain though is that even in the worst case scenario where emulation becomes "illegal", nothing is really going to change. People will just start making and working on these projects anonymously/underground. Or, development will just move over to countries that don't care about western IP laws. Not to mention, all these emulators are all already out in the wild.

It appears that Harmon Smith's fondness for his own voice outweighs his grasp of legal matters. He blindly defends a corporation that couldn't care less about him, as evidenced by Sony's failed attempts to eradicate emulation. Emulation doesn't yield profits, so what's the fuss? Sure, downloading ROMs may raise eyebrows, but with sites dwindling and the need to own the game for ripping, the landscape has changed. As for Harmon Smith, his grating voice and lack of understanding are hard to endure. Frankly, I'm perplexed as to why anyone would subject themselves to his diatribes.

It's not a dig at you Joe btw, but in that reference where you said "you don't burn gamecube games into my computer", you used the wrong terminology. Burning is specifically printing the digital data of the piece of media into a physical form. The term burning came about because the drives that are capable of putting the media on discs literally use their laser to burn a long series of indentions into the disc which is interoperated as binary code. You're looking for the term "rip" which is the term for taking data off of a physical copy and storing it digitally. It's rarely used outside of the piracy scene because companies put safeguards in place to keep people with low to general tech knowledge from taking data to redistribute else where.

To be fair! If your pc uses an hdd, the act of ripping software is stull burning it onto the platter of an hdd
