A pair of degenerates thieves are now legally making 300k/year.

I'm benefiting off of it and it costs me nothing
Doesn't make me feel any different than the existence of any other emulator desu

>>372069739
Makes me feel good. Emulators are a vital part of archival efforts for video games and I have a ton of respect for people who work on archiving media, especially in light of corporation's efforts to block them from preserving history in the name of theoretical future profits.

>giving your money to strangers online with the promise of 'X'

This is bordering on twitch donation levels of stupid

>>372069739
nintendo will sue them honestly.

i pirate and emulate as much as the next guy but to make money off of it is just asking for you to get fucked up.

It's a legal service that's in demand and it's not like they don't do work.
Kinda sucks for Nintendo, but I'm not Nintendo so I don't really care.

>>372070416
It's not illegal
It's legal until you use Nintendo's code, bios, data, etc.

Emulation was never illegal unless you used protected code

DAILY REMINDER THAT WHILE EMULATING MAY BE A LEGAL GREY AREA AND TECHNICALLY LEGAL, DOWNLOADING ROMS IS NOT LEGAL. IF YOU WANT TO PLAY GAMES ON YOUR EMULATOR YOU WILL HAVE TO BUY THE GAMES OR REVERSE ENGINEER THOSE TOO

THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME

>>372069739
what did they steal?

because you legit stole that artwork.

Nothing wrong with emulation. I use PCSX2 to play ISOs of my own copies of PS2 games.

I'm totally willing to buy Breath of the Wild for Wii U legally, but I'm not buying a Wii U or Switch when my PC could play those games.

>>372070416
Emulators aren't illegal.
It's like how you can't really arrest or stop a person who you see stuffing a bunch of shit in their pants in a store, because even though you and everyone else knows what's he's doing, you can't do anything until you actually see them leave the store.

Nothing has been stolen.
The software is EMULATING the hardware

As much as you want to don't want to believe it there is nothing illegal happening and that's why >>372069950 Nintendo CAN'T sue them

Emulators aren't made for pirating software you can literally use an emulator to devlope software and hardware for the console you are emulating. You can use an emulator to play games you've legally bought. I do it with my PS2 games.

The only thing that actually IS illegal is distributing the rom/iso of a game on the internet which CEMU doesn't do.

There is nothing stopping someone from ripping the files from their legit BotW cart and playing it on CEMU. That's 100% legal to do.

So stop being a bunch of uninformed bitter losers and deal with it.
You don't know shit about anything and that's exactly why you're the one being mad about other people being successful.

Nintendo will shut down CEMU anytime now. Just wait I'm in contact with Nintendo.

Why do people care for an emulator of an console that isn't produced anymore?

>>372070882
Proove it.

>>372070724
The reality is that illegal rom distribution will skyrocket after this is finished, and that is what 99% of the people donating to these guys are interested in. So the illegal aspect of this cannot be ignored, and laws can change as soon as someone (Nintendo) pushes it.

>>372070903
Seems pretty smart actually, the shittier a library the more you need an emulator so you don't have to buy the dogshit console in order to play the 1-2 games in the entire library that are decent.

>>372070882

>>372071034

think about all that money nintendo would make if they weren't so dedicated to trying to rape their fanbase on cheap hardware

>>372071097
Wrong. It is closed source to have a patreon up you fuckwit.

>>372071026
Because it emulates Zelda. JUST BUY A FUCKING SWITCH ALREADY.

>>372071136
more likely they will make it run BotW as optimized as possible, ignoring compatibility with all other games and continue game-specific strategies as new titles come out

>>372071050
>Prohibition was a successful movement
It doesn't technically matter if it becomes illegal, most people that play emulators are lonely virgins with nothing to lose in life anyway, if they try to sue me over it they will waste more money on the court proceedings than they will get from me even if they seize the entirety of my wealth, which is close to nothing, and I do not now nor will I ever work so they will never have a future source of income from me, either. This is likely going to be a very common problem that they would run into, and in the end it would just become yet another unenforced law in our overbloated system.

>>372071097
Dolphin was closed source, PCSX2 was closed source.

It isn't a Zelda BotW emulator, it's a Wii U emulator and Nintendo stopped producing those.

>>372071445
Yeah, that was the point. 3DS actual emulation would be much better.

>>372071249
right, but make it open source and you get better, faster development without the hassle of having to set up a stable income channel to do it yourself.

unless... there are perhaps certain legal obligations that prevent it from doing so...?

>>372071462
Kind of a big thing some years ago, all over the media.

>>372070965
That's not what I'm comparing, I'm comparing how in both situations the precursor to a crime is something completely legal, even though there's generally one path that legal action will take.
In the emulation case, downloading the emulator is legal, and pirating games on it is illegal, but everyone knows 99% of people who download are going to use it for that.
And in the shoplifting case, stuffing stuff into your pocket is legal, and leaving the store with it isn't, but 99% of people who do that are going to leave the store without paying for it.

