  • What is defined as copy here? Cartridge data (game data, not firmware etc) is encrypted and can only be accessed by a protocol that is like spi, but is proprietary, by a specific chip running nintendo code. Or is a copy a full backup of everything on the chip?
    Is the copy a raw copy? Has the data been modified/decrypted/or any algorithm processed it?
    These things define wether a copy falls under this or not. Check what the fineprint or laws defines what ’ a copy’ is exactly in this case.
    If it doesnt, what i mentioned are important to see if what you said apply here or not.

    Like @DarkMetatron@feddit.org said, its only legal if nothing is done with the data. Any decryption using a nintendo key is infact, illegal, and falls under piracy.

    This is why dolphin was removed from steam, because they do exactly that. Decrypt the data to use it.

    If the process of dumping does any encryption or decryption, you also get in trouble in what they said.

    These are the laws, and the lawyer you asked this too must not have been specialised in ip law, copyright and games, or doesnt know the technical details to decide on this.

    The mig chip uses a proprietary protocol to send data of a partly, semi decrypted, game image. That will not go well in court, no matter if the rom was obtained legally.











  • So its called rider and is made by jetbrains :p Its cross platform, does ui’s better than vscode, handles starting web, razor and .net projects out of the box. Has plugins too! :p

    No, the only thing imo visual studio has over vscode ( and i use both in my life ) is that visual studio deals with .net projects waaaay better than vscode. Asp api, blazor, wpf, maui, … These are all project types vscode needs some kind of manual config for. Let alone that vscode doesnt do ui previews out of the box while visual studio can.
    Visual studio also has a way better intellisense than vscode.

    With all of that said, vscode is my go to for general web (js, php,html,…) And c/c++ projects
