That makes me lel because I always see the forums for these emus where everyone is hyper reddit and crucifies you if you talk about downloading roms as if 99% of the userbase doesn't already do that.

Because... it's theirs. Imo they can fuck right off I'm not paying shit but doesn't mean they can't charge. Nearly all emulators, or at least high level ones, don't infringe on any copyright material and are not illegal themselves.

>pirate their emulator
>just like how they enable piracy of nintendo's software

It would be poetic

>>59344168
But that's wrong, faggot. Prove it or shut up.

I've been wondering why it's acceptable for emulators on smartphones to be paid software. Or are filled with ads.

I just figured normies are like "lol mario" and pay without a second thought.

>>59344128
someone would just pirate their software anyway, if its any good

>>59344416
I already did lol

>>59344416
I did this for project64 when they wouldn't release 1.7 for free

>>59344432
I can prove it, the moment the cemu dude releases his source.

>>59344470

Why pirate it now if it doesn't play anything yet. I'm waiting for it to be able to play BOTW before I pirate it.

>>59344528
It can be play already, just not perfect. also only on pc with high specs.

>>59344528
it plays quite a bit

How much do you have to pay to download CEMU?

>>59344766
it's free but patrons who pay $5 get new versions a week early

>>59344766
Nothing. Builds are released to Patreon backers a week early. That's it. The same build is released for free on their site a week later. Manbabies from /v/ have a problem with this, because they're poor but want it NOW NOW NOW.

>>59344779
>>59344788

The fuck, people are complaining about paying 5 dollars to get early access? Is it 5 dollars a month or 5 dollars one time? Even if it's not a single fee why can't they just wait one week? Holy shit OP is a faggot.

>>59344332
/this

>>59344128
It's free?

The patreons only get minor bugfixes, hence the letters, a,b,c,d, etc.

Public free releases are an actual version release that has been beta tested by the patrons.
Obviously it's nowhere near beta or alpha state itself. Plays most stuff, but it's "in development".

So only reason to become a patron is to actually donate to them. You will get the better version after a week anyways.

Bleem motherfuckers.

Also, even if they sued them to just stall the development, they could not even do that, because literary leaking the source, changing the name and then starting new development with that source while the court case goes on.

>>59344327
Yes, because talking about piracy is one thing, another thing is actually doing it, implying you can prove I did it.

Also it's totally legal to download a ROM of the internet if you already own a physical copy of the game.

Heck, I will buy BotW when it's playable on Cemu because I like to support a good game.

>>59344396
>>59344437

It's free to begin with. There's nothing to pay.

>>59344528
>>59344657
>>59344734

Why pirate it if it's free anyways?
You do know you are talking about a free emulator?

You can play BotW once it reaches playable state without paying a cent for the emulator.

>>59344788
>>59344802
Not only that, but patreon builds aren't that good to begin with, once it hits public release a week later, they will have fixed a lot of issues the patrons complained about.

It's literary donating and helping the development of the emulator, not only with money, but with testing.

>>59345593
That's not actually true. If you owned the media you could have a case in court but it's still currently illegal in usa.

>>59344182

I've made disc images of a few of my PS1 games and have downloaded a few others that I've already owned but had discs of in poor condition. I did download several games as well that I haven't bought personally... so I do a mix of things... mostly just PS1 emulation so far but I might get into it more once eventually when I have more free time.

*more eventually when

Theres no info on the developers, how the hell are these guys doing it? Genius-level intelligence and massive console knowledge? Access to internal Nintendo developer material? How is it possible?

Because dolphin devs said they won't pick the WiiU up, so they decided to become first. Being first is a big deal, they can do whatever the fuck they want.
Meanwhile I'm still waiting for them to release source, most shit would be running great if they went open in the first place.

The one I'm really hype for is rpcs3, there are so many games I want to play from the PS3.

here's the open source wiiu emulator, OP
https://github.com/decaf-emu/decaf-emu

use that if you'd like, but it's so bad you probably didn't even know it existed. i'd take working closed source software over non-working freetard shit every day.

as for why cemu is closed source: either it's because they want patreon money to be able to work fulltime on it (no one EVER donates large amounts of money to open source emulators, monthly) or they have insider information (i.e. leaked nintendo code) they're trying to hide to avoid a lawsuit. many people are using cemu and if the devs ever decide to put malware in it, you'll know within the hour.

regardless, i hope they'll release the source when they stop working on it so others can continue their work (though i don't see that happening anytime soon, they get $120k a year right now, worst case scenario they'll intentionally slow down progress to keep collecting their free money).

