I'm waiting in for the headline in a couple days or so:

Another hack at Gamefreak: Hackers upload fixed source codes

Unknown hackers have fixed the frame rate issues while upgrading the graphics quality to the level of the earliest Switch titles like Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild.

[–] dch82@lemmy.zip 8 points 2 days ago

Lol, but Game Freak's code is spaghetti, to the point where decomps are easier to read than the actual source files.

Good. Couldn't have happened to a worse company other than Nintendo.

Now people can verify if Gamefreak's excuses for not including all Pokemon in each game since the Switch games are real. And verify how low effort their games are.

[–] DesolateMood@lemm.ee 18 points 3 days ago (2 children)

Source code is only for HG/SS and B2W2, so we still can't verify anything about the newer genes

Pokemon could be made in RPG maker in like 5 minutes.

[–] Matriks404@lemmy.world 17 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago) (2 children)

That's probably something a person who has no clue about Pokemon could say. You underestimate how many mechanics older games contain, since like half of them are not obvious for casual players. Although I am not sure about gens newer than IV (Diamond and Pearl is the most recent I've played), since I haven't played them. But most people agree that the best games were around that period (Gen IV, or V), and they only become worse over the years.

You got me. It would probably take more than 5 minutes to do. You saw through my web of lies.

Is there a remind me bot like reddit?

[–] pineapplelover@lemm.ee 7 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago)

Surprised someone hasn't made one yet

Edit: someone developed it but nobody is hosting it lol. I would host it but my server is broken right now.

[–] smeg@feddit.uk 1 points 2 days ago

Hopefully not a public one. It would be perfect if it was a direct message (or even better, built in to your client) but all those request comments and responses from the bot were basically spam to everyone else!

Terabytes of the same game, just in different colors.

Next headline "Hackers disappointed that the hacked source code is apparently just the same as the last 16 games"

In my head this is a retribution for financing hackers that attacked Internet Archive and nobody can convince me otherwise

[–] technomad@slrpnk.net 36 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Nintendo was responsible for that?

[–] misk@sopuli.xyz 56 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago) (4 children)

It's like Lenin said, you look for the person who will benefit... And, uh... You know, you'll, uh... You know what I mean.

The Dude

„Who benefits the most” from attacking Internet Archive? Big copyright holders whose content was distributed via Internet Archive. The reason given by the group claiming responsibility is so silly I don’t believe it.

[edit] I’ll add to this comment so that I don’t have to reply to everyone specifically.

I don’t believe that if you wanted to attack USA (as people claiming responsibility did) you’d attack it in a way that benefits big corporations most. It sounds like a flimsy distraction from true perpetrators.

So you're just making wild assumptions?

Patent the code and sue Nintendo when they release the game.

[–] abfarid@startrek.website 50 points 3 days ago (2 children)

You can't patent code, and it's automatically copyright protected. Nintendo just needs to prove they wrote the code originally, which should be easy.

Somebody had to find out whether there really was a Mew under the truck in Red and Blue after all.
