why legend of zelda series not made in pc?


Recommended Posts

Because Nintendo owns the rights to the Zelda series, and if they sold them to a PC game company, they (nintendo) would probably go bankrupt :laugh:

Don't get me wrong, I love gamecube and all the games, but Zelda, Metroid, and any Mario concoction seem to be the only things keeping the company afloat sometimes.

In the video game industry, a first-party developer is a developer who is part of a company that actually manufactures a video game console. First-party developers may either use the name of the company itself (like Nintendo), or have a specific division name (like Sony's 989 Studios). Unlike second-party developers, however, the first-party developer is considered part of the manufacturer, not a separate entity, and are wholly-owned by the console manufacturer.

If you wan't to play Zelda on the PC you can use emulators. Of couse to keep it legal you have to own the system and game. But if you do then it's compleatly legal to place the games on computer under emulation. Legend of Zelda: OT is a awsome game and I have it on my pc and then N64 is sitting away in the closet.

oh yes i played

legend of zelda:ocarina of time

legend of zelda:majora's mask

legend of zelda:link to the past

legend of zelda:minish the cap

with emulator's on pc

i need play legend of zelda:wind waker

but delphin is not very good emulator for gamecube

:shifty: :shifty: :shifty: :shifty: :shifty: :shifty: :whistle: :whistle: :whistle: :whistle:

cloudstrife unlike popular belief ,even if you own the games and the system its still illegal to have a rom image.

The emualtor itself is legal but the rom image isnt.

Unless the company specifically states that they allow it its illegal.

Then what ya supsto do wit the emulator? I guess im illegal. But if I own the game I see no problem with it.

I ended up picking up a gamecube from the pawn shop for 30 bucks to play it. For the system and game it ended up costing $40US :)

I doubt the gamecube will be perfectly emulated in any reasonable amount of time.

Actually, decent, popular Mario/Metroid/Zelda games are relatively few and far between.

Nintendo isn't "staying afloat", they've got a ton of cash in the bank.

If anything's driving Nintendo's bank balance at the moment, it's Pok?mon and Nintendogs.

    • Microsoft's fast coding model MAI-Code-1-Flash comes to Copilot Business and Enterprise by Karthik Mudaliar Microsoft’s recently announced MAI-Code-1-Flash model is now generally available to GitHub Copilot Business and Copilot Enterprise customers. With this support, organizations can have more centralized policy controls and billing while finally being able to use Microsoft’s lightweight, first-party coding model. According to GitHub’s announcement, Business and Enterprise plan administrators must enable the MAI-Code-1-Flash policy in Copilot settings before developers can access the model. Microsoft says that MAI-Code-1-Flash is for fast, iterative coding work rather than the most demanding architectural or debugging tasks. GitHub’s official model comparison page says that the model is great for "general-purpose coding and writing," while it excels at fast, accurate code completions and explanations Microsoft introduced MAI-Code-1-Flash on June 2 as part of a broader collection of internally developed MAI models. GitHub subsequently expanded support to Copilot CLI, the Copilot cloud agent, GitHub.com chat, GitHub Mobile, Visual Studio, JetBrains IDEs, Eclipse, and Xcode, but said support for managed Business and Enterprise customers was still on the way. In Microsoft’s own benchmark testing, MAI-Code-1-Flash scored 51.2% on SWE-Bench Pro, compared with 35.2% for Anthropic’s Claude Haiku 4.5. Microsoft also claimed that the model used up to 60% fewer tokens on SWE-Bench Verified. Do note that these are vendor-run results rather than independent measurements. The model is billed at provider list pricing under GitHub’s usage-based system. GitHub currently lists MAI-Code-1-Flash at $0.75 per million input tokens, $0.075 per million cached input tokens, and $4.50 per million output tokens. For organizations, the main incentive to use MAI-Code-1-Flash is likely to be efficiency rather than maximum capability. A smaller model that responds quickly and limits unnecessary output is quite useful for repetitive agent tasks at scale, especially after GitHub Copilot’s move toward usage-based billing. The "Flash" model is recommended for fast work and not necessarily for huge repositories with loads of context. It's better if teams compare their output with other larger models, especially if they're working on security-sensitive changes and complex, multi-file work.
    • yes AND no the "original" or plain/normal Optiplex 7010 won't be getting any more new firmware updates BUT the Optiplex SFF/SFF Plus {small form factor}, Micro/Micro Plus & Tower/Tower Plus 7010 editions DO get new updates such as this new one   and here are similar guides from the Dell web site for Dell systems: https://www.dell.com/support/kbdoc/en-us/000390990/secure-boot-transition-faq https://www.dell.com/support/kbdoc/en-us/000347876/microsoft-2011-secure-boot-certificate-expiration
