Wanna play Zelda Breath of the wild on pc?!

I just found this:



On cemu (wii U emu)

From what I read, it runs like total shit atm.  But maybe eventually it will run well enough to check out.

Yeh, I red they need a few months. I just downloaded zelda windwaker hd and some mario games and it runs great!!

But that they made zelda botw 'playable' in such a short time is impressive.

This is not legal right ? I think you can post about private servers but is this allowed on these boards ?

Youtube finds it legal and in his description:  

Emulation is not about playing Pirated games. Its about playing the Games YOU OWN, forever on whatever Media you want. 4K 60+FPS for life! Pay for what you play...

Didn't know Nintendo had downloadable PC versions of Windwaker HD and Mario. Downloading, distributing and using those is a violation of copyright law.

Legal.. Is some times a matter of pespective... 

It might not be illegal for you to play it, but i am pretty sure that the people who make the emulator could end up in some very hot water should the right combination of legal people come together. 

But usually it is just a matter of a CnD and then bury the developer in legal costs until they give up and/or drink them self to death.

So if I own a Switch and a copy of BotW. Would I be a dirty rotten scroundrel for playing the emu?

No but it is still illegal to play a copyrighted rom.

That's debatable.  If you own a physical copy of Breath of the Wild it could be reasonably argued that making a "backup" copy for personal use is your legal right as an owner of the product.

Can I Download a Nintendo ROM from the Internet if I Already Own the Authentic Game?

There is a good deal of misinformation on the Internet regarding the backup/archival copy exception. It is not a "second copy" rule and is often mistakenly cited for the proposition that if you have one lawful copy of a copyrighted work, you are entitled to have a second copy of the copyrighted work even if that second copy is an infringing copy. The backup/archival copy exception is a very narrow limitation relating to a copy being made by the rightful owner of an authentic game to ensure he or she has one in the event of damage or destruction of the authentic. Therefore, whether you have an authentic game or not, or whether you have possession of a Nintendo ROM for a limited amount of time, i.e. 24 hours, it is illegal to download and play a Nintendo ROM from the Internet.

And that is what I criticized harshly in a previous post.

This is simply bullshit. The European law clearly states that you are allowed to have copies of games you legally own.

Nintendo thinks they are above the law to spread this "misinformation" as they call it.

Get a Switch + Zelda and support Nintendo for it's courage!

A downloaded ROM is a copy of someone else's game.  If you created the ROM yourself from the game that you possess, then it is a copy of your game.  The downloaded version "is not okay".

The EMUs themselves are typically modular, with the illegal portions created and maintained as plugins, by a 3rd party.  This is why you can find EMUs like ePSX on the play store but they don't actually work on their own.

If you are successfully playing an emulated game then you are using at least one piece of illegal software to do it, assuming that the platform itself isn't so old that it's now free game.

So you mean to say you didn't download them from an illegal website?

Well, let's assume they do have pc versions.

Is the website illegal or the content offered? Big difference.