Fine by me. If other people who somehow get access to development papers and can make functional emulators for more recent systems, or even improve other ones like PS2 (which I guess isn't too big of a deal, it's in a pretty good spot right now), or N64, I'd be willing to turn a blind eye to the fact it's closed source. I mean, zsnes and project64 were closed source and those were the best emulators on the market for a long time.

>>372071749
but if you're that good you wouldn't need to beg for shekels on the internet to finance some shady product to begin with, just makes no sense

It's a temporary only build, so I don't think there's much precedent for nintendo getting a lawsuit out. The second they get served with papers they can remove that part of it and just release the updates directly to the public without the patreon period.

Lemme tell you something, 'bro'...

Killing someone, is degenerate.
Raping or cucking someone, is degenerate.
Suing someone with the intent of ruining his life, is degenerate.

Making legal software, is NOT!

In case you were born in the 2000s, the bleem! case made emulation legal.

Instead you spend $2000+$5 monthly Patreon to play first 10 minutes of BotW in glorious 10fps.

There is nothing illegal with emulation. Videogames are just a long string of bytes and there is nothing against any law saying you can't make software that uses those bytes in an incredibly similar way to another piece of software/hardware.

Does it run well?

>>372072102
I do, it's a great console but I don't use the 3D because it fucks the battery in the ass and has a gameplay use in Super Mario 3D Land and maybe a few other games. Otherwise it's just there to make things look nice.

They are not.

1.They are making money from the ability to play wii u games on a pc, not the ips themselves. And at the end the emu is still free, if you want to play it THAT badly, wait that fucking week!

2. Nintendo cant do nothing cuz cemu uses its own code, anyone who says it uses stolen code or stolen nintendo docs is a troll.

3. If nintendo always had the power to shut down emu software, they could have done it AEONS ago. And yet they dont.

>>372072870
Not to mention that most devs stopped giving a fuck about using the 3D in any creative ways a year or two after the console's release.
Games like Etrian Odyssey, Dragon Quest or Monster Hunter barely use it in a way that makes it worth using and Pokemon can't even use it most of the time.

Which is what Sony did in its time against PS1 emulation (see Sony Computer Entertainment, Inc. v. Connectix Corp). Sony lost lost, but proved that it doesn't matter that you're in the wrong as long as you can abuse the judicial system to kill the competition.

Don't know how well things will work this time now there is a precedent.

Emulators are legal as long as you don't sell them.
By putting it on a patreon they are basically putting a monetary value on it and that's a red flag.

>>372073096
You can always argue that in court but the way I see it Nintendo can sue, and when they see that it both badly affects them AND it's stealing too much of their profits they WILL sue and they have a good case.

They could sue claiming that CEmu uses their code from a Wii U dev kit, but it's not worth it for them since BotW is pretty much last big Wii U game and even if they did start the court process now it's too late to stop that.

these and Wind Waker & NSMB are the only games I'd say run at an 'acceptable' level on cemu, but even then there are odd graphical and sound issues and odd crashes.

Pretty much everything else runs like crap or is garbage to play because of errors. And new versions of cemu don't always fix or improve how these games run, but can actually make them worse and introduce new problems.

But because everyone is jumping on the cemu wagon purely because of Zelda, that's what the devs will focus on and string people along for as long as possible to milk them for as much as they can. Improvements for other games will just be left to rot.

The release of Zelda has been like cancer for Cemu. Have fun playing a glitchy, inferior version for the next year or so as the devs string you along and promise that the *next* update in 2-3 months will fix things.

I'm honestly thought CEMU would run like total dog shit with my specs. I'm actually surprised by the level of performance it's capable of, when consider the Wii-U is still not officially dead.

I was under the impression that emulation happens years after the console has passed on, and was told the only reason Dolphin moved as fast as it did was because it shared a lot of the same architecture as the gamecube.

Technology is making it *less* necessary than ever. It's keeping the money in the hands of the great fortunes that make the changes necessary, when we could be making changes that open a more competitive market where actual creators are better paid at the expense of capital owners, while giving better access to people too.

Given lobbying is done in the name of people that have money, it's more the changes that support the obsolete current model's survival that are being supported right now.

>>372074702

>>372075036
As long as the devs can milk the monthly donations

It's a bad precedent and with the ps3 emulation team also picking up money-grubbing tactics it won't be long before more features get put behind paywalls for emulation teams that have realized they can get lots of money for this kind of shit

If I'm pirating it should be for free. I don't want to have to choose between giving my money to a jewish game company or giving it to a jewish emulation team.

Personally I prefer hacking systems or using flash carts anyway, don't have to wait for emulation to progress to where all games work. Dolphin is a great emulator but still not perfect.

>>372069739
it's annoying as fuck and I dont understand how they're legally allowed to be doing this

What I don't get is why don't they sell licensed emulators built around the already existing stores like PSN and whatever microshit uses. They sell consoles at a loss already so why don't they just spend a few bux making an emulator that can run off of disks or bought digitally through their store? I wouldn't mind paying a 1 time fee or even sub based, that's before paying for online. The streaming shit PS is doing is one step closer to that reality but that sucks unless you got good internet, we already saw how bad OnLive tanked.

