/v/ - Video Games

Because one mainstream site had their games taken down? Just lurk most matey. they're fucking everywhere. Emuparadise is the wal-mart of emulators and roms

ok

>>13729458

its petty as fuck. Nintendo is Lawful Evil the company.

A lot of roms on emuparadise were taken down, not just Nintendo's. You can't find Jak and Daxter there anymore.

>>13729471

They're just evil in general, I'm confident they'd have people killed for stealing games if it was in their power.

>>13729479

Yeah and Nintendo set the precedent

>>13729453

This is what happens when companies put up their gay little e shops with retro games.

Abandonware becomes muh intellectual privileges.

it is sick and sad

there's no game company called "nintedo"

>>13729558

I'm not really that mad about emuparadise. I just think "Nintedno" is out of control and worse yet they act with impunity because of the cult of personality surrounding the company

>>13729453

The assumption at this point should be that if a game's been rereleased, at least in the west, for Nintendo's VC, or Sony's PSN Classics (admittedly this seems to more affect the PS2 games than have seen PS4 rereleases, than PS1 or PS2 games that were on the PS3/PSP/Vita store), expect that you're going to have to look elsewhere than emuparadise for roms or ISOs. Used to be that they'd at least wait until they got hit with a DMCA to remove files, but now they seem to take things down pre-emptively. I'm honestly surprised the original PS2 .hack//G.U. files are still up there since Last Recode just came out, but maybe because that's an actual "remaster" and not just an upscaled-to-"HD" port with trophies, it slides? Time may tell.

Aren't there rom pack torrents?

It is an unlawful distribution of their products. It does reduce the profits they earn re-releasing those games on newer systems. I can't blame them for trying.

>he doesn't know where to find Nintendo roms.

>>13729596

There are emuparadise alternatives that still've got Nintendo games available. http://romhustler.net for example.

just use the pirate bay

>>13729453

Wow, talk about bottom of the barrel for finding a reason to hate nintendo. ROMs are on two dozen other sites.

If you want to hate them, at least hate them for being such unbearable cucks about people wanting to hack their consoles.

>>13729618

There's a reason I didn't name any sites. I'm not going to help them. I like stealing their shit.

>>13729453

If you really cared you would have already gotten the rom, or more likely a full pack of roms for the system. Git gud scrub.

>>13729631

>I shitpost

>therefore I am

>>13729632

Well I didn't want that Rom. I just think its absurd because Zelda 1 is less sophisticated than a flash game at this point. I downloaded Advance Wars just yesterday family

>>13729479

Nintendo were the only ones that sent a dmca. Emuparadise just became scared little cowards after that and began taking anything down they thought might get them in trouble.

>>13729647

Nintendo are still making money selling it. What's their incentive to just give it away?

>>13729656

Yeah, in hindsight, I should've >>>/test/ed the post first

>>13729665

Well fuck me, I am such a faggot

>>13729627

>stealing

Copying isn't stealing.

>>13729711

>Muhammar Qaddafi wasn't evil

>>13729453

The internet waybackmachine is your friend, anon.

>>13729627

Stealing would mean that the original product is no longer avaible– because you removed one or all limited, physical or digital objects regarding towards that product's distribution.

See, i don't really get why they even call it piracy when it's literally copying and pasting data. The internet isn't some fucking archipelago, crackers aren't unshaven scmitar-totin thugs with skulls&crossbones banners and publishers don't even resemble englishman or spanish galleons filled with coffers of gold. Or heck, just coffers of shit because all current games are bottom-of-the-barrel crabbage.

So what's the fucking deal?

Just a big 'ol media scare to paint fags who can ctrl-c ctrl-v as something alike devils?

Who are they fooling?

This thread is getting a lot of reports, but it doesn't break any rules.

>>13729764

They want your money. If you're emulating their games, you probably aren't buying the latest e-shop release (I know I'm not). No amount of rationalisation is going to change this.

>>13729541

This, second they realized they could pull a hollyjew and sell "re-releases" and "remakes" to make CEOs extra money from now until the end of time they started being ultra kikes.

>>13729790

I blame disney and their creation of the kikian ip laws.

>>13729655

I didn't say they had an incentive to give it away.

>>13729453

Just wait for the NES Classic to rerelease next year.

>>13729809

Then why are you mad at them for running their business like a business, as opposed to a charity?

