Have you had fun playing backups of games you legally own on physical media lately? Dumped any BIOS files from the old consoles you own?

I'm sure you have- after all, we're all about doing things legally and being above board here, aren't we? :wink:

In all honesty, I get why the official forums, subreddits, discords and what have you for different emulator projects have the anti-piracy stances they do- they don't want years of work being cease and desisted by Sony or Nintendo because of people linking to roms. I still think the pretense is funny

    Some of them are really fucking annoying about it though. Someone closed a ticket on the rpcs github because the log files indicated it might've been a pirated copy :matt-jokerfied:

      I see this a lot in PCSX2 forum posts when trying to find solutions to PS2 emulation issues :owl-pissed:

        It's so fucking easy to pay lip service to the anti-piracy thing and then just pretend you don't see that the release group's name is in the log files. These fucking nerds.
