This is a meritless case contrived purely for harassment. Emulation software has survived these challenges several times over.

United States

As computers and global computer networks continued to advance and become more popular, emulator developers grew more skilled in their work, the length of time between the commercial release of a console and its successful emulation began to shrink. Fifth generation consoles such as Nintendo 64, PlayStation and sixth generation handhelds, such as the Game Boy Advance, saw significant progress toward emulation during their production. This led to an effort by console manufacturers to stop unofficial emulation, but consistent failures such as Sega v. Accolade 977 F.2d 1510 (9th Cir. 1992), Sony Computer Entertainment, Inc. v. Connectix Corporation 203 F.3d 596 (2000), and Sony Computer Entertainment America v. Bleem 214 F.3d 1022 (2000), have had the opposite effect, which has ruled that emulators, developed through clean room design, are legal. The Librarian of Congress, under the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA), has codified these rules as allowed exemptions to bypass technical copyright protections on console hardware. However, emulator developers cannot incorporate code that may have been embedded within the hardware BIOS, nor ship the BIOS image with their emulators.

I mean you could also play the pirated game on a hacked switch so nintendo should sue themselves

My dad works for Nintendo and he says they suck ass.

Uh oh

I guess Nintendo wants to create some new legal precedents

All right fuck it I'll start pirating nintendo shit out of principle. How do I do that, I have a steam deck and a regular PC in addition to a switch

It is always morally acceptable to pirate Nintendo games.

The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom 7/10

Zelda Tears of the Kingdom already sold 18.51 million copies by the end of June

"Latest The Legend of Zelda game sells like cake"

Tears of the Kingdom broke into the top ten best-selling first-party titles on Nintendo Switch, entering the ranking in ninth place:

So you claim emulators hurt your sales by allowing people to play a week before release, yet because in part of the checks notes (7/10 ratings) it managed to achieve a top 10 of all time sales.

Looking at some of the Discord quotes from the lead dev Nintendo quoted here I fully understand and empathise why the PCSX2 devs you out of existence if you say anything about ROMs

if this actually goes somewhere and it gets scrubbed off the internet i have a backup of the files so feel free to DM me

Abolish private property, art should belong to the people.

Aw, naw, the NARCs, man!

I've really been dragging my feet to jailbreak my Wii so I don't have to pay $300 for Colosseum. Granted, I don't game all that much these days, so I at least have my reasons.

Two words: Fuck Nintendo