>>372069879

Because it's a difficult system to emulate and because the N64 emulation scene is a mess of poor co-operation and half-finished plugins.

Most emulators have an interpreter. Mednafen-psx has a particularly good one. PCSX2 has a software more which is the same sort of thing.
The reason we have recompilers is to run stuff fast enough to be playable, since software rendering is much slower than hardware rendering.

The status quo of what? It's funny how you're presenting what amounts to lobbying against already recognized provisional protections from intellectual property "keeping the status quo".

So yeah, I agree, it's the status quo that the problem, it's intellectual property laws as they exist right now - state enforced protectionism that fail spectacularly in meetings up their constitutional mandate, and are totally outdated as far as technology is concerned.

I don't think trying to maintain existing protection against those is anything particularly bad.

Dolphin is trash and can still not run Windwaker properly. Dolphin has DENIED people with SOURCE CODE to come together to create a more accurate Gamecube Emulator by even the littlest of hints, and they pride themselves in this. For the past half-decade they've neglected the Windows versions of Dolphin and focused on Android because that's where the money lies. (yes they do make money off of the Android version)

Dolphin is shit because it's polarizing the community that wants an actual accurate and low-cpu heavy emulator made by people with the source code.

Honestly it makes me feel sickened and disgusted. Those games are supposed to be for Wii U owners and not pirates on a different platform who are NOT OUT THERE TO SUPPORT NINTENDO. You have to understand that Nintendo has been doing not so well with the Wii U compared to the rest so they should be a temporary exception until the Switch catches up to Wii levels and Nintendo dominates the scene again.

It should ONLY BE OKAY if Nintendo can stand on their feet and generate profit without worrying about pirates on PC. But right now they need all the support they can muster. So for fucks sake just get a Switch (or Wii U) and leave emulation development postponed until the damn thing is a success.

Not sure why you're specifying a particular handheld. They're all imitations at best for poor people that can't afford the real deal

>>372069879
>archival efforts
>closed source
pkeks, everyone

>>372076554
but the best experience of the game is on the Switch...

>>372069879
Yeah, archival purposes.

Please, call me retard more. It's a win win, I'm getting the responses I want from you and you think you're winning.

Except the costs of the legal battle bankrupted them. Which is exactly what would happen to the CEMU team if they tried the same.

There is nothing morally wrong with pirating Wii U games.
Prove me wrong faggots, you fucking can't.

>>372076437
They've had 13 years to work on that, and it's still not up to scratch. CEMU are making huge strides all the time and how long have they been going? A year and a half?

>>372076821
again, the Switch offers things the emulator doesn't.

I also have a 1070 you wretched poorfiend

Sorry senpai

>>372076484
No no no, the lobbyist lobby for keeping the status quo, not against keeping it, the judicial system has in recent years gone against the status quo because most precedent made by the courts are inapplicable to the changing times.

Dolphin was closed source too for a time

>>372070724
Actually Nintendo can absolutely take them to court if they want.

>>372076882

>what is a couch?

something not usually in front of a desk... don't tell me you unironically use a PC in your living room, do you?

No they can't. The question of emulation has already been settled. Nintendo would have to come up with a new reason to litigate, and there really isn't one.
If Nintendo tried suing them the judge would probably award summary judgment to the cemu guys.

>>372077157
not an argument

>>372069739
how are they thieves

are they actually ripping off nintendos code?

>>372077073
>Using a PC to play games or watch movies in the living room is now wrong
????

>>372077207
I'm not saying they would win, I'm just saying there's technically nothing stopping them from filing a lawsuit.

>>372069739
is that crack still working?

>>372077317
They could file it but the judge would toss it out and possibly reprimand their lawyers for wasting the court's time.

>>372076831
Can the Switch output 4k and stable 30fps?

Problem with the CEmu is that the monthly payment scheme is going to slow down the releases.

Why give people an update that gives them 60+fps and losing the monthly payments when you can just split it into 10 smaller updates each giving a small fps increase and release them every 3 or so weeks and keep getting those payments.

>pay for this patreon
>pay for an emulator
>pay so you don't have to buy videogames
>pay for something borderline illegal so you don't have to pay for it legally
i don't understand this mentality, what's the point? if you want to play zelda, don't donate money to some guys patreon, use that money to buy zelda instead.

The judicial system follows the law. And the law for the past decades have been changed more and more to strengthen the hold of the outdated model - because it cannot survive any other way in face of technological progress.
As much as individual judges may try to protect public interest, they are limited by the law itself.

Not to mention, as BLEEM! exemplifies all too well, you can be in the right, have your right recognized by the judicial system, and still be crushed out of existence by the economical realities of it.
All as a part of the strategy of the people in the wrong that attacked you.
