  • That's not a counter-example...Team Xecuter also made millions of dollars and Gary was running various sites that explicitly promoted and helped people with piracy (much more directly illegal than anything Yuzu was doing). Whether Gary has the money to pay his plea agreement in his federal criminal case (not a mutually agreed upon settlement in a civil case like Yuzu) is irrelevant to my point that the only people getting in big trouble are the ones making a ton of money off of it.

    Also it was only "an easy couple million" from Yuzu because they chose to settle the case immediately rather than fighting it. They certainly had the money to fight it if they had $2.4 million to pay in a settlement they agreed to, so I assume they were more across the line into illegal territory than it seemed or they wouldn't have folded so fast.

  • Even better, there's full archives of all yuzu and citra GitHub repos on archive.org. Yuzu depends on a bunch of other repos they had hosted on their GitHub to build. Same with Citra. All of that is included, plus full git history, in the archive.org 7z files. The torrents are actually really fast right now as there are a lot of seeders. Highly recommend downloading while you can in case Nintendo files a DMCA.

    Plus latest Yuzu and Citra binaries:

    Also Yuzu Wiki with full git history (for some reason missing from the archive.org backup)

  • Is there any way to download the whole git repo with history from that archive? Their FAQ seems to indicate there's a way:

    If absolutely needed, you can use the more expensive “revision” option of the Download button, that will prepare for you the equivalent of a git bare clone , which you will be able to use offline. This may require quite some time (hours, or even days for huge repositories).

    But when I got to a repo I don't see a "revision" option when I click the download button...

  • Yep and it seems to line up with the rise of the Steam Deck and all the discussion around how viable gaming on Linux is these days. I think there were/are a LOT of people that only stick with Windows due to gaming. Hopefully as gaming support continues to improve on Linux more of those people will make the switch.

  • Yeah that’s a fair take. I also have an actual DSi that I use with a flash cart to play DS games, but if I only have my 3DS I feel like the smaller screen with weird borders still looks better than the crappy scaling, but I agree neither way is really ideal unfortunately.

  • You can actually hold the start button while launching DA games on the 3DS and they will play without scaling. Makes the size of the images about the same size as a DS Lite (depending on which 3DS you have of course, XL will be larger).

    IMO it’s the best way to play DS games on 3DS as I agree the scaling looks awful.

  • Wario Land hands down is the best game on the Virtual Boy IMO. Give that a play first, it's a really solid Wario Land game that makes good use of the 3D effects and even without the 3D part is just a good game (if you liked Wario Land on GB anyway).

    After that just give them all a try, there's only 22 official games on the system haha.

  • Unfortunately I think this is exactly what Reddit wants. They want to be social media like Instagram or TikTok style. A lot more ad money from that crowd.

    I know Reddit (and Lemmy) was always technically social media but I consider it more like Internet forums than the Facebook/Insta/TikTok style social media.

  • Yeah iOS has had native support for content blocking since iOS 9 back in 2015. You just install any ad blocker you want from the App Store and you get full desktop style ad blocking in Safari. Also of course you can use DNS based as blocking as well to block ads in apps etc.

    I imagine there is a big conflict of interest from Google with Android ad blocking since they’re essentially an advertising company and run by far the biggest ad network in the world. I’m kind of surprised Android supports it at all to be honest, but good to hear there’s good support now.

    Fuck ads!!

  • That kind of makes sense though. I figure they assume you’ll have one computer hooked up and then a bunch of consumer devices that all use HDMI. And if you need a second computer hooked up you can also use HDMI if needed. Probably makes the most sense to the most people as having more DP in place of HDMI would just mean the average user couldn’t hook up as many devices since (almost?) no consumer devices use DP unfortunately.

  • Why do so many people on Lemmy think iPhones don’t have ad blocking? It’s an OS feature and there’s like a dozen ad blockers available that all work with the stock browser.

    I swear this is like the 5th time I’ve seen a comment like this on Lemmy. I swear no one that complains about iPhones has ever actually used one…
