And 3 paragraphs talking about Mario Kart World.

I remember a few years ago I played and finished AM2R, such an incredible game, of course, not on the level of the official remake, but still.

Then you had bands like SOAD, who released an album titled "STEAL THIS ALBUM!"
Some music stores put their own stickers on the cd cases saying things like, "please don't", it was a great time.

They can sue if they can prove that the code wasn’t reversed engineered in a clean room. Meaning nobody who wrote code looked at the original code. One person or group examines the software and writes the specifications and another group implements the specification without the teams interacting with each other. And usually a lawyer has to be involved and review the specification. The separation of teams is called the “Chinese Wall”

And depending on interpretation of the law if the people writing code used a decompiler that can be seen as breaching the “Chinese Wall” since the implementation is then not based solely on the specification but based on the original code.

Indeed. I usually use 7-zip's built in tool to do it when I need to.

I mean, have you seen Nintendo?

You'd think it would be the opposite? High FOV when you are far away doesn't match the expected projection of the things you see on screen. 5 ft is pretty normal I would say, I sit that far from my LG 65" OLED, too. I turn down my FOV in Rocket League so it doesn't mess with my perception, even though you'd think a high FOV in that game would benefit you as you can avoid demolitions easier. (I do keep the FOV at max in Rocket League when in front of my PC though, because I'm so close to my monitor, probably 2 ft or so.)

I love the idea of having a 360° monitor and rear view mirrors instead of just smaller rear view screens, or even digital on-screen rear view mirrors.

This game would greatly benefit from a PC port. It barely reaches 15FPS at times on N64, it's damn near unplayable.

New proposal:
360°C monitor setup
3 small (something like 10") monitors as side/rearview mirrors
actual side-/rearview mirrors

If you are in the US, ROMs aren't illegal either. You're just required to rip them from a cartridge/disc you acquired legally (including second-hand purchases) and you can't distribute it to others. It's the latter part that makes it illegal (but not at all immoral). If you wanna do that last part, god bless. Fuck these companies.

Powershell's Get-FileHash does exactly this though.

I played this for 6 hours straight. Lovely port so far but there are some minor bugs. Namely in the point scoring results screen with flickering text sometimes probably z fighting. I also had the mini map get bugged position and overlap the lap times upper right a couple times.

Other thing I noticed was timing differences at higher frame rates like the steam train crossing the desert road.

OpenGL is very slow considering what it has to render. Used Vulkan but I tested OpenGL briefly and it chugged at 2160p with 120hz and frame interpolation on. AA was off.

Yeah, I know they are psychotic about this shit, doesn't stop me from getting annoyed

It's sort of brilliant, in a Lex Luthor kind of way...

It doesn't matter that they have no basis for a lawsuit. Nintendo starts a lawsuit, no matter how ridiculous, and the developer has to pay a lawyer to defend or they lose to default judgement.

The US isn't like EU. Everyone pays their own costs whether you win or lose. If you win, you can then start a new lawsuit to recover legal costs but that costs more money and you aren't guaranteed to recover the money.

Edit: I don't understand the downvote. It's exactly how the US system works. I experienced it with a contractor. Contractor took the money and didn't finish. I sued and won. He then sued saying he was owed all that money back for absolutely no reason. Of course it didn't even go to trial but I still had to pay my lawyer to defend myself. Otherwise it would have been a default judgement for him.

360°C monitor setup

Better wear some oven mitts.

Lol...Neat typo xD

5ft is close for a 65" screen. Most people sit about 8-10ft away from a screen that size. And to be clear, I'm referring to distance from my eyeballs. The foot of the recliner is about 2ft away.
