Is there any information about this that’s not a video?

Thank you! That explained everything I wanted to know and more.

What an incredibly annoying AI voiceover

[–] apotheotic 10 points 4 months ago (1 children)

It appears to be his real voice, but the way he has narrated it has some really strange inflections and is generally monotonous, which gives it that ai generated uncanny feeling.

Reminds me of that person who got flagged as a bot for typing robotic messages and it turns out they were autistic.

That's his voice, bro

[–] ByroTriz@lemmy.ml 4 points 4 months ago

Wow! That's incredible

I'm hoping it's not just an emulator with spam.

Cue Nintendo’s DMCA takedown in 3…

It's like with decomps: Nintendo can't do shit about it.

Why is that, isn’t it technically a derivative work?

[–] Prunebutt@slrpnk.net 4 points 4 months ago (1 children)

All copyrighted material is stripped from the repos and has to be extracted from a valid rom by the user.

The reverse engineered code doesn't count as derivative.

Super Mario 64 has been decompiled for years now.

I am not a lawyer so can’t comment on the reverse engineered code counting as derivative. Personally, I thought it would be considered that. The time doesn’t mean much considering Yuzu.

Yuzu | Initial release | January 14, 2018; 6 years ago |

Yeah, but the Yuzu devs allegedly bragged about TotK running on EA builds before release. The decompilers weren't that stupid.

Decompilations are about as legal as emulators (that don't circumvent encryption).
