They were observed finding one ROM on the Internet, ever. They do have their own emulator(s).

Nintendo is a bunch of humans. If my boss asks me to see if I can find the installer for an old version of our software, you can bet I'll check anywhere before volunteering to go scrape old hard drives.

They are not "banning" emulators. They take action against two sorts of problems: leaking, and distribution of copyrighted material. Yuzu was taken down because they stupidly started charging for help with playing Tears of the Kingdom before its release. Other emulators have been threatened because they included binary console OS software (rather than actually fully emulating the console itself) or actually distributed game ROMs.

Dolphin has been around for about 20 years now. Why? Because they don't distribute copyrighted material, recommend against doing so, and don't require to include any binaries from the console.

Here's all they had to both say and adhere to, to "survive" the supposedly blood-hungry Nintendo for longer than some of the people reading this have been alive:

Where can I download game ISOs/ROMs?¶

Short answer: You don't. Buy games and dump them with a Wii.

Long answer: Downloading commercial games is illegal and thus strongly frowned upon by the Dolphin developers. To prevent legal issues, this includes gray areas like downloading games which you purchased earlier. You don't necessarily need to own a gaming console by yourself because you can buy a game disc and dump them with a friend's console. On the other hand, copying a friend's game dump is considered illegal again.

Also, lol @ the idea that it's hypocrisy for them to use their own game files. You understand that's what a ROM is, right? It isn't magic. It's just a binary file.

...

"Ripping" ROMs, or dumping them, takes almost no effort. If you have the cartridge reader its about as much work as taking photos off an SD card. Certainly nothing at all like cracking a game, which is pretty much software development.

Please consider informing yourself before forming strong opinions.

Just so we're clear, are you under the impression that "ROMs acquired from the Internet" represent something other than Nintendo's work?

I regret to inform you that animations are images

Nope. Nothing at all happening lately, that's why Gedaliyah, son of Akiham, son of Shaphan, is posting 7 year old news about a great power accused of genocide against its Muslim population.

How is your wife doing by the way

I will repeat myself: nobody would know you were Jewish if you did not bring it up. I'm judging you by your "irrelevant" actions, not your heritage. Without bringing it up, you would be presumed just another miseducation Yankee who doesn't (and never will, based on your 4 year old screenshot in your edit) understand that self-determination doesn't come with "unless you decide to do it wrong".

But... 'the enemy' is already in power? And has been as ineffectual as usual?

1. What, lol. China doesn't kidnap foreign businessmen.
2. "Their" equipment was 51% (at least) owned by a Chinese company. Of course they can't literally steal it.
3. "They considered crime"
4. They were going to buy the equipment again... from China anyway? lol

Tell your boss get off the Trump juice.

The claim that this is a pro-Palestinian thing is coming from Radware.

Guess who their CEO is.

Guess where their headquarters are.

Get the android app "Unified Remote". Works perfectly, and you'll have several options, from cursor control to buttons programmed with hotkeys.

The Irish government officially cuts diplomatic ties with Israel and petitions the EU for some form of official mediation. As a neutral, peace-loving nation we implore the nations of the world to force both sides to peace.

Unrelated, sales of balaclavas and digital watches skyrocket in specific areas of Ireland, and lots of lads holidays in Turkey and Cyprus get booked out.

He's thinking of penguins

The problem is that you don't know what a pronoun is. You should try writing a sentence with common pronouns first and see if your sentence makes any grammatical sense. For instance "is

<name>

Yeah it's disgraceful that people from the mainland forced out of their homes by war and prejudice have in turn set up a colonial state that oppresses, marginalised and usurped the national status of the people Indigenous to the area. If only they weren't treated as American allies just so they act as a counterbalance to the regional power.

Your gimmick doesn't work, Drag. You're even having tk say "Drag's", which is literally how third person possessive plurals work. Find another thing to draw attention.
