Nintendo of Europe Research and Development

What does that have to do with the system update?

Presumably that @V-Temp assumes they're working on a GameCube emulator

I have some misgivings about that, actually. See, before the Genesis collection on Steam was released, Sega approached Libretro to see if they could use their source code for the Genesis emulation. Libretro refused their request, but I fear Nintendo will try to do the same to Dolphin, ruining it and filing a DMCA claim, shutting it down. Nintendo/NERD should just write their own damn emulator.

Haven't they been doing that already? (Not anything as complex as GameCube, but DS, GBA, NES, SNES, etc)

I don't know, maybe, but I know Nintendo has borrowed source code from emulators before. Like Mega Man X2 and X3 on the Wii? Byuu stated they lifted Cx4 chip code to use in their own emulators. I dunno what to think.

Can you give a link so that I can look into the specifics of the situation?

I dunno if its just lego worlds, but after updating my switch seems to crash a lot.

Probably just lego thinking about it....

Edit: 3 crashes in 1 hr... coincidence?

I'm pretty sure that can't happen. AFAIK emulators are not illegal as long as they don't contain actual code from Nintendo (like a BIOS, System Menu, etc). Stealing code from Dolphin to use in their own emulator and then trying to sue Dolphin for copyright infringement would be the second most insanely stupid thing ever (right after the AtariBox), since Dolphin has a GitHub Repo where everyone could see that Dolphin's code is older then than Nintys GC emulator.

you've never heard of lego games crashing before?

 

[hobbledehoy899]

you've never heard of lego games crashing before?

The ones for the Wii ran pretty good...

 

[KiiWii]

I havent played anything in weeks, I got a day off today and lego worlds for my birthday, its damned annoying,..

I smashed through lego JP on PS4, and before that starwars complete on xbox og, no issues

Edit: yeah it has to be lego: case closed

 

[PabloMK7]

This update didn't fix the audio problems I have with my switch. Sigh....

 

[g00s3y]

Oh no, they patched the new exploit in this...

you must be joking remember the indiana jones exploit? because it was so damn buggy made it possible to do the exploit

i have never played a lego game and not had it crash before even on the PC.

Just because a game can be exploited doesn't mean it can't run good.

Well, my tv randomly blacks out for a second and when it comes back it shows HDMI2.
Hope the issue is.solved for me after updating.

Samsung TV non-smart.

 

[2DSGamerdude]

um, does this small update have anything to do with the upcoming super Mario oddessey that comes out tomorrow?

 

[sarkwalvein]

Oh Nines!!!!!!999999!99999

 

[CatmanFan]

I'm still on 3.0.2. I really want to update because of the new features but I can't because of the potential homebrew patches. Should I update?
