Is Nintendo extra butthurt because their Switch got hacked up the ass? Well it's looking like the Switch is getting emulated as well. Good. Fuck you, Nintendo. This does nothing to stop piracy because it's still easy as fuck to find an alternate source, but what this could harm is preservation of harder-to-find things (i.e. almost nothing Nintendo has made).

It's super unsafe compared to the 3DS though.

It's making progress much earlier than the 3DS. There will be better solutions in time.

What about all the roms of the games they will NEVER release digitally? Also will they be going after secondhand stores also?

I'm so glad I acquired Terranigma. It's a great unique game that will never get rereleased over in the US, despite it being in English >_>

Oh, you're referring to that? Psh, I'm amazed Nintendo let that happen for so long (or at all). Having to download from unofficial sources isn't difficult.

Just to clarify what happened, they made another site and moved everything across there. Interestly this new site doesn't have NES, FDS, GB, GBC, GBA, SNES, or even N64. It's clear that Nintendo is going to war with those sort of sites.

Switch is getting emulated? Who has a computer that badass?

It's not necessarily a question of hardware power. The Wii U is more powerful than the PS3 or Xbox 360, yet has pretty damn good emulation already. The Nintendo 64 is old as fuck and still has shoddy emulation.

I've also read that the Sega Saturn is also very difficult to emulate as well.

It is, but Saturn emulation is actually way better off than Nintendo 64 emulation at this point. The state of Nintendo 64 emulation is just sad.

Seems like most of the N64 emulation work over the past 10 years was done for consoles like Wii and PSP. They did some amazing work given the limited hardware, but that time probably would have been better spent making a decent PC emulator which could then be ported to other systems. I don't think it's so much the complexity of the system (Saturn is much worse for this) as it has been the lack of focus.

It really didn't though, they wised up and pretty much anyone who did got banned. They finally got their shit together with 3DS as well though the damage is already well done there lol.

Banned from online play. They're still free to pirate all local play games.

The bad information in these posts is impressive.

https://www.reddit.com/r/SwitchHacks/comments/8rxg26/psa_strong_antipiracy_measures_implemented_by/

The tl ; dr here being that if you pirate any games and put them on your switch you will be permabanned from Nintendo services and carry that ban with you to other Nintendo devices unless you avoid ever going online with that Switch again. That's a large difference between simply being "banned from online play" .

Among others. Updates, Switch account services, leaderboard services, apparently avatar stuff, Mii stuff, and any device verification (i.e. for when a physical copy of a game is bought). Implying it's just an IP block means you're either ignorant of what you're talking about or trying to mislead people.

I didn't imply it was an IP block, you inferred that with the power of your ass. Why are you trying so hard to "correct" people on the internet? "ackshully guise its not online play, its online services. Score 1 point for me!!!1"

That's what a ban from online play typically is. Not the same as you choosing to remove the option of online play yourself forever.

No it isn't. Pretty much any online game that uses accounts will ban you by your account. So much for you being the guy to call out "impressive" amounts of "bad information".

Most people who hack their systems don't care about the online stuff anyway, and the ones that do can just keep an unmodded system for it if it's that important. But by the time you do the mod you will have already made the decision about what's most important, so yeah, it's mostly people who don't care.

A considerable portion of the drive behind the Switch hacking is so you can go online with it.

Aww, son of a bitch.
Damn you straight to hell, Nintendo.
This. To infinity.
These sorts of claims shouldn't even be allowed to be sent, let alone taken seriously unless they're offering the games in question in some other way-even if it's through a virtual console or classic console remake but there needs to be a way to obtain them because right now they could never legally justify a loss of IP or income by these ROMs being freely available.
It's a damn shame these sites have no way to defend these sorts of damages claims because if someone managed to fight one to a high enough court, we might just see that policy change.

another good example is that a basic laptop can emulate a playstation 1 easily
but it would struggle to run a nintendo DS

but a basic andriod phone would have a few hiccups while trying to run a playstation 1 emulator
but can run a DS emulator just fine


Yeah architecture similarity

Canada's is definitely weaker than the US's.
You're not obligated to pay any fees for illegal downloads and I've heard many Canadians say that games fall into public domain much faster and you're allowed to pirate old games there though I'm not sure how accurate that is.

Well if that's true, then awesome. Canada saved retro gaming. But I still think Nintendo will go after Canadian servers hosting those games. I should also remind you that in the Toronto, Canada area there is a mall named Pacific Mall. It is infamous for it's high amount of counterfeit goods including movies and even games. There have been many raids in the past targeting stores selling bootlegs. I'm telling you this to let you know that even in Canada, we do have copyright laws.
