I often revere the people who can do smart shit.

I really shouldn’t. Using discord is dumb. Using discord for a switch emulator, while Nintendos lawyers are waking around with their cocks out is stupid.

What I hate most about this is how they now moved to Rocket Chat.

Come on people. Use a forum. Get the message, finally. Do it!

I hope Nintendo is able to make emulation illegal once and for all and end all this. People really shouldn't be allowed to run whatever software they want, they should only be allowed to run Microsoft Windows and the fun games they include on the bonus disc

Man fuck Nintendo at this point. WE ARE ALLOWED TO EMULATE, GET FUCKED

I'll reinforce my comment from months ago: I have the latest version of Yuzu, the keys, the firmware, the Linux and Windows versions, and links to ROM sites, and I'll distribute them forever to whoever asks in my DMs. I packaged them in a simple .zip with easy to follow instructions.

That said, why simply not use Ryujinx? Even on the Steam Deck performance is very good nowadays. Super Mario Wonder plays at 60 FPS on the Deck (though you need to enable a very simple mod that disables some weird function the game runs, otherwise it drops to 30 FPS all the time). In fact, for AMD GPUs, you're doing yourself a huge favor by going Ryujinx over Yuzu and derivatives.

Ryujinx is solid, accurate and well known, it's a trusted emulator. The Yuzu forks are unknown, managed by non experienced people (one was quite literally created by a teenager with zero coding knowledge) and extremely ephemeral.

Good discord is trash.

Discord is the antithesis to free web. Stop using it. I won't join any community using discord.

Oh yeah, and fuck Nintendo

Even beyond the point of "using discord". Nintendo is reaching harassment levels of assholism. Are they doing even worse that with Gaty Bowser?

They should just spin up their own Lemmy instance

let me just spin up a subreddit instead and ... WHY DOES THIS KEEP HAPPENING?

Why is this much of this a problem for them—discord shouldn't be an essential piece of the puzzle for an emulator project

Potentially completing someone's lemmy bingo card here, but it's relatively easy to self-host any tools you need

You all should have stayed on IRC

Discord is a shit, always was shit. Shitty platform, shitty (electron) apps.

I don’t want to get victim blamey, but…

Matrix is a better Discord.

If they REALLY want it to be like discord, why not use Revolt?

https://revolt.chat/

I don't understand.

One that really ticked me off was that "the legend of zelda ocarina of time" pc build "ship of harkinian".

I have never had such a tough time installing something. You have to do everything through their discord and it was a complete fucking mess.

Pretty fucking authoritarian for a company that uses the OPA’s split circle as its logo

"We will repeat in every sentence that we are not a for-profit emulator, we'll be fine!"

Yeah.

googled Sudachi, and its GPL 3 but:

• Contributions aren't allowed
• Hosted on github (might be an issue tracker instead of the live repo tho)
• Claims not to paywall features, before listing a bunch of features behind a paywall.

yeah that's gonna go real swell for them

I thought that would happen the moment I saw suyu uses only a discord server. Shame they didn't use matrix or even IRC

I'm not surprised. It's not right for Discord to disable the servers and accounts, but at the same time, if you are hosting a community it shouldn't be on discord since you aren't in control of it
