Maybe Nintendo should sue the power company for providing electricity for those people who played Zelda ahead of time.

While they’re at it they should sue VMWare too and maybe reboot the API lawsuits of Oracle vs Google.

Not that I agree with the morality of what Nintendo is doing but their claim is that the emulator can’t be used for anything meaningful besides piracy, whereas electricity is a general service that has lots of varying uses.

As long as someone is just running ROMs backed up from their own Switch cartridges and not distributing those ROMs, Yuzu can be used entirely legally.

Homebrew, game modding, etc…

Which, mind you, the filed brief is explicit about calling ALL emulators as nothing more than piracy tools… Says the company whose own hardware (Switch) is running emulator software to play older games. There is no technical difference except the manner in which the ROMs were loaded. They shouldn’t be able to have their cake and eat it too.

Joined the 5€ tier, hope it’s at least a little help. I was also using the EA builds for free for quite a while, so it’s good to actually pay for it.
