Switch 2 emulator Eden-NX2 went public on October 29, booting Mario Kart World and Donkey Kong Bananza on Windows PCs, though performance is still rough.

      Hate to break it but the emulator also uses AI and the Switch 2 got hacked in the first place using AI. At this point you’ll be hard pressed to find anything in the scene not using it because, opinions on AI aside, it is seriously effective in reverse engineering.

        And that makes me feel sad about it. Remember TheFlow quitting the reverse engineering entirely because of those slop kiddies? I’m worried about reverse engineering field getting outnumbered by those fly-by-night LLM users replacing the existing enthusiasts. I really hope that won’t happen but really we need to fight against those LLM users to keep it rolling and maintained by someone care about their project.

      I don’t understand what the problem is. Without AI this process would’ve taken certainly much longer (longer than necessary).

      You cannot escape AI, no matter how much you are against it. It is here and it will stay whether we like it or not.

      If you don’t like it, don’t use it.

      I for one am happy this is possible and has a very quick development.

      reverse engineered code is just automatically slop, eh?

      compare that to will smith eating spaghetti, or all the garbage ads that companies are putting out using AI.

      Generalizing anything that AI touches as slop, is kind of . . . . disingenuous, no?

        Damaging to the environment and our futures maybe, but as a coding tool AI is getting much better and more reliable

      I’m sure you’re plugging your original Switch 2 cartridges into your PC when holding up your high standards regarding tech trained on copyrighted material.

        No. People are probably being careful about getting their switch blocked unfortunately. Although you don’t need it. I found this torrent with decrypted stuff:

      I mean, maybe they’re trying not to bring too much attention and get Nintendo’s lawyers to harass even more people.

        Don’t worry, if they host the website publicly that must imply they have good opsec and WANT people to notice it

    I guess I’m kind of okay with the AI use here because decompilations and emulator builds aren’t replacing actual art or displacing workers, and it’s helping consumers in an era where technology is being increasingly locked down. Perhaps even one day console makers will decide to be more consumer-friendly in response.

    Plus some decomps are much more mod-friendly than romhacks, so it opens to the door for more creativity in the PC gaming scene.

    I don’t plan on actually emulating any Switch 2 stuff for 5-10 years, but it’s wonderful to hear I won’t need to buy yet another console.

    Imagine the top app for steam deck being a universal emulator that can emulate any other handheld.

    Heck, imagine that getting integrated into Proton…
