What game is that? Always wanted to play it
Sam & Max Hit the Road! It's awesome.
Sam & Max Hit The Road
Sam and Max Hit the Road is a great adventure game. I played it recently for the first time. Recommended.
Only thing surprising is that it took this long for it to happen. Everyone else knew that there would be immediate forks made but seems they took a month to catch up to speed with the internet.
Nintendo is not an internet savvy company. You can tell by how they implement online gaming features like "friend codes" and pushing everything to a phone app for communication (Splatoon).
Should I be the one mentioning that Steam integrated friend codes?
And it's not an old feature...
What's different here is that it's an option and not the only method.
It also actually makes it significantly easier to find someone when their user name happens to be the same as 5000 other people.
It’s the best option though, can’t think of any other method you would want to use
I think it's by design, not because they're stupid. They saw those forks right away and decided to let them get settled in and comfortable, and then removed them. Knowing that the hammer will come down eventually is really demoralizing. Knowing it'll come down right away means you can test the waters and see how it goes without much personal investment.
I have backup on my self hosted git :D
Do you have the last released version? I stupidly never downloaded my fork and would love a copy.
i mean, you don't need to host a git server lol, you can just download a compressed archive of the repo.
You can also clone it locally without a server. Depends on whether you want to archive the repo or just use the product.
Btw Suyu hosts a full backup of Yuzu (and other stuff like Ryujinx or Dolphin in case it gets taken down at some point) on their Forgejo instance
It's also available via Tor as an onion site: http://suyudev2qxj5x7mroamgwf4hqunz4pups27z2kl77x4ioqhh5yhpshad.onion/
considering downloading the roms of my games out of spite
Download the roms of not your games too!
Is it technically possible to have the emulator work without the use of the prod.keys ?
My understanding is the prod keys are required to tell the software (e.g. games) that it is running on an authorised device and passes certain checks / DRM.
To run the software without prod keys would require (I think) patching each game individually to skip those checks. So it could be possible but wildly impractical unless some other work around is found.
But it could be something that the user has to provide, like the BIOS in PS emulators for exemple
Yeah for sure, I think the user had to provide keys in the latest Yuzu anyway?
It was donation builds with support for tears of the kingdom before released that screwed the project. The code itself was legal afaik.
I wonder when would ryujinx get hit next.
Rumor has it that Yuzu and all of its derivatives violated the DMCA in a way that Ryujinx did not, in that Yuzu was allegedly developed inappropriately using proprietary information from Switch SDKs, where Ryujinx is doing it legit via "clean room" reverse engineering. So Ryujinx is likely safe, but anything using Yuzu code is legally poison.
