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
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
