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
I don't even buy games anymore unless it's gonna get a lot of multiplayer time with friends. Everything else is unashamedly stolen lmao, nintendo can drink from my ass
It's hilarious how there are active Switch emulators and people playing leaked entire games before they are officially released
I played the entirety of Pokemon Scarlet 8 days before the commercial release.
I played Monster Hunter Rise 4 days before it's commercial switch release.
I played those games, online through the Ryujinx LDN build, sometimes a week before they came out. The switch emulation scene is amazing.
Emulator developers are incredibly talented people.
Honestly even as someone who's really enjoying Scarlet/Violet if you're playing it on an emulator odds are you're getting the better gameplay experience lmao
it even has working multiplayer....
Oh my friends and I have had an absolutely incredible time playing it emulated. It's become our go to putz about game when we aren't fooling around on TP/WW/BOTW multiplayer mods.
I know, it rocks. Nothing but respect for my motivated treatthief troops
