Fuck Nintendo. I will never buy anything from them. They’re basically cyber terrorists; they abuse the legal system to cause chaos and make everything shittier. I wonder what terrible things they’re going to do next. They’re no longer just a run of the mill shitty corporation. They’re an advanced threat to the entire tech world and they have to be stopped at all costs.
Download all the roms, folks. I downloaded basically every rom years ago and now every time I see stuff about Nintendo going after roms I breath a sigh of relief knowing I have them all backed up on multiple hard drives.
I’ve never used Lutris but I know cs4 can work in wine, I’ve done it before. (I use Gimp now before anyone points out that I should be using Gimp instead). The method I’ve found for manually getting random wine stuff to work is as follows:
Step 1. Get winetricks and figure out how wineprefixes work.
Step 2. Scroll through the winetricks dll menu, make an educated guess on what library to try installing and install it. Direct x and netframework are often the first things I try but c++ runtimes are important too.
Step 3. Try the program after installing the thing you guessed it needed. If it works better than before, go back to step 2 and repeated until the program works correctly. If its borked so badly it doesn’t even start, delete the wineprefix, go back to step 2 and pick different dlls.
Pro-tip: test your program by running it in a terminal instead of double clicking an icon. Sometimes when it crashes, it leaves behind useful information such as “error: missing mscorefonfs” or whatever in which case you should see if the thing it’s complaining about is in your winetricks dll menu.
I’ve had success using a cracked Office 2013 installation. The older ones don’t have as sophisticated anti piracy measures and don’t unactivate themselves as often.
I eventually got my dad to use Libre office. There are several different ui layouts and one of the is really similar to ms office.
Congratulations, Nintendo, you forced us to find a way to distribute illegal source code. I hope it was worth it.
I’ve long since been boycotting Nintendo and plan to continue doing so for the foreseeable future. Tux Kart is better than Mario Kart anyway.
The only wrong option is paying for it.
