That's not true. Pikmin uses Hagi, which is Nintendo's own emulator. Nintendo never used an open-source emulator in a release product.
See this fellow confused guy's thread: https://gbatemp.net/threads/pikmin-1-2-use-dolphin-emulator.635138/ https://gbatemp.net/threads/pikmin-1-2-use-dolphin-emulator....
- mrguyorama 3y agoNintendo has absolutely modified open source emulators for certain things https://www.nintendolife.com/news/2021/05/nintendo_accused_of_allowing_pirated_software_on_the_eshop_by_gba_emulator_developer https://www.nintendolife.com/news/2021/05/nintendo_accused_o... There has been accusations that some "in house" emulators are also open source ones with superficial changes They have also been found to use ROMs dumped by end users and posted on the normal ROM sites for their "play an old game" products.
- ThatPlayer 3y agoThat article isnt about Nintendo, only a publisher on Nintendo's store. The rom thing was only the same rom format. How are you going to tell if it's the same dumps or not? Roms are supposed to match 1:1, otherwise verification hashes projects like redump and no-intro wouldn't work.
