    Nintendo officially confirms Switch successor console, announces Nintendo Direct for next month

    Well, that's nice and all. But after all the bullshit Nintendo has pulled I don't plan to give them any more money...:glare:

    Homebrew Tutorial Install MSYS Environment

    Some more tidbits in case anyone finds it interesting: there is also an original msys (not to be confused with msys2), which is part of the MinGW project (not to be confused with mingw-w64): https://osdn.net/projects/mingw/ But all of these are in many ways the "old" version of these tools...

    Hacking Gaming Homebrew Homebrew app SUYU Discord get deleted

    Nice to see someone who feels the same! But I don't think I can request my data, as I don't use discord...;) (Though I would imagine many companies are logging people even without accounts, and even on other websites like with facebook and their pixels...)

    Hacking Gaming Homebrew Homebrew app SUYU Discord get deleted

    I only just heard about this, from a podcast. Stopped by here to read up on it and I'm Really glad to see them replacing it with a self-hosted platform! They've hopefully learnt a few good lessons from all this (github and discord). Self hosting (or decentralizing) is the only way to avoid...

    Anbernic announces RG35XX 2024 Edition retro handheld

    Huh, right when I just bought a r36s...:rofl2: Actually don't regret buying it. It was cheap and it seems anbernic is still not doing proper metal-dome ("clicky") buttons, which is the one feature I really miss on all these consoles...

    GitLab has taken down the Suyu Nintendo Switch emulator

    Ah, yes. Sadly the essence of our modern legal system. Where money allows large companies to dictate what is right and wrong against the people, no matter what the laws say.:(

    GitLab has taken down the Suyu Nintendo Switch emulator

    Well, assuming they are self-hosting it, nintendo would have to send that DMCA notice directly to the suyu team, or (MUCH more likely) the domain registrar and server host.

    GitLab has taken down the Suyu Nintendo Switch emulator

    Thank god GIT is floss and easily self hosted. Honestly, everyone relying on a big company is asking for this kind of trouble, be it github or gitlab. Now let's see what the big N will try to do. Did some quick digging and it seems their domain is registered through porkbun and the website is...

    Nintendo sends DMCA notices for "syspatch-updater" homebrew app by iTotalJustice

    :wtf: *inhales*-.. *SIGH!* Okay, Nintendo clearly aren't stopping... they seem to be fueled up after their recent "wins". I guess we will eventually start to see a darknet ecosystem for distribution of much (most? all?) homebrew tools. And anecdotally: yesterday I needed to emulate a 3ds for...

    Yuzu emulator shutting down, paying Nintendo 2.4 million in lawsuit settlement

    I don't mean to be harsh, I appreciate your reply. But without any source backing that up, I seriously doubt it's "99.9%". Emulators are used for other things all the time, such as software development (both professionally and homebrewing). And even when used for playing commercial games, it's...

    GBA and GBC emulator "Pizza Boy" has been removed from the Google Play Store

    This just keeps going... That settlement between Yuzu and Nintendo has pretty much set the stage here, hasn't it? There's no way of telling who would've won that fight, but that doesn't matter now. We're facing a bleak future. I disagree! That means you're exactly the height of Queen Elizabeth...

    Citra 3DS emulator is also shutting down development, GitHub repo taken down

    Oh this is horrible! But reading what they wrote, this really sticks out to me: I bet Nintendo forced them to write that!I It's not like a lot of people are playing illegitimate 3ds games through Citra. At least not in any scale that would be "extensive piracy". Probably more people playing...

    DraStic DS Emulator on Android is now free to download, will be taken down soon

    I have to agree. I also feel this about most big movie companies: if piracy and free streaming is "killing" them, good riddance! Of course we all know that isn't going to happen. Piracy never was a big problem for the game/music/movie industry. And these companies also know it. This is all a...

    Yuzu emulator shutting down, paying Nintendo 2.4 million in lawsuit settlement

    Jesus F. Christman! So, Nintendo, what's next? Are you gonna sue devkitPro? And then Sony sues pspsdk? And microsoft sues wine/proton? Is the steamdeck illegal because it runs a windows compatibility layer? Sorry for going on a rant, but I have to take my steam off: I heard about the...

    The EoFCast: Episode 49 (Deep dish dive into a deep mind)

    I'm late to the party!:toot: I had seen this episode being out for a while, but wanted to wait until I had some time to just listen and enjoy this rare occasion. @AlanJohn To answer you question of how I listen: it can vary but it's usually while resting, or maybe eating breakfast or in the...
