What is defined as copy here? Cartridge data (game data, not firmware etc) is encrypted and can only be accessed by a protocol that is like spi, but is proprietary, by a specific chip running nintendo code. Or is a copy a full backup of everything on the chip?
Is the copy a raw copy? Has the data been modified/decrypted/or any algorithm processed it?
These things define wether a copy falls under this or not. Check what the fineprint or laws defines what ’ a copy’ is exactly in this case.
If it doesnt, what i mentioned are important to see if what yoy said apply here or not.

Like @DarkMetatron@feddit.org said, its only legal if nothing is done with the data. Any decryption using a nintendo key is infact, illegal, and falls under piracy.

This is why dolphin was removed from steam, because they do exactly that. Decrypt the data to use it.

If the process of dumping does any encryption or decryption, you also get in trouble in what they said.

These are the laws, and the lawyer you asked this too must not have been specialised in ip law, copyright and games, or doesnt know the technical details to decide on this.

The chip uses a proprietary protocol to send data of a partly, semi decrypted, game image. That will not go well in court, no matter if the rom was obtained legally.

Oh thank god, i thought i was insane for hearing yarrey

They dont know wtf they are going to cause. We are the highway connecting the sea with europe, connecting north east europe with south west ( netherlands, germany and france together ). Poland? Ye that passes us. Spain, bet your arse. Germany? Netherlands?
Yuuuuppp.

Our roads are already filled to a god damn brim, if you stop everyone for border controls they are insane. Even more road rage and traffic jams, nice!
And yes, our airplanes have border controls…

Interesting writeup with some interesting techniques. I should read these some more

Even if that is legal (it isnt), but it will be circumvention of encryption at worst and recreation of protected algorithms, code and keys in a non-nintendo product at best ( and thats before talking about game cartridge content ).
Last i checked that is still illegal hehe

Yes, but it was only a few games when they were played/used on flashcarts before the game released :p
Happened with phantasy star zero iirc
It was also not nintendo’s choice but the game devs. So it was game bound, not console bound

Same. I agree that people are too stupid to know what apps they should use. But that also includes those using some of apples closed down, limited apps and features haha

And diablo 1 has devilution ( or whatever the name was ), which is cross platform and works fiiiine

Wait, that works now? Ive seen the project few years ago but it wasnt good enough then. Awesome! I have to build that at home ^^

Some.of them are still locked up too, no?

Danke!

Even today i find it important as the knowledge of how things work is vanishing and many just accept it works. But how will we build upon an idea if everyone forgets how it works?
There is also the idea within software that layers of bodgework upon one another creates overcomplex and unstable software. Thats everything but software you want to ship.
I understand you dont want all hobby work to reach professional levels, specially if youre trying something new! Thats ok!

Its just once you reach a certain level things have to change to make it not suck, dont build on that :')
Also one of the reasons i dont like retroarch.
But i will accept they fill a need that is very much wanted and needed by people and there isnt really anything like it

I get that, but imo thats dangerous. I will admit i live for tech and i get the basics of it all but understanding it is imo important when changing such settings because it can create other issues too.

But maybe im not the correct person to remark on this because i have a distaste for retroarch :p

I find this kinda… Bullshit.
Bluetooth controller’s lag does not get lowered by turning on game mode on your tv. All you did was lower the response time of your tv to display the image quicker ( by turning off some image processing ). Your bluetooth controller will still lag lol.

As for the settings in retroarch, that could change when it’ll process the input and can lower the lag, but without a list of the settings, im calling bs there too.

Edit: frame delay? Really? That will just delay the frame so its more in sync with input because input processing is not in sync. Nice one

It was announced in may on microsoft build event ^^
I call it nano for windows haha

Suppose and what is in its power is a different thing. Imo federal law, just like eu law, should be law that all members must implement but should only be made for the better of the population as a whole, no matter their origins, social status, living status or whatever. Humanity goes first (oh no! Socialism aaaahhhh!! /s). One could say that those laws are interstate matters btw :p

But has usa really been setup for federal level laws to mean… Nothing for the states and its people…?

Maybe you should read what i said. I was playing devil’s advocate to make people think about the other side, thats what that means.

And i dont bloody agree with facists, seriously

Let me be devil’s advocate here for a sec.
Yes it is. Unless a federal law breaks any federal law, international laws, treaties or human rights its latterly the highest level of law in a democratic country in this modern world.

(And also, i agree with the major. If your community thrives or immigrants fills gaps in the community then fucking let them. Your community is better for it)

Oh im not saying its perfect or any good, just saying what the logic was :p

I personally use both azerty and qwerty lol

Yes, because in french you need the special characters more often than numbers
