I hope this doesn't spread out towards other emulators just as a matter of "principle" (by Nintendo's definition)

This is why I keep a physical backup of all my emulator installers on an external hard drive. They get rid of some emulators, I still got my personal copies!

Yeah I've been playing Pokemon Sacred Gold on my phone, really gives me GBC pipes with the size and everything it's like childhood all over.

I have the emulator and the games on my pc and my phone though so fuck Nintendo.

I'm playing a 15 year old game someone improved upon that I already owned on hardware I can't buy anymore.

Yeah totally worried for Ryujinx. I don’t see how they can survive.

If Nintendo stays consistent, they went after Yuzu because they were accepting donations. They went after ROM sites that had advertising. They left everyone else alone if they aren't making money off their games. Right now Ryujinx has a Patreon page...
