nintendo is fucking up their public image (to the semi-diehard fans at least) so now i'm just waiting for people to make definitive guides on how to pirate nintendo media
- NES/Famicom/Dendy emulation: FCEUX or Mesen
- SNES emulation: Snes9x or Mesen
- Game Boy + Color emulation: SameBoy
- Game Boy Advance emulation: mGBA
- N64 emulation: P64 seems to have a vulnerability right now, so try using Simple64 or Parallel Launcher
- GameCube and Wii emulation: Dolphin
- DS emulation: MelonDS (You can also play it on android) or DeSmuME
- 3DS emulation: Citra
- It's actually surprisingly easy to hack your 3DS
- Wii U emulation: Cemu
- From @nervcorp: nintendo is shutting down online server access for the wii u and the 3ds on march 27th btw - homebrew literally NOW!!!!!! there's not a better time to!!!
- Switch emulation: Ryujinx
- Rest in peace, Yuzu
- I would love to share ROM sites but I really, really don't want them to get taken down
- From @fearb33k33p3r: if you want to know where to actually GET roms, do not use a big romsite like emuparadise. the more primitive and direct the download, the better.
please comment for anything else i should know!! sharing will only share it with your followers/passerbys but comments can be seen on any post so please do that!! thanks!!

ONE cemu mention in this thread and im bringing it up again because the servers are about to go down!!!!! wii u users deserve credit!!! cemu my beloved!!!
adding onto this for non nintendo emulation because im obsessed with psx rn
duckstation is a psx emulator (objectively the best one) because it's (1) free and opensource (unlike epsxe) and (2) actually under active development and runs well (unlike pcsx-xr and it's forks)
pcxs2 and rpcs3 for the ps2 and ps3
ppsspp for my portable fans
and vita3k for psvita (although if you HAVE a vita, it's better to hack it)
xemu for original xbox
redream for dreamcast
ok thats all i can rember.
edit: retroarch is literally valve NSO. please use better frontends. (openemu is cool i think i dunno ive literally never used it but it's not literally steamdeck NSO)
have fun, and get fucked nintendo!
