Xbox 360 Emulator Dev Fights Pirates With Ear-Rape

There's plenty of faggotry in the FPGA community too. All you have to say is "FPGA is hardware emulation" or not gush hard enough over the MiSTer and hardcore FPGA bros will jump right down your neck.
I have a MiSTer. I've been working on some stuff on it in my spare time and checked in to the Discord a few times. I was already pretty sure it was at least 41% trans, then they went rainbow for June and I figured if I make anything for the community I'd just post it on their forums instead. Insert link here to KF Thread about trannies ruining hobbies.
 
Honestly, this type of malfeasance went back to Duke Nukem 3D Total Conversions at least. Probably further, but that's when I got internet.
What I find interesting is that this ALWAYS ends the same way. "This was supposed to punish you".

When I worked at a computer store, we caught a new hire defacing notebook cameras. When confronted, he was angry because he couldn't afford those notebooks.
Stupid fuck was on camera at ALL TIMES, and still did that. There is something nasty in these assholes heads.
 
Are you talking about that FFXIV addon dev? Yeah his change was just straight up literal malware.
He could also be talking about Sonic Gather Battle, A fangame that would do gay creepypasta-esque shit if it detected you running cheat engine in the background, it would also scan window titles for the word "cheat" and force close them. The game needed an online connection to work and the only reason he did this was so he could blacklist people's IPs from being able to play the game.

The reason he did all this crazy shit?

Because he didn't want people to rip his sprite edits, seriously.
 
Reminds me of that one faggot who tried destroying russians' PCs via some commit to a commenly used .json file that deletes everything on a person's pc if they detect their IP is from Russia. Because destroying random citizens' PCs is the correct way of going against those evil fucking racist, sexist, transphobic, BIGOTED Ruskies who deserve nothing even tho they had no say in what their leader wanted.

Is that related to the faggot that paywalled a GMod addon and then banned the entirety of Eastern Europe from accesssing it because muh piracy?

Incidentally, not the first time a Sonic fan game had some malicious shit added to it.

Why are emulator devs such drama queens even among FOSSfags?
Everything in the universe forces balance. If you're very good at coding, you are socially retarded. If you're very socially adept, you can't add 2 + 2 to save your life. It's just how it plays out.

More to the main point, there is no reason anyone should have a Discord, period. Josh has said this dozens of times and he's right, there is no end-to-end encryption with any of your shit on that application, it is not a place for private conversations involving anything least of all your development work cycle and the identities of people working on it. On top of that, there's no actual reason to have a public Discord. A private communication means between team members with filesharing? Yes, there are many programs that facilitate that requirement and it's necessary for work to get done for both devs and testers, but a public Discord where people can just pop in and burden you with retarded questions? Write an FAQ, you booger eater.

Even in that sonic story, there is too much wringing of hands. If a fuckface packs in malware, Pillory the fuck!

I do find it amusing that annoying beep 360 emu is getting fucked by avast, who also hate the farms.

Any software the user did not intend to install is malware. I'd go as far as to say most DRM should be classed as malware. No one wanted to grant Sony Ring zero, and in fact likely didn't know what the fuck Ring Zero WAS.

That reminds me of a RIAEvangelist faggot who's anti-war protestware nuked some war crime evidence. Brandon Nozaki Miller made his nodejs package wipe your disk when it detected you were in russia.
chaos ensues. Archive link because the faggot DFE'd all issues there.

The only open source FPGA toolchain out there (Yosys) is made by the 41%, and is virtue signalling in the logo, but fuck me sideways, as a toolchain, it is a 100 times better and 10 times faster than what the large vendors shit out.

Yeah that's the guy I was thinking of. Sorry it's been a year and I forgotten most of the details that went into the dumbfuckery.
 
He only programmed it to work on windows, i dunno if he is a retard who couldn't figure out how to do the same on the linux build (which barely works because thier vulkan renderer is broken as fuck) or if he is jsut a lazy tard
If the people who he did it for are too stupid to figure out emulation, what makes you think they'd know how to use Linux?
 
Man-babies that can't let go of their childhood.

Simps for corporate intellectual property rights belong in a fucking pit. Some sort of Dark Knight Rises style dungeon that you have to climb out of.

Do they honestly think that forcing people to buy 2nd hand copies of out-of-print Xbox games from flea markets is going to support the DEVELOPERS? That the DEVELOPMENT COMPANIES get residuals on this shit? The same development companies that megacorps like Microsoft buy up, chew up, and shit out at record rates? A lot of Xbox 2 studios don't even fucking exist anymore because of how they're DESTROYED by the very companies these virtue signally faggot devs are actually whiteknighting for.

How have the trillion dollar entertainment companies tricked people into defending things against their own interest? How did Microsoft convince very intelligent people who are capable of low level programming, which is a form of engineering at that point, to defend their unmitigated greed and destruction of human artistic rights - both to produce (as they DMCA critical reviews and parodies) and to consume (as one should be able to enjoy any form of media without being permanently indebted to a company for the privilege)?

I hate them so fucking much
Not to be too political. But how do you think leftist, PhD graduates, and scientists suddenly became pro corporation and monopoly.

The soyboy manbaby has been programmed through social media gaslighting and institutionalized propaganda to bend over and let big corp fuck them, no questions asked. The lack of god and religion also makes le Disney or le epic Microsoft fill the space as their deity, and I'm saying this as an atheist.
 
Recently, the dev chrisps added a very loud high-pitched sound that plays if a user tries to load an iso file.
So, he tried to to do this:


But forgot how to be funny.

So really, this is about keeping dumb kids pirating games from shitting up his discord.
If I were working on an emulator as a programmer, I would NEVER have a Discord, let alone think about even using one. That’s just being asked to look suspicious, even with his attempt of not realizing that game software emulation will still be a thing with or without him.
 
  • Agree
Reactions: Markass the Worst
Some blessed autist grabbed an archive of the PR just prior to the DFE: https://archive.md/hLKmT

Here's the offending commit. https://archive.md/pdhkI

It contains bangers such as being nearly-helpful, then launching a Google search anyway:
C++:
} else if (extension == ".7z" || extension == ".zip" || extension == ".rar") {
    xe::ShowSimpleMessageBox(
        xe::SimpleMessageBoxType::Error,
        fmt::format("Xenia does not support running {} files, the file you "
                    "actually want to run is inside of this {} file.",
                    extension, extension));
    // user likely compressed the file themselves, then suffered a traumatic
    // brain injury that caused them to forget how archives work

    LaunchWebBrowser(fmt::format(
        "https://www.google.com/search?q=how+to+extract+{}+file", extension));

    xe::FatalError("Terminating due to user's lack of basic computer skills.");
}

And seething at others having fun that you sperg out and DFE like a coward:
C++:
uint64_t time_started_reading = Clock::QueryHostUptimeMillis();
// this isn't true really, they just won't be able to speak in discussion
// channels, and they can prove they have a physical copy
ShowSimpleMessageBox(
    xe::SimpleMessageBoxType::Warning,
    "PIRACY IS ILLEGAL, STAY OUT OF OUR DISCORD: ISO files are commonly "
    "associated with piracy, which the "
    "Xenia team "
    "does not support or condone. Any users who come to the Xenia discord "
    "for support who are found to be using pirated games will be banned "
    "immediately, regardless of whether they own a physical copy.");
uint64_t time_finished_reading = Clock::QueryHostUptimeMillis();
// join AFTER getting the end time, otherwise the beep duration will knock
// us out of idiot range
