Temtems went from being slightly below mediocre to being an dumpster fire over the increasingly loss of functionality. Palworld is fairly good, but an little bit on the generic sides. Everything else just kind of faded into obscurity
Loss of functionality how so?

It started off as an diet version of the newer Pokemon games, but with an MMO mechanic attached to it. The main story was unfinished at launch, some gay shit happened and it just...ended with room for one or two more areas.

For the actual online stuff, they were gradually becoming skimpier with the currency that you needed to either boost your creatures' growth rates or your odds at catching something.

I need to reread the thread, but it's mostly an case of the devs starving the playerbase for no reason
 
Back in the day we knew piracy was illegal, we knew it was wrong, but we did it anyway because we wanted free games. We didn't try to take some gay moral high ground. Just get games from whatever was the current site or p2p service until it was shut down and have fun along the way.

I bought an original Xbox in 2006 and it took me 10 years to buy a single legit game. Even Xbox homebrew was not legal because it was compiled using the official XDK which was leaked; you had to get it from a weird FTP service which barely worked. Once I hacked a 360 using JungleFlasher I didn't bother buying for a long time there too. When Microsoft banned consoles from XB Live we would just laugh.

But hey most of that stuff is from some shady org in China or someone who knows that yah might as well not live in the US anymore. You can't make that and expect to live a normal life. You can't set up a business in the United States, especially when you're designing software to circumvent DMCA, to create an emulator for a current console.

This is why most emulator developers try to keep a squeeky clean image. Oh hey check out this GBA emulator you can use to run scene tech demos. You're totally only doing that.

Bleem! was a PS1 emulator for the Personal Computer and, most importantly, the Sega Dreamcast. The latter was what caught Sony’s ire. Bleem’s original plan was to put out a catch-all emulator disc for the Dreamcast, much like they did for the PC, but due to memory limitations and some other issues, they found it was easier to put out single-use “Bleemcast!” discs that supported one game at a time. Only three Bleemcast discs were ever released, I believe: Metal Gear Solid, Gran Turismo 2, and Ridge Racer 4. By all accounts, the games seemed to work very well. Boot the Dreamcast using the Bleemcast disc, then swap to the PS1 CD when prompted. Boom: instant remaster.

Sony took Bleem to court. Sony alleged it was illegal and breaking trademarks and this and that and the other thing. Bleem was deemed totally legal. They won their court case. Problem solved, right? Sony did not care. It wasn’t about legality. This was war. Sega was getting an advantage. So, they launched every counter suit in the book. They fought every inch of every technicality they could find.

By law Bleem was required to fight back, and legal battles are not free. For Sony, a multi-billion dollar tech and media corporation, this was but a drop in the bucket. For Bleem, a tiny little company consisting of maybe 3-5 people total, deflecting Sony’s accusations in court would bankrupt them multiple times over. Bleem may have been legal, but Sony still won by technicality. They out-spent them to death. If you’re big enough to be a target, they will get you, because they are still much, much bigger than you are. That’s all there is to it.
You know we could argue about whether the way Bleem was developed and sold was above board but a much more obvious example of Sony engaging in lawfare is Lik Sang.

It's true, though, that if they wanted to Sony or Nintendo could go after emulator developers with straight lawfare and more or less guarantee they shut down. They don't because it's bad PR and a certain amount of this stuff going on in the background, kept on the downlow, is fine. Not a concern. They could C&D every ROM site fairly easily and get Google to block results very quick. Instead it's only done when things get too blatant and too big.

Here is one that I know for sure does work (for posterity)
The issue with most of these mirrors is that they don't include ALL the code from other projects (that were ALSO taken down in this whole thing).

The following contains the unified codebases for both Citra and Yazu, I can confirm as it's almost done compiling the latest version of Citra, whether or not it'll run correctly on my machine is yet to be seen, but it's a hacked up Arch install so... at least it compiles.
It also appears that Yuzu also is unified.

First two levels of the upcoming girlboss game.

It's almost as horrible as you'd expect.

First level is fairly cinematic, but it's just stuff that we've already seen and the second one is the baking minigame.

But this might be an little bit longer that I anticipated, but not by much.

Does this mean it will run on a Steam deck?
It should work for the Steam deck; though I’m not sure if there’s anything else needed to target the Deck specifically. I’m unsure if Citra supports Vulkan but OpenGL is available and I know the deck supports that as well as sdl2.

(Sidenote: Citra (compiled from the link I posted) runs light 3DS titles on my install well, as well as could be expected for a 7yr old thinkpad)

Surprised that there's multiple acts per stage, I thought it'd just be one and done. Knight Stage is fine, Patisserie one is a bit trickier because they don't mention there's a delay to stopping when it comes to making the cookies. Needed to retry to get all the sparkle things on that part.

Seems like a fine 7/10 game. Looks nice, could feel better if it was 60fps.
 
Mar10 Month for the Switch, meaning that select mario games will be on sale until the end of the month.
  • Mario Rabbids
  • Luigi Mansion 3
  • Mario Tennis Aces
  • Mario Golf
  • Super Mario Party

Guess I'm still borrowing that one from one of my relatives 🙁

The only way they could sell that to you on Switch is via the 3D All Stars collection and you're not allowed to play that anymore.
 
Who wants some emulation/rom blackpills?
 
not allowed to play that anymore

Wait I own this, can I not even play it lmao

Double post because I just saw this holy shit. Gonna update Atmosphere rn just in case
 
Nah, just a sarky comment on my half over how Nintendo made 3D All Stars a limited time purchase. Same thing happened (albeit for free) with Super Mario 35. Gone, poof.
Well thats different. They do that to keep server populations up. There's only one "35" game allowed at once, first it was Tetris 99, then Mario 35, then Pac-Man whatever and now its F-Zero 99.
