the emulation moment we've all waited for is upon us https://twitter.com/TygerbugGarrett/status/1760020044069908912?s=20 We actually had this in our house for a short time, along with the Disney Cartoon Arcade tape. I have a vague memory of seeing the ghosts pop up on screen during the haunted house section but beyond that my only other memory of the console is finding it in a box in our basement when I was about 10 or so and wondering what the hell it was E: this odd thing here:

It would be nice if Nintendo or some other big console player was cool about diy projects. Just sell me the OS license and let me figure out my hardware.

I think, similar to pcsx and pcsxr, someone may loosely maintain a fork that can be built on modern systems. Maybe not Windows, MacOS or Android though. It'll just take time to settle on what fork ends up being more stable. It might be associated with libretro though.

In this specific case Yuzu was selling access to pre-release game updates for their emulator so it's a bit different than just attacking emulation, though of course who knows where Nintendo goes from here. I only emulate Bayonetta 2 because it runs better on emulator and decided to not bother with pretty much any other game til Switch was EOL but losing 3DS stuff sucks even tho I have a 3DS because there's no way to buy the games digitally anymore and console/game prices are not exactly great right now.

Now they may still DMCA the forks for whatever reason because they're Nintendo and that's what they do, but there's a straightforward defense against any claims of infringement with the emulators themselves.

I'm considering picking up a 3DS eventually for that purpose.I'm not sure I agree with axeing Citra because Nintendo ended 3DS support years ago. A paywalled emulator for a current console still on the market? That poo poo shouldn't exist at all.

Ofecks posted:3DS games are available via I understand that and have a new 3DS XL and DSi XL specifically because I don't find emulating a dual screen thing to feel very good, but right now the 3DS family is all incredibly overpriced on eBay and the like. I think JP consoles are cheaper overall but still overpriced for how popular the console was and how many are out there. It does look like the prices are starting to come down at least, though, which is good. I definitely notice other games having slowdown and not having a consistent 30 FPS on Switch but those don't bother me near as much as something like a character action game like Bayo 2 having slowdown and inconsistent FPS. I'll definitely switch over to emulating everything at some point but at least for now I'll stick with buying games on Switch to play on there tho it wasn't too hard to get my Bayo 2 game and save over to PC since my Switch is old enough to hack.

ExcessBLarg! posted:Tropic Haze LLC owes Nintendo $2.4 million, which they clearly don't have. If the settlement itself doesn't include transfer of assets, then Nintendo will inevitably acquire them when Tropic Haze declares bankruptcy. The code is under the GPL isn't it? It's relevant because anyone else can pick it up and make a new version.

If its actually GPL, I don't think there is actually a way for Nintendo to do that, especially considering its a settlement. They can make all the claims they want about how its illegal but GPL can't be revoked.

 I for one am shocked … Shocked that our current generation emulator would be used for piracy. SHOCKED! And I am very VERY disappointed in you, our userbase. Seriously they formed an LLC (named after a strain of weed) around this? That’s just giving Nintendo a neck to strangle. Coffee Jones fucked around with this message at 06:56 on Mar 6, 2024 |

If they hadn't, Nintendo could have sued each of the individual developers, at least those who seemed complicit in the patreon-for-early-patches scheme. Having been partner in a now-bankrupt LLC is infinitely better than being on the hook personally for millions of dollars.

ExcessBLarg! posted:It wouldn't be a claim based on infringement, but one based on anti-circumvention, because the original authors admitted its purpose is anti-circumvention. I still don't think there is any way the copyright to the emulator code could be transferred to Nintendo as part of a settlement. They could have had it awarded to them as part of a judgement in case it had gone to court, perhaps, but then they would have had to prove that the code was actually infringing on their copyrights. As in, the emulator code was identical to, or based on, code that is part of the Nintendo Switch software. I don't believe that's the case, and so they could not possibly have won that copyright. IANAL etc. Most likely, the code still belongs to the authors but they are forbidden by the settlement contract from distributing it either themselves or as their LLC. If so, anyone who has a copy of the code is free to fork the project and continue development. With great caution, presumably. Maybe, if the next maintainer doesn't do stupid poo poo like charge money for it, they could be lucky and survive?

Some time ago I asked about fixing crackling in SNES emulators, today I fixed it! By changing the frequency from 48000hz to 44100hz, which is the opposite of every advice I've seem on the internet. I don't understand, and I don't care. I'm just happy the problem's fixed!

Glad that worked for you! Which did you change, though? Windows setting or emulator setting? For the former, I have the "default format" on my mobo audio-out set to 24-bit 96khz, but I think my USB headset only goes up to 48khz. RetroArch is set to 48khz (is that the default value?) and I haven't noticed any major issues using the dsound driver.

Ofecks posted:Glad that worked for you! Which did you change, though? Windows setting or emulator setting? If you’re using a USB headset, it contains its own DAC. So it shouldn’t make any difference what you set your mobo audio-out to; it’s not part of the signal path. In my mind, it would make sense to match the frequencies of the emulator and the DAC you’re using. That way, there is no resampling and thus less risk of audio artifacts.

With Nintendo online access shutting down tomorrow for 3DS, might there be any possibility for still playing Animal Crossing New Leaf online / visiting other players through emulation? Any possible solutions on native hardware?

Not sure if this question would be better here or the Steam Deck thread, but... Where do I shove the "cheat.db" file for use with PSP games, when running them through RetroArch on the Steam Deck? I know where it goes on Windows, for the standalone PPSSPP client, but I'm not sure where it goes on the Deck/for RetroArch. I tend to use RA for its really good RetroAchievements integration, but I suppose I can use the standalone emulator in this case since the retro-cheevos won't work for this game anyway. (trying to play Fate/Extra with the PerfectPatch+, but its been heavily recommended that I use some cheats to nullify the apparently atrocious combat system)

Retroarch has a built in cheat searcher that you can enable via the options. Only works in certain cores tho. It’s not the best and can lock up RetroArch pretty easily.