>>13729780

What if we already gave them money years ago and just want to replay that old ROM from that one system we had but broke after years of use or just wear, and can't be repaired or replaced because it isn't in production anymore?

Heck, what if we actually have NO MONEY to give to the scumbags in the first place but we still want to try out the game?

Sure, it makes more sense in that regard to block the user from adquiring NEW products, but it's literally abandonware data that they aren't even profiting for, made zero effort porting to their console with a shit-ass halfassed and possibly forked from a real open source emulator and probably never had anything to do with their original developers.

Even less pay said devs, because who gives a shit about who did what? As long as a company can claim copyright over it and completely screw everyone over in the name of profit– Not entretainment, just doublons. Nobody gives a shit.

>>13729836

But they want your money now, not thirty years ago.

>abandonware

I don't think that term applies if they're still selling the game right now, which they are.

I love emulators, but I can't blame a company for wanting to put a stop to something that's syphoning profits away from them. Why would they not want that?

>>13729769

People are triggered by their favorite company being insulted, what a surprise.

>>13729860

>but I can't blame a company

I can since I hate them, being a company doesn't protect them from consumers shitting on them.

>>13729860

Because they aren't supposed to make a profit now of something they din't make but have renewable rights for because some jewish schmuck thought it was a good idea to re-re-release a NES game that wasn't even worth half of what you're paying for now eg: console price+eshop subscription+actual cost of eshop game compared to cost of OG console+game rental from local store.

Heck, they don't even bother to emulate it with 100% accuracy. It's literally slapping an random emu that works, maybe, and claiming 15-20 bux for something that has been obtainable for free for years now by anyone who spends 0.2 miliseconds doing a single web search. Then labelling everyone who does the latter as criminals. Fucking idiotic.

>>13729921

That's fine, but you just come accross like someone who's very naive and doesn't understand how anything works. You're one step away from "everything should just be free. Communism has never been tried".

>>13729860

>I can't blame a company

Yes you can. Integrity is a thing that exists. You can blame the people controlling the company for putting their own selfish interests ahead of the customer. Being kind and generous are supposed to be virtues people strive to attain.

Or are you the commie-anon that always runs off when someone points out you only go for weak targets?

>>13729820

Because people act like they aren't just another shitty corporation like Ubisoft or Activision

>>13729860

Copyright lasting for several decades is bullshit.

>>13729940

I actually live in a communist state and i hate it, it's fucking garbage living here and i hate even more the faggots perpetuating this liberal gibsmethat shithole of a system and ideologe.

That aside, selling 20+ year old games and making a profit of suing people who keep data archives of games is a fucking disgrace. Their company already profited from these games years ago, it's not like they're releasing something new that they have actually put effort on and placed on a CD to sell on a store or some shit.

It's just providing the same service any 2-bit warez site does but with a paywall infront and a lawyer team to fuck everyone else over if they try to do the same– or were already doing the same years before they even thought of this faggotry.

>>13729945

Why do they have an obligation to give something away, to no personal gain, just because that thing is 30 years old. They still sell Star Wars DVDs. They still sell The Beatle's music.

>>13729965

Well of course they're that. They're a company. They exist to make money. Big surprise.

>>13729979

well, obviously there are also game developers who haven't gone out of their way to pull roms

>>13729979

They aren't giving it away, though. Someone else is providing a service by distributing the data, and they're just shutting down that service through legal bullshit instead of fair economic competition. You're just being an amoral fuckwit, now, acting like anything should be allowed in the act of self-interest, even if that self-interest is purely excessive. We might as well let people get away with murder if it tangibly benefits them.

>>13730008

And that's cool of them, but I don't expect it to become the standard.

>>13730009

>capitalism is murder

Wew. Your /leftypol/ is showing, lad.

>>13730034

>capitalism

Did you even read what I wrote? Exploiting the legal system isn't capitalism. Capitalism would be providing a better service than emuparadise in order to attract customers (that "fair economic competition I mentioned), not threatening people, with lawsuits, to shut them down. You're defending the act of being a shitty person that harms others to gain profit. Being a shitty person is being a shitty person, no matter if it's by being a selfish corporate fat cat or by being a murderer.

Oddly enough, Nintendo was a more decent company when they were run by the Jap mafia hundreds of years ago. Really gets the noggin joggin.

t. Konami

>>13730330

MUH PANCHIKOSLUTS

But seriously, what the fuck happened to them? Did their higher ups just get assassinated and replaced by yakuza thugs who just don't know jack about videogames?

