Someone call Alanis Morisette 🤣
It would be interesting to plug an usb rubber duckie to own that station and dump all the disk somewhere
This means you can find the pc and get THEIR OWN EMULATOR, make it open source and fuck them royally.
You think they wrote their own emulator instead of just taking one of the free ones on the internet (who they will likely sue later). That’s cute.
Well yes, yes they did. It is called Canoe and is for example running inside the SNES Classic Mini. And that is not the only emulator they wrote. Writing an emulator is not some obscure magic, and it is way easier if you own all the schematics and other Information used to build the original hardware.
Why? You can just say its the official Nintendo emulator.
Nobody gives a shit if its legal or not, this is a Nintendo bashing club. We hate them and wish them to go bankrupt.
Implying they have their own emulator and it’s not just running retroarch or something
What’s so embarrassing? Emulation for backward compatibility is done all the times
I guess people are assuming it runs whatever third party emulator. It was at least how I first imagined it.
If that’s the case, it’s in my opinion very embarrassing: attempting to profit from stuff made by the community they act extremely hostile towards.
If not, I guess it’s just mildly embarrassing that they have a poorly concealed windows machine taking away from the immersion.
I read through the article, only speculation but since the sound is without a doubt the USB being disconnected then it’s pretty obvious an Windows machine running a rom.
It’s a weird assumption. Like I said, emulation for backward compatibility is common. Do they always just wait for some random strangers to implement an emulator for them?

Nintendo has some serious emulation experts for building products, but this setup rigged by some museum staff could be anything.

Waiting? There is zero chance availability is an issue. There are many ready to go snes emulators for windows out there.
And? I too really hate people using my toothbrush but have no problem using it myself. Is that embarrassing?
This really isn’t that surprising. They used ROMs for the classic games in Animal Crossing. They even had evidence it was from a release group, and not Nintendo’s own copies
I really don’t understand why this is embarrassing. I don’t know the exact setup they have going on. Is it like a kiosk where people can play classic games, or is it a monitor just displaying them? They have their own emulator, Canoe, that they used for the SNES Classic. I don’t remember the name of the NES one
Weren’t at least some of the games in the Super Mario Collection ROMs? I guess I can see why people would expect a direct port from the company that created it, or original hardware running the original games, but it isn’t like Nintendo doesn’t already have a track record for this sort of thing
It’s embarrassing because of how extremely litigious Nintendo is, and that they are themselves profiting using other people’s work (emulators and/or ROMs acquired from the internet), the exact thing they ruin lives over.
Just so we’re clear, are you under the impression that “ROMs acquired from the Internet” represent something other than Nintendo’s work?
Yes, i would generally consider ripping roms as something requiring effort similar to cracking a game
I’m not saying they haven’t used others work in the past, but they do have their own emulators and ROMs. They have for a long time. They are still terrible, but this just doesn’t seem like a big deal to me
Edit: Also, whose lives have they ruined aside from those profiting off of distributing copyrighted material? Taking down a fan game doesn’t sound life ruining
They are banning emulators but are then using them themselves. They are banning roms but are then using those same roms themselves.
Sounds like hypocrisy to me
