In short, if you happen to hack your Switch or run emulators, you may find that it winds up getting bricked entirely.

Nintendo is Nintendoing again!

laughs in steam deck You know, I didn’t really have a lot of interest in emulating old Nintendo games, but now I think I’ll do it just because Nintendo doesn’t want me to.

Thank god I own a PC and not a corpo platform.

As a Linux gamer the idea of unauthorized software is absolutely absurd. Also spending billions on “security” to make sure only approved games are played then approving slop.

Preventing me from accessing Nintendo network and store is one thing. Somehow bricking me physical device, that I own? Fuck them

Joke is on them. I have had every NES and SNES rom ever made for a long ass time. I need to make sure i have every N64 rom (even if I don’t play that often) and now every GameCube.

I still don’t have a Wii emulator or even looked into that.

Dolphin, the gamecube emulator is also a fairly complete wii emulator. The wii was basically 2 gamecubes duct-taped together.

Is there a way to obtain such treasures in one clean swoop? Asking for a friend.

When I have the time I will try to download as much stuff as possible and make a torrent file. I’ll share it in a PM.

Note to self: walk the walk…