All those fuckups can't just be because of business suits meddling too much with the product, right?

since we are having this conversation and many people are saying "I dont blame nintendo" I do not blame nintendo and here is why

nintendo made something a long time ago, and they have a chance to still make money of off it, so it is only logical to try right?

I also do not blame the pirate, he has the ability to get something for free without taking it from anyone, he is as free to take it as he is to breath, so it would be silly for him to pay for it, he is acting logically.

here is where the problem comes in, nintendo can ask for help from an organization who will essentially tell people not to do it, and if you disobey them too much they will just kill you

nintendo is benefiting from the threat of lethal force used to coerce people to buy their videogame

they didnt make this organization though, this is a prison of our own design

>>13730360

if that bothers you, youre going to have bigger woes in life soon enough. so they made it harder for you to steal games. well, guess which head jew is about to completely fuck up the internet itself?

>I want a company to die because they make efforts to stop me from acquiring their intellectual properties for free.

What?

Although speaking of roms and emulation, anyone have experience with a raspberry pi? I keep getting horrible input lag on most games and playing SMB3 on NES will result in the game playing like it's been sped up. Like the music and animations are faster (still input lag tho).

>>13729836

>Heck, what if we actually have NO MONEY to give to the scumbags in the first place but we still want to try out the game?

Then you're fucked. You're not entitled to the property of other people.

>>13735226

>>13735229

>>13735239

I don't give a shit about the politics pushed in the PR of a company so long as the company makes a good product.

It's when the politics of that company start to make the product bad that I have a problem with it. With things like video games and movies and other media you can definitely have this effect and which is why I haven't really bothered with western made games in the recent years. Heck, I really have a hard time remembering the last western made game I've bought in the last 2 or 3 years.

With hardware it is a bit more difficult to do. You have no way of "diversifying" your hardware engineering team with people that have no skills related to the development of the actual hardware. You can't bring in some pink-haired "writer" and there is no room for politics to slide in. It either works to specs or it's shit. There's no subjectivity to be sold here.

>>13735317

The moment a company takes a political stance they turn their business political and if you buy their products knowing their political stance you are agreeing with them.

Nintendo are the biggest liars this side of Breitbart when it comes to "piracy is killing us" claims.

>>13735378

go play Ethnic Cleaning and then cry endlessly because Zoe exists, bitch.

>>13735201

fuck you, you stupid fucking cunt. Gerstmann, not Quinn, if you were legit.

I don't understand Nintendo. They were doubling down on amiibos, making one off amiibos that only really worked in one game but had essential content behind it.

Then they release Odyssey and none of the amiibo content is exclusive, you can earn it all.

>>13735394

>>13735401

>>13735408

You wanna pack up your shit, >>>/leftypol/ ?

>>13735410

It's basically their version of pay to win. The Smash Bros zelda themed amiibos would give you various items in Breath Of The Wild. Sometimes a chance to get a certain costume piece (toon link gave you a chance for toon link stuff, adult link for OOT stuff, retro/8bit link gave you a chance for LOZ 1 stuff) but mostly a bunch of food and arrows and shit. Makes the game a whole lot easier.

>>13735378

>I don't understand your point about Microsoft. What about them?

Pajeet diversity hires, and I'm not just talking about their tech support, are why they've made so many retarded hardware decisions with the Xbone. The debacle that is the Metro UI in Wangblows was designed by a womyn, most likely another diversity hire or promotion. Don't tell me these tech companies don't engage in (((diversity))) hiring and virtue signalling you disingenuous fuck.

>>13732999

Same overarching company, same people running it, what's the difference?

>>13735804

I never said that they don't engage in those practices I just said it would likely be harder to do with hardware because you can't fuck it up and put a subjective spin on it like you can with a piece of software or other media.

I also said that if said practices start fucking up the products then I don't bother with them. The only reason why I still run Windows 7 is because I need it for games on the PC. Otherwise I'd be using linux primarily.

It is odd, however, that raspberry pi was even brought into a gamergate thing. They don't make gaming hardware they just make a popular single board machine that is used by others to make emulator boxes out of.

It would be like Nintendo commenting on some scandal happening within the industry surrounding books/printed media. Just out of place.

>>13736451

>I never said that they don't engage in those practices

Yeah, you did:

>>13735317
