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

[@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.

[@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.

[@Soapromancer]

My biggest gripe is nintendo going after games they haven't sold for 20+ years. Like yeah, maybe someone pirated the original mario, but it's not like nintendo would have made any money from someone buying it off ebay for $100+.

[@Ronin-rk6iq]

If nintendo didn't release bad hardware, release pc versions of their games, and locked older games to older platforms the demand for emulation would go down. If I want to play a game like wind waker, I can't play it on switch so I would either have to emulate it on dolphin/cemu or try to find a gamecube/wii/wii u that are not being sold anymore to play the game.

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.

[@FourheadWeapon]

Perhaps the reason why Nintendo is going after emulation now is because of the Nintendo online service they offer where for a price, you can stream old Nintendo games to your switch. Or maybe in Japan, they finally got the news that someone modded Shrek into BOTW

In this particular case, I can see why Nintendo went after Yuzu over just any emulator. It was actually doing things like paywalling and promoting being able to play games before release, which is definitely 100% a piracy thing since, unless you're a time traveler, you're not ripping your legally acquired copy there. If they go after Ryujinx, THAT'LL be screwed up.

[@Inaluogh]

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.

Of course I did have an 8 bit console too, but those games were usually hard and short. So you just had to go play something else too.

So the thing nintendo might win on is cus Yuzu gets around their security to play the emulation. So its not illegal to emulate the game but they might get it under it being illegal to circumvent their security. I believe its something similar to what dkoldies did; they put those void warranty stickers on which is not illegal to put on a product but is illegal to enforce the voiding of the warranty. Personally i side with Yuzu because i dont think you should be able to make an action to do something legally(emulate) unable to be done without breaking the law (circumventing their security)

[@aruce9]

They want legal precedent that emulation is illegal so they have a monopoly over their old software so you can either go through third party resellers or them. They want to make their games scarce. Piracy is a service problem. Most people want to buy older games legally but companies like Nintendo don’t want to release older software. There are obscure Nintendo games like wario world that are around $100 a copy and Nintendo doesn’t want to release it.

[@LargeGamer1]

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.
