Might as well link to it:

You need to supply your own ROM of the correct version.I will honestly never understand why people link shit articles instead
They might be former users of FARK, where submitting stories didn’t allow duplicate links? And so you would see the top article in the aggregator frequently being blog links and some right weird ‘news’ websites.
Lemmy has the opposite problem, where the same link can be posted again and again even on the same instance, of course.
Let me know when Diddy Kong Racing’s done. GOAT.
Nintendo cease and disist in 3…2…1…
Probably not, they don’t provide copyrighted files and Nintendo reeeeeaaaally doesn’t want to create precedent that decomp is fair use (which it probably is) which could make emulators 100% legal.
Emulators ARE 100% legal.
It’s the roms that are illegal.
Which is pretty fucked up logic.
Not really; The emulator doesn’t use any copyrighted code, but the ROM is copyrighted. That’s just basic IP law.
What is fucked up logic is Nintendo encrypting their ROMs, then providing decryption keys on the console. So the emulator itself is legal, but actually booting a ROM requires decrypting it, which requires keys from a legitimate console. Nintendo has argued that those keys are illegal to use in an emulator, even if the user rips them directly from the console that they own. So you have the keys. You own the console they’re stored on. But it’s illegal to use those keys anywhere except on the console they came on, because Nintendo said so.
Because US DMCA law has provisions in it about copyright circumvention. Same thing led to the “you can’t repair your own John Deere tractor” debacle.
Why do you say that?
It’s like being handed a MP3 player but being told you’ll go to jail for playing music you ripped yourself.
Generally, ripping for personal use is not litigated, only distribution. It may technically be illegal in most places, but then, reproducing someone’s work without compensation should be prohibited.
Decomps are legal because they’re clean room reimplementations of the original code rather than exact copies.
It’s the same approach IBM PC compatible manufacturers used back in the day to create their own BIOSes.
The fact that they are adding more features and modding for these fan ports is incredible, I just hope that Nintendo doesn’t come in and shut down these fan ports like they like to do with fan games/projects/etc.
POV: you ported an old Nintendo game
Not just ultrawide support, but also interpolated frames for super smooth frame rate.
Impressive to see that the software can distinguish between a legal and an illegal ROM file
lol sarcasm aside, it actually can’t. This port is being developed by HarbourMasters, the same people behind Ship of Harkinian and 2 Ship 2 Harkinian (PC ports of OoT and Majora’s Mask, for the unaware.)
Man, MK64 already had a pretty high FOV as it was, and now with ultra wide support lol
How else am I supposed to see the green shells behind me?
360° monitor setup including rear view mirrors.
And Nintendo has not yet sued because…?
On what grounds?
Its Nintendo, do they need grounds?
