  • The official Nintendo Museum appears to be emulating SNES games on a Windows PC, which is slightly embarrassing

  • This is very educational, thank you. Just out of curiosity, what has Nintendo done with the 64dd? I thought they had forgotten about it

  • They've never sued anyone for playing an emulated game. They have (most likely wrongly) threatened emulator developers over circumventing copyright and encryption. I don't like it anymore than anybody else, but are we actually mad at a company for preserving their games? You can hate them for what they are doing to others while still being ok with their own emulation

  • You are right. Sorry for being so snarky. The modding community for the SNES Classic mostly preferred Nintendo's own emulator, Canoe. I just assumed Nintendo would continue to use it

    All we can do is speculate for now. They will never see another dime from me personally. I just don't see why we are persecuting them for emulation of all things. Be mad they are fucking over other emulator developers, but a company emulating their own games isn't anything new

  • Alright. Let me make sure I understand. Since Nintendo protects its IP, it isn't allowed to use its own IP?

    Like, fuck Nintendo, but that doesn't even make sense

  • So you have access to the PC in the museum?

  • They really should have used their own PC OS

  • They have literally had their own emulators for so long. At least since the SNES Classic released. It is called Canoe

  • Are they? They aren't using Canoe and their own files?

  • 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 at least Nintendo's own in-house emulators. I don't recall the situation with the Classic systems ROMs, but Animal Crossing had the release group signatures if I'm not mistaken. They've been pulling this garbage for a long time

  • 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

  • What to you was your biggest loss of pirated content?

  • Websites: rarbg and emuparadise

    Personally: I have an 8tb HDD completely full with shows and movies I haven't tested since a house fire. I'm afraid it may have been dropped in the move, and I don't even have my PC with me to check it out

  • Yup. There are some extensions and/or scripts that should help a bit, but you are always your best anti-virus. I only go if I absolutely have to, but occasionally it is the only place to find older shows and things
