Super Mario Eclipse is an ambitious fan-made mod of Super Mario Sunshine, designed to expand and enhance the original game with a wealth of new content and features.
Let’s spread the news far and wide so Nintendo takes it down.
It’s a set of patches for the base ISO, so hopefully it’s pretty resistant to takedown? In either case I’m downloading it now while it’s up.
It’s a patch that requires a “legitimately” acquired ROM to work. This is how sites like SMW World avoid C&D’s, they host patches and mods and don’t have the actual ROMs on site. Nintendo can’t take it down because none of their code is there.
Didn’t stop them for C&D plenty of mods for BOTW and TOTK.
Wasn’t that more about cracking the encryption on those games and leaking them early rather than modding them?
No? There’s no leaking happening over at gamebanana, why are you confusing it with the Yuzu situation?
Downloaded it right away anyway before it gets taken down lol since you never know
Real
Nintendo really only has a history of taking down fan remakes of existing Nintendo games or games that are charging money. They’ve never to my knowledge had a free fan game or romhack taken down nor do I think they’d have any sort of legal grounds to do so even if they wanted to. And this essentially boils down to a ROM hack. Which is almost certainly completely safe from Nintendo’s lawyers since it doesn’t contain any Nintendo made assets.
Quick before it’s gone!
No love for Linux (outside wine), eh? Well, dangit. I’d love to play it on my Orange pi zero 3 without making it explode.
Not sure where you got that idea. https://github.com/dolphin-emu/dolphin/wiki/Building-for-Linux
