RE: Nintendo's take on Dolphin - RupeeClock - 12-30-2009
If you check Nintendo's website, they actually claim that emulators are only for illegally copied games.
For real.

So it's pretty clear what Nintendo thinks about Dolphin, they hate it because they think everyone is going to pirate wii games for it.
But if anyone pirates wii, they use USB loader, sadly...

Mm....I read in a forum related to Nintendo that they hate emulators and other things that decrease their sales as RupeeClock says and if you search in Google you will see that many people had become pirates. :S
Maybe....because they cant afford to buy a console?
RE: Nintendo's take on Dolphin - RupeeClock - 12-30-2009
I think Nintendo was probably pretty upset about Visualboy Advance in particular.
That was capable of perfectly emulating GBA games whilst the system was still in print, not just capable like Dolphin is but actually perfect.
That article is bullshit anyway, there are tons of legitimate emulators, it's called Virtual Console, or Sonic Mega Collection, even Contra 4 emulates some old NES titles as a bonus.
RE: Nintendo's take on Dolphin - Apostacious - 12-30-2009
don't forget the ds emulators, those are pretty much perfect too, specially no$gba, the developer claims its for production use of nintendo ds tittles and even goes as far as bashing pirates in some menu (forgot what part) of the emulator but the "no$" part really makes him sound like a hypocrite.
RE: Nintendo's take on Dolphin - RupeeClock - 12-30-2009
no$gba is far from perfect, and it hasn't been updated in a long time.
A shame too because it was a really good project.
RE: Nintendo's take on Dolphin - Jefferson - 12-30-2009
Mm...no$gba: Not dollar? Maybe because is free distributable?
Don forget iDEAS, DSMune, SNES X9, Project 64, xcsc 360 emu, esxp 1.60....and I dont remember more.
Edit: Now I see. It is because is a project open to donations on its homepage. Sorry it was: No cash.

I disagree, true it hasn't been updated for a long time but if you've got the latest one you get from donating, it pretty much runs everything flawlessly. to the exception of some graphical bugs in the no$renderer (donation only), but even in ogl its pretty fast.
And, jefferson, no$gba = No chash gba. not dollar xD

Nintendo likes to state that you're not allowed to make backups of your games for personal use even though it states in the USA copyright act that no one can take that right away from you.
They like to stamp their foot up and down in regards to emulators, but they know there's not a thing they can do about it.
RE: Nintendo's take on Dolphin - ugoo - 12-30-2009
i don't think so just because they chose to ignore emulators does not mean that they cannot do anything about it they can do something about it but they prefer to ignore them rather than draw attention to the emulator in question by focussing on them it which is pretty much what sony does in relation to PCSX and PCSX2 and Microsoft in relation to Xeon and Cxbx
Remember Whinecube and Dolwin they both died out and Nintendo didn't do anything to them
