Nintendo deserves only the worst for killing yuzu and ryujinx

[–] [email protected] 25 points 1 day ago

Oh no!

Anyways, is that new Palworld island any good

Time to clone mewtwo

I'm waiting in for the headline in a couple days or so:

Another hack at Gamefreak: Hackers upload fixed source codes

Unknown hackers have fixed the frame rate issues while upgrading the graphics quality to the level of the earliest Switch titles like Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 day ago

Lol, but Game Freak's code is spaghetti, to the point where decomps are easier to read than the actual source files.

[–] ChapulinColorado 18 points 2 days ago

Forgot: “Nintendo is suing all of them!”

[–] [email protected] 13 points 1 day ago (1 children)

lets go, hope now we get to play these pokemon games on PC

[–] [email protected] 11 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Do you mean natively? Cause the alternative already exists heavily

[–] [email protected] 2 points 19 hours ago (1 children)

I tried searching for the new scarlet and violet games, most videos on yt were clickbait... Or I am just bad at searching

[–] [email protected] 1 points 14 hours ago

So for the rom and emulation side of things the mainline one was YUZU but it got shut down from Nintendo a couple months ago. They were trading and selling that new Zelda game before it came out.

As far as downloading roms, Nintendo is always looking for new sites to shut down that are hosting their IP so good luck. I'm sure there are some piracy reddit and Lemmy resources out there that could help.

As for native PC playing, I doubt in our life times Nintendo will ever release their games on PC.

This is, reportedly, a comment under, reportedly, a post

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 day ago

The leak was confirmed a few hours after the post was made, so it's not just based on reports anymore.

[–] Psythik 37 points 2 days ago (1 children)

AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

You get what you fucking deserve, Nintendo.

[–] argarath 9 points 1 day ago

Not even close to enough but at least it's a start!!

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 day ago

Next headline "Hackers disappointed that the hacked source code is apparently just the same as the last 16 games"

Terabytes of the same game, just in different colors.

[–] HowManyNimons 27 points 2 days ago

Sort of. The same game, over and over, each time in a different colour, each time with a higher pixel density, each time a little bit worse.

The people who will be most happy to have it would be the wiimmfi team and the devs running pokemon classic network.

They can finally see what the implementation of gen 5 ranked battles and game sync was, instead of having to reverse engineer it all.

Everyone else is probably only interested in asset data, Nintendo switch 2, or finding exploits for homebrew lol.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 day ago

No romhacker or homebrew developer worth their salt will touch any of this. Using leaked material is legally significantly more dangerous than REing. I look forward to seeing the TCRF pages, though.

[–] atocci 3 points 1 day ago (1 children)

They can't use this code at all, it would be a surefire way to get the project shut down. Reverse engineering is the only way to operate something like that legally.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 day ago (1 children)

They can see how it's done and code their own thing. They don't have to cut and paste the code, just know how its done.

[–] AlotOfReading 3 points 1 day ago

Cleanroom RE is how you prove that's what you did to a court. The point is to avoid into a courtroom with Nintendo at all, making the point moot.

[–] Wolfram 100 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago) (8 children)

Good. Couldn't have happened to a worse company other than Nintendo.

Now people can verify if Gamefreak's excuses for not including all Pokemon in each game since the Switch games are real. And verify how low effort their games are.

[–] HowManyNimons 33 points 2 days ago (3 children)

Nintendo aren't the worst company. Not even the worst gaming company. Not when they have competition like Ubisoft and Warner Brothers and EA and Activision.

Of course, if it weren't for the presence of the aforementioned companies, Nintendo would be the worst.

[–] yamanii 11 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

As bad as they are, EA isn't sending lawyers to every fan project that revives their old games, they are just regular greedy, not petty greedy. Ubisoft to this day ignores Rayman Redemption too.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 day ago

I'd say they're not even the worst of the big three console manufacturers. The stuff Microsoft and Sony do to the gaming industry is just as bad, but that's ignoring that they both have their fingers in a lot of other technological pies where they do some really bad shit.

[–] Pieisawesome 26 points 2 days ago (8 children)

I mean they take like 33% of that guy named bowser’s life earnings. Which are severely reduced because they also got him thrown in jail for a felony.

That’s pretty uniquely evil

I mean, people have already created the majority of their good games from scratch so...

[–] Xanis 26 points 2 days ago

Oh I promise you that isn't the point.

[–] betterdeadthanreddit 77 points 2 days ago (6 children)

Somebody had to find out whether there really was a Mew under the truck in Red and Blue after all.

Patent the code and sue Nintendo when they release the game.

[–] [email protected] 50 points 2 days ago (2 children)

You can't patent code, and it's automatically copyright protected. Nintendo just needs to prove they wrote the code originally, which should be easy.

In my head this is a retribution for financing hackers that attacked Internet Archive and nobody can convince me otherwise

Don't nobody want that trash codebase.

[–] [email protected] 43 points 2 days ago (13 children)

Hobbyists have made Pokemon clones in their basement for decades. They never needed the source code.

If I'm not mistaken, there's an entire online RPG ran by hobbyists.

[–] Etterra 13 points 2 days ago

It's not about the code. It's about sending a message.
