Homebrew RELEASE Egg NS 2.0.0 - Huge update

[HalfScoper]

boo-hoo, let people waste money on the required controller if it makes them happy

The day some kid comes into gbatemp and cries because their youtuber gave them spyware instead of 8k 240fps switch emulation im going to laugh my ass off.

I was going to quote a few people up here in the beginning but it seems unfair is so many of you seem to be so... lost

as we are in a legally gray sea floating on pirate ships, I personally ignore anything pertaining to the legality of the "stolen" emulator code ... Yes it's stolen and unless you bought a switch hacked it bought the game ripped it (which if we're being honest no one does, no one here buys their games, to rip their own games, to play their own games and only their own games...) See where I am coming from in case you don't it's that it makes zero sense for a bunch of software thieves to be complaining about the legality of a piece of software
In honesty I've heard the argument too many times from gateway (3ds) to sx os (switch) don't "pay for piracy" as if we dont pay for piracy traditionally ... Everdrive on the gb(c) and GBA, and r4 cards galore for the ds btw all flashcards use code stolen from Nintendo in order to bypass Nintendos ap and no flashcard is open source

Also anyone saying that the controller is junk/trash/bad/crap/ect obviously does not own one it is a good controller don't believe me? look at reviews (use Google) it oftentimes is considered as the best telescopic game controller beating out the razor jungle cat and the kishi ... to complain about the build quality of something you obviously haven't even tried... seriously people wtf

Also it started at 80 usd but can easily be found for 60 usd and why complain about the price of a controller ... I mean how much is a PS4 controller or an Xbox One controller and that's not even to say a PS5 or series x controller

And one final note while it is a $60 to $80 controller you have to keep in mind that you are not buying a key for a switch emulator you are buying this controller for your phone it can be used with many different apps games and emulators on your phone... I keep reading comments like "$80 to make my phone a switch no thank you" when it's more all-encompassing than that it's a controller that you can use, not just a device to allow you access to a single emulator

Today I learned that I don't exist.

you're either a liar or a very very fancy unicorn

To be honest, yes, when I was 12 and my parents didn't want to buy me games I did download GBA games from a ROM website. But now really what's the point? If there's a game I really want to play I just buy it. If there's a game I'm not sure if I'd like it then I have lots of options, I can try a demo if there is one, I can borrow it from a friend or in the worst case I can buy it second hand for cheaper (and resell it at almost the same price if I didn't like the game). It's not an old console for which there aren't many options other than spending like $150 for a copy on eBay and triple that ... (Downloading older games is obviously still illegal but at least I can understand the reason behind it, as opposed to pirate Switch games and Switch hardware in the case of EggNS since it ships with keys)

So then what am I? Because I only play my legit dumped games as well. I hack for convenience, not piracy.

Is it two unicorns? Or am I just a deer?

please read the above post the guy I was talking to already admitted that there are outlying situations in which piracy is acceptable to him now I'm just waiting for you to admit it ... not to(/for) me but to(/for) yourself

Edit: also this isn't even a debate about hacking but your reason is nonsensical to jump through the required hoops and still deal with the looming risk of ban for hacking ... "convenience" becomes oxymoronic but you argue what you want
Just keep in mind One could argue that the only convenience that would make that worthwhile is the ability to pay $0 for your games

thank you for your honest response you'd be surprised how few of those you can get around here

and I agree with you on many points especially about the price some older game skyrocket too it's just nonsensical for anyone to pay that much for a physical version of an old game when they could simply go out and download for free

But as to the why you ask about there could be a multitude of reasons for instance if the controller is 60-80... we will say $80 and someone already happens to have a capable phone and no switch then it's still a less than half price option to be able to play switch games ... Or perhaps you simply live in a country where video game consoles are rarity considered to be a luxury item that most of the general public doesn't have because it's not even stocked in stores I know that sounds really weird to say but I've heard it plenty of times when dealing with the 3DS usually from people in South America

The difference here is that the games are still being sold and this can only inspire piracy. Which is already a legal gray area where many parts of the world are concerned, but because the Switch is still relevant, and in fact still getting big name games for the next couple of years, this is completely unjustifiable.

I mean, if you want to admit that you're contributing to piracy and taking potential profits from developers that need it, go right ahead.
But last I checked, the ToS we all agreed to when we made accounts here agreed not to condone or contribute to warez and piracy?

Do whatever you want, but if you're gonna do it, keep your contraband to yourself.

By the way, you know what else is cheaper than a Pocophone that plays Switch games?

A Switch.

 

[Nomi20]

What a horrible deal, having to buy a controller for an emulator especially with how sketchy the emulator is.

I'm sorry? you said what? LOL... do you not realize that gateway was sold at the peak of the 3DS's prime and that SX OS is still sold despite it being sued for helping people to break those tos you're so concerned about. but your counterpoint seems to be missing the point, whether a game is being sold to me by Nintendo right now or is still a physical item Nintendo no longer produces yet I can still purchase even if not from Nintendo directly, it is still an item available to purchase and so the super uber expensive $300 NES game cartridge is obviously still relevant or would not be $300 so the relevance or availability of a game has nothing to do with whether or not piracy is okay for it piracy is never okay and yes I do pirate and a lot bro

I'm sorry am i hosting ROMs or any other type of legally protected file? am I distributing any file to you whatsoever? no. I'm not so I am not contributing to anything and as far as my purchases that I would not have made in the first place well you can't lose money from money you'll never have had also if you must know I'm a moral pirate any game that I play enjoy and feel that there should be a continuation of the series and I go out and purchase just because you can't see a world where someone would pirate a game and then purchase it doesn't mean it doesn't exist bro

Do whatever you want, but if you're gonna do it, keep your contraband to yourself.

again I'm not passing anything out to you and just in case you're confused I own zero stock in the corporation that made this controller just because I said that it's not trash doesn't mean that I'm passing out anything other than an unbiased opinion

By the way, you know what else is cheaper than a Pocophone that plays Switch games?

A Switch.

although you're 100% and no one should buy a phone so that they could play an emulator, you seem to be missing the point no one said, go out and buy a Poco phone so you can go out and buy this controller so you can play this emulator that runs at half speed. the guy is mentioning that he has said phone and it can indeed run the emulator
I have to ask are you just butt hurt cuz your phone sucks?

 

[Milenko]

Plenty of people do, that's why you shouldn't assume without knowing

As mentioned previously, the issue isn't the legal grey area that the emulator is in due to its source code, but rather the files it comes with. There are keys that are available IN PLAINTEXT being included in this software. These keys are illegal to distribute. Therefore, just downloading the application, without even running it, is illegal. THIS is why people shouldn't support this application. Nintendo definitely knows about this, btw. Videos on YouTube are being struck down. Just a matter of time before the company behind it get a C&D, and if all goes well, hopefully they get hit with more than that.

 

[ganons]

The point is the ethical debate on such actions.

Yet here we are in a forum where 97% users are pirates in one shape or form.

Better check again I guess.
