Lmao I’m in the NYC area and my whole house shook. I’m right there with you. Thanks for the explanation!

Okay honest question, when you merge a PR in GitHub and choose the squash commits box is that “rebasing”? Or is that just squashing? Because it seems that achieves the same thing you’re talking about.

Lol love how no one is shitting on The Verge when it’s a topic they agree with.

To put this another way, Yuzu relies on Nintendo’s BIOS to function. Connectix’s Game Station did not.

Yeah that would make sense except you missed a key point:

Connectix’s development strategy was based upon reverse engineering the PlayStation’s BIOS firmware, first by using the unchanged BIOS to develop emulation for the hardware, and then by developing a BIOS of their own using the original firmware as an aid for debugging.

The whole point here is that Connectix used Sony’s BIOS to develop their own BIOS. Yuzu is not doing that. They don’t have their own BIOS they are providing to their users. They are telling people to use Nintendo’s bios, but that they aren’t providing it.

This. This seems to be the argument that Nintendo is hinging on. In order for Yuzu to play the games properly you need a prod.keys file. I guess Nintendo is claiming that the keys in this file are owned by them and it’s illegal to have that number much in the same way the number used to represent the C code for decoding DVD copy protection is illegal: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Illegal_number#Illegal_primes

I am no lawyer but seems tenuous when you can run a program to get the prod.keys from your own console. Especially when that code is legal and exists on GitHub: https://github.com/Decscots/Lockpick_RCM

Wow 1080 screen and hall effect joysticks. Since it’s 1080 I wonder how it will perform compared to the steam deck.

No, the Wii plays GameCube games natively. It has GameCube hardware in it. It’s not emulating the games.

You’re completely ignoring the difference between a natively run/performing game and the performance/bugs that appear when emulating. Even the best emulators can’t give you an exact playthrough like the native console would.

There are very few emulators that do that and they’re still limited to the 8 and 16-bit eras because the power required to emulate all the console’s hardware to accurately run the games is immense. Almost every emulator uses tricks to get close to native performance but they don’t actually emulate games the way they are played on the consoles.

If you have a Wii hacking it is super easy and allows you to play GameCube and Wii ISOs.

This is a really neat solution, but I can also play GameCube ISOs off my hacked Wii for free without the need for hardware to accomplish it, so I can’t say there is a huge usecase for this other than people who want the clean implementation and the original GameCube look.

Still very cool though.

Putin is desperate to restore Russia to its former USSR glory. That’s why he wants Ukraine so badly.

Git = bittorrent

GitHub = the pirate bay

Code = content

Even that’s not the perfect analogy but it’s better than the OP.

I fuckin hate cops as much as the next person but people love to spout this fact, but there is literally only 1 police department ever that has been documented doing this, and it was the one police department in Connecticut.

However the court did in fact rule it was legal, yes.

But the way everyone talks about it you’d think this was some super widespread policy that many departments use. And as far as I can tell there’s only ever been the 1 example. It’s the same case that every single article about it refers to.

Maybe the Israelis should speak up about Nehtanyahu too…

I think this is probably true of many ex-British colonies since class is such a dominant and suffocating aspect of British culture.

Laughs in India

We had a collectivist culture, government funding for our own media with our own values, then we started getting leaned on.

This is hilarious to point out when you consider Rupert Murdoch has done more to change American politics than probably anyone else in the last 50 years, but you’re gonna complain about the US “leaning on” Australia? Sorry but that just screams of shirking responsibility for your own country’s problems.

I love how you actually edited it too. What a nice person you are lol.

I think most Final Fantasy fans would still consider the ATB systems to be turn based, just depends on how pedantic you wanna be. You’re still taking turns, you’re just not necessarily taking them in the exact same order every time.

Also if you’re gonna be that pedantic, X is not a turn based system either. It’s a conditional turn based system where characters with a higher agility stat take more turns. Almost exactly the same as ATB just without the need to input your actions as fast as possible. (If you have ATB on active instead of wait mode.)