>>59345682

Even dumping roms of games you own is illegal if there's any form of copy protection on the disc/cart due to DMCA.

Nintendo didn't even bother to patch the glaring softmod hacks on the Wii U. They don't care about an emulator for a dead system. They aren't even selling it anymore. It's over.

>>59344166
Emulators are not illegal. Roms are copyright infringement.

Nintendo are jews of the highest degree and should be raped in the ass, but these Cemu shills aren't any different either, might as well pay for the damn console if I have to pay , at least I'll get fucking stable framerates.

Except, dolphin development got exponentially better once it got open source and a lot of people got involved, before that it was just a disaster.

It works okay with a few games, but the rest is just bad, you can't call an emulator "the best" if it can only emulate a few features of the thing it's supposed to be emulating, you can say it's the best wii-u emulator, but the best emulator in modern times is just foolish.

I really don't understand how you children don't understand you can make money while releasing the source code. People who trust that CEMU will release the source code "when they're ready" are fools, they will continue to milk it as long as they're making good money.

Your analogies are shit, not mine. No, the emulator is not like dropbox or usenet, it is like a torrent people have to pay for. The developers made it to emulate pirated games, they know people use the emulator to play wiiU games, that's why it was designed. Nothing wrong with that. Making money off it though, that's fucking retarded. It's like a huge fuck you to all the people who made all those amazing emulators , and not even worth it. What a bunch of shills.
Why don't they make it open source. Oh I know, because then they'd stop making money they clearly don't deserve.
Why don't you fags learn to read ? Emulators are to play dumped roms and there is nothing wrong with that, I'm not against dolphin developers,citra developers, but CemU developers are a bunch of jews and you all fell for it like the good little cucks you are

>>59344128
Actual progress is being made unlike 99.99% of FOSS projects.

Also, there isn't much of a credible argument yet that its main purpose is preservation- if that were so it would be interpreter-only and would basically run nothing. Instead it's JITed to hell and back with a shitton of per-game hacks. Its purpose is to allow users to pirate games, removing the need to either buy the game or buy the console.

I'm not even complaining, it's fun playing MK8 in 1440p. But let's not hide behind false pretences here.

How?

Can you list al its dependencies? Every package it relies on?

>>59355050
I know, but it recommends I uninstall half my system to install a single package.

>>59358074
>progress can't be made in a FOSS project

you're the wrongest person on the planet right now

>>59358173
It's not that there can't be progress, it's that there just isn't progress.

>>59358074

That's irrelevant. PCSX2 and Dolphin are perfect examples of active emulators of modern systems that have tons of development work behind it.

Opening the source means that if the original developers get bored or get hit by a bus, the emulator doesn't die. The N64 and Playstation emulation scene were held back for years because of closed source emulators like Project 64 and EPSXE being "good enough" for piracy, but still broken and buggy.

>>59358173
I said:
>progress is being made unlike 99.99% of FOSS projects
Which you read as:
>progress can't be made in a FOSS project
This misunderstanding is bad enough that I have to assume you legitimately misread me. Maybe English is not your first language, or possibly you have dyslexia or something similar. Please be sure to read posts carefully before you reply to them because it looks like you might have some problems with interpreting information at a glance.

you know how dumb you look right now?

like holy shit, if you're going to lie, tell a lie that can't be debunked in like two seconds.

>>59358248

being technically correct is the dumbest kind of correct.

you are perfectly aware of the implications of what you said, and how people would respond to you, so how about you not play dumb and either address their point or keep your terry-like outbursts to yourself.

>>59349777
it just works on my machine

>>59358168
the specific packages depend on your distro, since different distros have different naming schemes

arch amd64;

Depends On      : lib32-glew  lib32-libaio  lib32-libcanberra
                  lib32-libjpeg-turbo  lib32-nvidia-cg-toolkit  lib32-portaudio
                  lib32-sdl2  lib32-soundtouch  lib32-wxgtk

>>59358248
No, I believe you are new. I clearly said
>progress can't be made in a FOSS project
Which translates to "implying progress can't be made in a FOSS project", which means I was accusing you of IMPLYING the statement, which you were, by claiming that 99.99% of FOSS projects aren't progressing, which are pretty much all of them.So by claiming the above, you indirectly also backed the notion that progress can't be made in a FOSS project, since according to you, 99.99% are not progressing.
How much do you wanna bet you're more than likely autistic, or below average intelligence, to be so sensitive that you lash out on anonymous people with your passive aggressive comments thinking no one notices.
Gee what a cuck.

