These assholes can’t seem to grasp that emulation is the only reason their old games are still popular.

But they don’t care, do they ? It’s better for them if you stop playing the old game and buy the 1234th remake of Mario at full price on Switch

They don’t do that. They have re-releases that are available for purchase for a month before they’re gone, and then they rent you the old emulated games forever, on worse emulators, with no option to buy them.

Particularly with the modding scene. You can’t exactly do a randomiser with the cartridge.

Fuck Nintendo. I refuse to buy any of their games anymore. If its something I want to play, I will pirate instead.

I just bought a Wii and a 3DS a year or two ago for the first time. CFW on both of them and packed them full of games. Had a blast.

In ten years I’ll probably do the same with the switch.

Is Nintendo trying to get people to not buy their games?

They want to run their fanbase away, yes

Copying Nintendo games isn’t only ethical; it’s a moral obligation.

If they are, it unfortunately isn’t working very well

They succeeded with me for the rest of this gen in March this year after killing Yuzu. I was originally going to wait to hack my Switch until the Switch 2 was released, but I went ahead and did it then.

It is absolutely shocking to me how long it is taking for fans to turn on Nintendo. They’ve done this hardcore corpo shit for years. They should have a public image far worse than EA by now.

The nostalgic love runs deep, I guess.

raises hand

As an owner of hundreds of Nintendo pieces from arcade to Switch… I’ve turned.

Original console or RPi3 with Lakka for classics on the Sony Trinitron, and GOG or Steam on Linux for anything new.

Look into a MiSTer FPGA. It’s way better than a pi (latency!) for everything up to ps1/n64/Saturn

Don’t remind me. I need a PVM to go with it. 😅 Although, I actually like the 240p composite video on the Trinitron TV, it looks exactly like it did back-in-the-day and indistiguishable from the real consoles’ composite output.

The Lakka image I’m using is well-tuned with noticably less lag than some Pi setups I’ve seen. Interested Pi owners can find it here.

I can’t find it, but someone has been collecting stats on input lag for many different USB gamepads/controllers as well.

I was shocked at how badly I was playing Symphony of the Night on a PS Vita TV with a DualShock 4… it turned out to be the input lag… of an real Sony controller on a real Sony console. Connect it by USB cable - noticable lag went away. 🤬

You will run the games on our extremely specific hardware using our proprietary software environment and you will like it!

It wouldn’t be so bad if their hardware wasn’t underpowered dogshit. But it is, so fuck them doubly so

Can you explain what I’m looking at? I’ve had a switch sitting around for a few years(?) I wanna say and haven’t done shit with it cause games are so expensive. But id like to use it rather than let it collect dust

That’s hekate, the program used to launch atmosphere, the cfw for Switch. If you have a Switch from the first year or so of when they came out, it’s software moddable with just a jig, otherwise you have to do soldering and the like.
