not sure if anyone is going to see at this point but I digress.

even if this case did not directly set a precedent against emulation the mere risk of a repeat of this case with the same outcome is not exactly encouraging to the prospect of someone forking the projects at issue and restarting development.

Whatever happened to the concept of receiving a legal-order, having your lawyers scrutinize it and complying afterwards? None of these high-stakes data handoffs coordinated over insecure email.

You want private courts? You destroy due process? You want pay-to-play legal systems?

You pay the price. This is the price. And you better not complain.

You can either have one, or the other. But you can’t compromise one and keep the the other.

I want public no pay-to-play legal systems.

> If the supply of compatible flashcarts ever dries up, it will definitely get harder, though hopefully there will be more software exploits discovered by then.

another area of research is many flashcarts are actually obfuscation around FPGA and integrated flash perhaps if there was more interest a design could be produced in the spirit of open-hardware sans Nintendo property.

Hell, the original R4 managed it with 2006 hardware. It's conceivable you could do the same thing today with an RP2040.

EDIT: I found a recent GBATemp thread where some research into flashcart design is going on. Maybe something will come of that. Link: https://gbatemp.net/threads/gathering-ds-flashcard-knowledge...

> Intentionally skipped this version due to fake devices

uh oh! does this imply something is up that the trezor developers know of?

Yes, this implies that trezor developers know of fake devices claiming to run that version so they skipped that version number to ensure that no one who sees that version number would confuse it with an actual version.

What does that achieve? Surely the fraudsters wouldn't dare to use one of the "actually secure" version numbers in their attempts to deceive Trezor users...?

unexpected outcome for justifying fair-use with modern technology at stake, any progress defanging the D.M.C.A as of recent?

hopefully sony wont get overly excited and get the developer squashed like after the ps3 got cracked last decade.

so go after the people actively distributing pirated games - much more reasonable than the mixed case of third-party developers.

one of them

surprised that nintendo has not attempted to get dolphin shutdown, with all past attempts of negotiation between third-party developers and big companies [e.g nintendo] have gotten nowhere what do you suggest?

> surprised that nintendo has not attempted to get dolphin shutdown

My guess is that they care about Switch emulation because it's their current console. A Switch emulator actively harms sales of new units and games - and keep in mind, in comparison to Sony and MS, Nintendo is small. They live and die by their IPs and by selling consoles and games.

Dolphin emulates old hardware, that is not produced anymore. They also don't seem that worried about NDS and 3DS emulation and jailbreaking for that matter.

dolphin was able to boot and play some wii games relatively in the middle of commercial sale [2009-2010] so not a rule either.

"guessing guns manufactures should be liable given the mass shootings in certain trigger-happy places"

What? What an off-base analogy.

I feel like it's an apt analogy if you're not from the US.
