Seriously, fuck Nintendo

And then Nintendo fanbrats will then forget about this after a Nintendo livestream. Rinse and repeat.

Nintendo consoomers, like a typical consoomer, will fall for whatever Nintendo cooks with its brand name. I really despise these Nintendo fantards

Nintendo Labo was pretty neat and even though I didn't buy it because it was way outside of my age range, I think it was pretty neat.

It's all about compartmentalization.

Or is this because of Steam Deck? Because I fail to see how an appimage that RetroArch offers for Linux would fail to work on it.

There's no sense for that really, because there is EmuDeck that allows pretty easy installation of most popular emulators, including dolphin and other dolphin forks like PrimeHack.
Devs really shot themselves in the foot with this one, and I fear this will only have greater consequences for the emulation scene.

Not even surprised either way. Most consoomers are bots pretending to act like actual human beings. They are pretty much the equivalent to what people in society would be like in the Mike Judge movie Idiocracy.

Beats me, I guess they saw Retroarch on Steam and figured they could get away with it, but ended up painting a big target on their back.

Dolphin's always been proported to be a clean room project, especially in the wake of the 2020 leaks where things like the Wii's system source code got out, so I really really hope they clean up their act so Nintendo can't find more reasons to shut it all down.

I was hoping(?) that the public key was only added recently to indicate that someone was trying to sabotage the project, but nope, it was added in 2017. I want to defend them, but they fucked up. They should have made the user input their own public key that totally wasn't pulled off the internet and is being shared by 99% of all other users so they could at least claim plausible deniability. Any chance they could remove that, make users input it themselves, and blacklist that specific key or is it too little too late?

The project is ran by discordniggers at this point. They even added forced updates that were not in pre-discordnigger builds. You can guess what kind of bad outcomes are inevitable with that userbase behind the helm of anything.

Are you sure about that? I don't have forced updates in my install.

... so is that a yes or a no on removing the public key? I ask because it seems retarded for Nintendo to only start caring six years after it was pushed to the repo, like somehow the Steam version can be DMCA'd but the standalone version is okay. If fighting muh evil piracy of 20 year old games is so important, why didn't they say anything during the last six years, and why does their complaint only apply to the Steam version?
Also, Nintendo tends to pull this crap when they think it would interfere with an upcoming release, like AM2R with Samus Returns or Mario Royale with Super Mario Bros. 35. That means we're finally getting a Switch 2 with Gamecube virtual console :stress:

Could be because they're trying to make money off of it?

Or, if you want to go off of competition with current releases, Prime Remastered. Though they didn't care with the Sunshine/Galaxy port.

Xcom 2 on Switch is like the worst port I’ve ever played. The loading times last a month of sundays and the battle setup screen is a slideshow. It just baaaaaaarely works.

And you know what sucks the most? All I want is XCOM: Enemy Within on my Switch. That has been successfully ported a ton of times. Bring the superior game over!

Yes. When they own the property in question they can pretty much do what ever they want with it. Cope seethe et cetera.

Sure, but you can pick which point says the most about Nintendo:
1. It's hypocritical of them to constantly complain about unofficial emulation being evil when they themselves use it.
2. The fact that they apparently didn't have an in-house NES emulator proves that they rely on unofficial emulation (and if the early Wii Virtual Console is any indication, even rom sites).
3. how the fuck do you mess up a screenshot that badly like holy shit just open paint and crop it you lazy fucks

I'm not sure a NES emulator is analogous to Dolphin which has for years been under scrutiny for playing coy with the fact that they are stealing Nintendo's proprietary security keys to make their program work. On the plus side at least they aren't as dumb as the cemu people by having a Patreon.

The Steam release was a bridge too far and the Dolphin team are rightfully eating shit for their hubris. If all they end up with is a cease and desist order and a bonanza of press exposure, they had a pretty good day.

Its hilarious how hypocritical the Anti-DRM crowd are as will gladly lay down their lives for a steam release of just about anything. Every game runs better without something like steam in the background.
