That’s factually incorrect. They’ve gone after Dolphin whom explicitly don’t accept donations. Then there’s, Ryujinx, Cemu, Libretro/RetroArch, emuDeck, etc. that accept donations. This again comes down to the GPLv3 which doesn’t restrict the selling of binaries of the legal code nor restrict donations. Infact if one is only accepting donations, your company by U.S. copyright law are a nonprofit.
uhh… Dolphin uses the Wii key, that’s what they did wrong… each one has done an illegal activity that has lead to them being pursued.
Its really not a hard concept to try and grasp here, sorry.
Nothing about my previous comment is “factually” incorrect. Which specific part do you think I was wrong about, and provide a source to disclaim it if you want to try and make a point.
A lot of those apps are actual “donations” as well, not a patreon with locked emulator content…. If you can’t comprehend the differences of what’s being done, why the fuck are you discussing?
GPL has nothing to with donations… that’s what makes the emulator defense invalid for copyright, you’re only protected for personal use. Can you please stop conflating these very simple things……?
Then why hasn’t Nintendo fallowed through and killed Dolphin yet? If it’s illegal, then why haven’t they continued trying to sue Dolphin?
Because they are fighting it instead of rolling over like Yuzu….?
Why are we going back over the same shit again? If you don’t have anything more to try and defend Yuzu who fucked up, are we done…?
