I read through the article, only speculation but since the sound is without a doubt the USB being disconnected then it’s pretty obvious an Windows machine running a rom.
It’s a weird assumption. Like I said, emulation for backward compatibility is common. Do they always just wait for some random strangers to implement an emulator for them?
Is the implication that they won’t be able to write an in-house emulator? So did they wait for someone to port an SNES emulator to Switch before they can put those old games on their online service?
in the past they have. i should have specified. i have no idea what they’re doing in their museums. but considering their history, I wouldn’t discount it.
You are right. Sorry for being so snarky. The modding community for the SNES Classic mostly preferred Nintendo’s own emulator, Canoe. I just assumed Nintendo would continue to use it
All we can do is speculate for now. They will never see another dime from me personally. I just don’t see why we are persecuting them for emulation of all things. Be mad they are fucking over other emulator developers, but a company emulating their own games isn’t anything new
It’s a museum. And the company that has the most amount of untouched Super Nintendos out of anyone wasn’t able to source a working Super Nintendo to showcase Super Nintendo games at the Nintendo Museum.
What’s so embarrassing? Emulation for backward compatibility is done all the times
I guess people are assuming it runs whatever third party emulator. It was at least how I first imagined it.
If that’s the case, it’s in my opinion very embarrassing: attempting to profit from stuff made by the community they act extremely hostile towards.
If not, I guess it’s just mildly embarrassing that they have a poorly concealed windows machine taking away from the immersion.

Well yeah, but it might as well be their own in-house emulator.
They really should have used their own PC OS

Nintendo has some serious emulation experts for building products, but this setup rigged by some museum staff could be anything.
Waiting? There is zero chance availability is an issue. There are many ready to go snes emulators for windows out there.
They have literally had their own emulators for so long. At least since the SNES Classic released. It is called Canoe
Because Nintendo really really hates people who emulate their games
And? I too really hate people using my toothbrush but have no problem using it myself. Is that embarrassing?
because they’re using the work of others for their own profits.

the “implication?” they’ve literally already sold consoles that have downloaded roms on them.
Are they? They aren’t using Canoe and their own files?
files they’ve downloaded off the internet. its much easier for them and they only need to do a quick frontend to make it look official.
ezpz.
So you have access to the PC in the museum?
in the past they have. i should have specified. i have no idea what they’re doing in their museums. but considering their history, I wouldn’t discount it.

Thst they use windows, ew