Thanks!

I'm running Debian Jessie.
Right now I'm purging all i386 packages, removing and then adding the architecture again.

Probably shoudl work, the multiarch page on the debian website syas that it eliminates the need for a chrooted architecture.

Also I'm having the same problems with wine for a long time, can never get it to work because it says that It needs "wine32 but it is not going to be installed".

>>59358427
you have enabled the multilib repos, right?
often they're disabled by default nowadays because fuck all linux software is 32bit-only

>>59358308
>>59358365
I made my "99.99%" statement in good faith with no intention to imply that it is impossible for FOSS projects to progress to incredible heights.

Dolphin is the absolute standout in this regard; it probably has a better management process than the vast majority of commercial software, in fact. It has its own custom CI system that renders frames and reports non-empty diffs to detect regressions! Crazy awesome stuff.

But for every successful project there are thousands more that either never progressed beyond a couple commits from one person, or are bogged down with terrible amateur attempts at project management, or are mired in social justice bullshit, or, or, or. You don't know about these, because you don't care about them, because they never amounted to anything.

If you are starting a project from scratch, going commercial makes it SO much more likely to succeed. You can focus on it full-time as a team in a continuous concentrated effort. You don't need to worry about merging outsider pull requests or engaging the community. You can make a professional project as part of a tight-knit, dedicated team.

However, if multiple people misunderstood my message, I have to concede that it is much more likely that I stated it badly vs readers misinterpreting it. So I'll rescind >>59358248 (Me).

>>59358454
I've ran this:

dpkg --add-architecture i386

>>59358545
>tfw in package dependency hell
I try to install a i386 package na dit shows that it conflicts witht he same amd64 package, and then recommends installing everything that depends on that package.

fuck.

Can't even run wine (nott hat I could earlier).

>get a lease on a property
>you can use it but don't own it
>you have limited rights as a renter
Really makes you think.

>>59351017
If you want the right to do whatever the fuck you want with the game. Just buy the rights from the publisher.
Til then don't bitch about paying $60 for limited rights use.

>>59359168
LXC container, bruh.

>>59344128
>soft paywall with builds leaking to mega daily
it's not the worst that could happen, if anything, it ends in a positive result with devs actually getting help in form of money from normies who are too stupid to google free download

>>59359438
>buying a game means you've leased it

quite a brain tickler

>>59344287
Holy shit that's some weak fucking logic what the fuck.

Literally nothing wrong
>Stolen code
Prove it
>Emulation is piracy
It's not
>It hurts Nintendo
Not my problem

>>59344128
They make 15000 dollars a month.

Why the fuck do they do deserve more money than this?

>>59344128
but it's free?

>>59344149
that ps3 emu is open source AND also has a Patreon.
your point is... dumb.

>>59358210
Except PCSX2 is a broken, buggy piece of shit that still can't run 99% of titles without major glitches. Being open source has done nothing to help it improve. Dolphin is an exception, not the rule.

>>59363612
>that ps3 emu is open source AND also has a Patreon

That currently sits at less than $700 a month, compared to the $16,700 that Cemu's is at. Freetards win again! :^)

>>59362795
Well they make the entire WiiU and now Switch library available for everyone, for free.

hey rabbi watcha doin

>>59363693
It's not getting money cause it's open or not.
It's Zelda mate.

Now RPCS3 demonstrated Demon's Soul running, they will also get more money I guess. But, Zelda is now the shit.

>>59344520
Nah, you can't. Even if they released the source, you'd still be clueless. Mostly because you have no affiliation whatsoever with Nintendo, let alone in a manner that would allow you access to THEIR code, which you'd need to demonstrate any connection between the two.

>>59362620
Do you think they care? The project is already free, patreons just get new build 1 week early and it's usually worse because it's filled with bugs that they fix when releasing to the public
