In March, enthusiasts announced their intention to put Dolphin emulator in Steam, launching games with GameCube and WII. As a result, something happened to be expected – lawyers drew attention to the initiative Nintendo.
The authors of the emulator write that Valve received a prohibitive letter from Nintendo and removed the Dolphin page from the service. The developers of the program are looking for a way out of the situation and in the foreseeable future will share the news.
"Big N" commented on its step as follows:
This emulator illegally bypasses protective systems Nintendo and starts illegal copies of games. The use of illegal emulators and illegal copies of games harms development and ultimately suppresses innovations. Nintendo respects the copyright of other companies and expects that she will be answered by the same.
The emulator itself is alive and well-only a Steam version suffered. For her, among other things, support for Steam functions and a simplified interface on Steam Deck were declared.
Recall Dolphin allows not only to play classics Nintendo On the computer, but also to improve it, the increased personnel frequency and resolution, large-format picture, HD-texture, quick conservations and so on are supported.

If there were their will, the Japanese and browsers would ban the
I read English-language news on this topic, they write that there is some Wii Common Key in the build, which allows you to bypass anti-pirate measures. Its presence is most likely and allows you to throw a DMCA-pile.
Would be a will and the https://duckduckbingocasino.uk/withdrawal/ Internet would be banned, because you can download a pirate via the Internet.
Yes, there is a last employee (founder/developer/administrator?) explains that it all started with the fact that Valve herself asked Nintendo about the legality of those things.
Nintenda, of course, said that it was bad. She relied precisely on the key to encryption of the WII disks, which was found in the code.
Then it turns out that in Githabe Dolphin back in 20, people warned the developers that it was necessary to remove it, t.To. illegal.
> You are here
The emulator allows you to launch games from the consoles that were discontinued 10 and 15 years ago? Well, yes, it will obviously harm Nintendo sales, quite logically and reasonably that they blocked
There is – gentlemen, everything cannot remove the key key to the Wii, which in no way honestly get.
Then still prohibit stores after, then you can buy a pirate in them
You need to ban money, because you can buy it for them
Well, not in the Oblom. In general, he works and the page with GitHub will not disappear anywhere. Partly in Oblom only the authors of the emulator, t.To. will not be able to get an additional penny with Steam. I hope the community in some patreon supports them enough and the project will live.
No, well, what these gamers play for free games with high resolution, increased frame rate, HD-textures and sometimes even with mouse support and VR, instead of buying remasters for 5 thousand, completely insolent!
I read somewhere (like Rusyaic in a cart) that there actually Valv originally wrote a letter about the fact that there are possible violations, and only then Ninka rushed.
DMCA is enough desire and impudence. The real reason is only necessary to win the court if the opponent will pull it altogether.
Nothing new from big n
DMCA – the law is so blurry that you can prove anything there, there would be lawyers. Valv is clear that he does not want to quarrel with publishers, even if this publisher does not plan to release games for a PC in general.
The console was removed from the sale 15 years ago, Wii Shop Channel was closed in December 2019, the last legal way to play games from it was through Wii U, whose eShop was closed on March 27 this year, only discs remained
Many good games with WII still have no remasters, but some emulator is harming copyrights, although no games are going on with it, the emulator expects the user to pass the Roma of his games from his console
The only claim at the moment to the emulator is that in its code is Wii Common Key (the key that deciphers the games before launch/during the emulator), but this can be corrected by the fact that the emulator will ask the user of Wii Common Key (and where this user will find this Wii Common Key, the question is not to the emulator already)
Duck right, the Japanese simply will not survive that they would play in their games on something, besides their candle. Especially on Steam Dece, which is its direct competitor. And the fact that the games are already 30 years old and they can’t play in any way in them, except to wait until Nink deigns to make a remake for 5 Casarers or add it to her subscription service, so this is what they achieve, complete control over everything that would not go past his pocket.
Yes, Rusyan has p.S. On this occasion.
I really like the offer about the brake of innovation. I wonder what innovations are now appearing on Gamecube and WII?)))
Okay there is an encryption code that everyone has not removed, but they have no right to prohibit the release and use of an emulator for triplets of 15 years ago. Console on sale – no. Games for consoles on sale – no. Network services for these consoles work – no. A switch has reverse compatibility with all generations like boxing – no! So you went to hell with what I want and how I want.
