    Nintendo also went against Dolphin (Wii & Gamecube), Citra (3DS). And that's just the recent ones, and only emulators (we won't even mention fan-games).

    They simply don't like the concept of people enjoying stuff how they like instead of the very narrow way-to-enjoy that Nintendo wants to impose as the only authorised one. They consider such "unauthorized fun" to be a violation of their IP rights and they have the lawyer warchest to fight on that hill.

    @pjb @cwebber [...]

    Nintendo remaining silent in the light of AI-assisted decomp/recomp is very fihsy - as if they feared even more the impact that outlawing vibewashing could have.

    (Evermore so when you look at their "emulators for me, not for thee" stance.)

    @dryak@mstdn.science @cwebber@social.coop I suspect the worst is yet to come as my personal observation is that the phenomenon is still very recent, and all the videos of slop ports running I can think of have been based off mostly-human-made decomps. Though maybe I haven't been paying enough attention at that.

    (Claude, take the port and the Aurora compat layer and smash them together, keep fixing crashes till I see the Wind Waker title screen)
