even if they keep extensive archives (how could the gigaleak have happened if not?), i guess it’s still less effort for whoever puts the roms on the service to just yoink a pirated rom from the internet than to go get it themselves lol
I would assume it’s obvious they keep their own ROMs… But then Nintendo has been caught multiple times using ROMs from romsites, and the emulators they use are either based on open source emus you can find on the Web, or are literally the exact emus.
I have no issue with Nintendo using open source emulators. It’s open source after all. Would be nice if they did like Valve and then also throw the developers a bone.
But we’re talking about Nintendo. They’re using the very resources they demonise and sue people into the ground for. Makes them hypocritics.
Implying they don’t keep copies of ROMs for their own games?
There’s been documented cases of them using known pirated versions based on headers and stuff. As crazy as it sounds…

The pirated roms cannot be proven beyond a shadow of doubt but gigaleak showed other stuff related to emulators

I’m not defending them but it makes sense for companies to use open source stuff.
Amazon’s servers are ran almost entirely on Linux.
