Majora's Mask is the latest to benefit, but N64 Recompiled works with nearly all N64 games.

      I don’t think it’s possible to takedown a project that doesn’t use any proprietary code. You have to supply your own rom.

        That’s what happened to yuzu

          What happened to Yuzu was that they were making $20,000-$30,000 in monthly revenue, for an emulator that would “technically” be competing with the current hardware.

          Thats where they fucked up, in my opinion.

            I mean, yes the yuzu team did have problems with the money scheme and openly playing games before their release, but the fact that even forks by people who had no connection to the devs got taken down shows that Nintendo can take down any project they want, regardless of if it contains proprietary code

          Not exactly. A big reason for them being sued is for circumventing Switch’s encryption.

                Security vulnerabilities are usually tagged as CVE and then some number. So the other dude is basically saying enjoy the security vulnerabilities.

                  Oh I thought there was some other CVE acronym I was unaware of. I don’t think periodically git cloning a repo every few days would be something to worry about. Ever since the Yuzu take down I got in the habit of mirroring a bunch of repos that I’d be very sad to lose, just as a precaution, it probably won’t matter, but it’s a tiny peace of mind knowing I could at the very least compile it myself if it was lost.

                I, quite bluntly, see no good reason to advise an internet stranger on their security practices when they can learn for themselves.

                Give a man a fish, he eats for a day. But I’ve no time to teach strangers the beginnings of fishing, let alone what they need know in order to fish safely.

                  You’re not even giving him a fish let alone teaching him how to fish. Just bitching and moaning about kids these days not knowing how to fish

        Haven’t read the article but it says “recompiled into native PC ports” so these aren’t ROMs, they’re actual Windows .exes and Linux binaries.

          As I understand it, they’re bring your own ROM. Like a standardized scaffold to put upgrades like widescreen and RTX and mods onto the building that Nintendo sells or rather sold.
