The holy grail would be a PS2 emulator. Oh God I hope it's possible...

GameCube and Ps2.... I would play the SHIT outta Dark Cloud, Skies of Arcadia and Tales of Symphonia.

 

[SaffronXL]

And N64, PSX, PSP, Dreamcast, because right now, very few portable devices can play those properly. Wii U never will, because there's no interest in optimizing them *sigh*.

Dreamcast is a bear to emulate, but PSX, PSP, N64, and even Gamecube and Wii should be doable.

 

[astronautlevel]

Piracy doesn't kill consoles.

If the switch gets piracy, third party companies won't develop games for it anymore. No games, you've got the Wii U's perfect successor.

Should, yes, but it'll never happen on the Wii U. Switch maybe, but don't hold your breath.

Don't seem to recall that happening to the PSP, 3DS, DS, or even Wii *shrug*, hell, even the PS3. All were pirated to high heaven, but there is no actual evidence that it kills consoles. Unless you can cite a source to the contrary.

 

[BullyWiiPlaza]

Anybody who can confirm if they managed to find the dumps hosted somewhere?
Just a yes or no. No details (because of the rules). I just see those copycat reports but nothing "legit" so fake news or not?
When it's just private then they can't be found so it's essentially not available.

 

[linuxares]

That's not the case. ReSwitched plans to make every single exploit they have public eventually. The way they work is that they release either after Nintendo patches it or when they have a stockpile of exploits built up. In this way, they manage to have exploits work for the longest period of time possible, on the largest variety of firmwares possible.

We're talking about "BigBlueBox". I know the ReSwitched team will release what they got.

 

[SaffronXL]

3DS STILL gets a lot of games, so that point's moot. I hope Nintendo locked down their eShop servers for Switch, though, being able to download pirate copies of games directly from the official servers is a little ridiculous (albeit awesome).

These consoles went for long periods of time before they got piracy, and the security during those periods of time got the trust of third party developers. If the Switch gets piracy within a year of release, it will not garner substantial third party support (it's already having a hard time getting it as is).

Ah, yeah, that's fair, though they likely just read Switchbrew's documentation on cart dumping.

where's your proof that this will happen in the first place

I have to agree with you there.

 

[astronautlevel]

Of course piracy can't be stopped, but for the switch to be compromised within a year of release would be disastirous. Obviously, dumps don't equal piracy, which is a good thing, but.

Now that you mention it.. He did leak something regarding DSi. My memory is not what it used to be as this has been so many years ago, but I recall Normmatt did leak something for DSi to his piracy friends.

Normmatt made DSi exploits and then released them, can you leak your own exploits?

You really want me to sift through a decade old IRC logs just to find out what exactly he leaked? Back then he did not make any exploit for DSi, but piggybacking on the work from scanlime, bushing and company.

I just remembered it now. I know for a fact he leaked the DSi blowfish key table to his friends at Acekard so they could make this: Acekard 2i
Probably got a fat monetary compensation for the good leaking job he did by stealing scanlime's work.

Anyway, he's not the holy pope as you make him out to be.

For the record, you don't need to leak something to the general public for it to be called leaking. You can leak to private third parties just the same.

 

[the_randomizer]

So wait until something actually happens instead of assuming it'll end up a certain way, perhaps? People seriously need to calm down about this.

I was only responding to the "piracy FUCK YEAH!" post. Obviously I could make ethical arguments against piracy, but the practical aspects are still important.

Good luck, that's highly unlikely.

Hoping to get my hands on an eventual Splatoon 2 dump.. That'll be nice.
