What do you think about emulation?

could you repeat that in english?

When you have no other way to play the game, it's great. Fuck moralfags for refusing to dump ROMs though.

its the only way to ensure that the original hardware i have lasts for another 20+ years.

They dont make them anymore you know....

So what's this dude's problem? If he has a cartridge of which no dump exists, and the hardware to make one, why is he not releasing it? Just to be a faggot?

its a typical case of an elitist seclusive fag who desires attention and people sucking his dick for something.

Yes, just to be a raging faggot, given enough pressure he would just smash the cartridge to spite people who actually give a fuck about a rom nobody ever heard of nor cares about.

You stupid?

What?

Not perfect but based nonetheless.

Byuu's created the hardware/software to properly dump SNES games. He's released that. As an added freebie he's also dumping every game in existence and sharing the hashes, so actual dumpers can share this all anonymously

So if I break into his house and steal that little thing from him I could make serious cash?

>someone has something I don't have
>why doesn't he let everyone have it?
>I should steal it from him and make money
Jealous faggots

Good idea
By the way, do want to be sued for 10 trillion dollars?

I don't care about video games or pirating. I'm a burglar probably black too

I'm a component of an ad hoc distributed archive.
Also I literally do scan/deDRM books to upload them to the Internet Archive and if you think that's bad, collectorfag, you can lick my balls

So what's the difference between a hash and a ROM?
They sound pretty similar but they obviously must be different if he's bragging about never releasing the ROM.

This guy give a reason or is it just straight
>Cant have people play this 20 year old game that is almost impossible to play otherwise cause illigal.

Do you work with the Dominion Archives?
You and your basement dwellers who play on Steam all day and download emulators because you're too young to have owned an N64 or PS1 when it came out doesn't count

The hash is a key that will validate the genuinity of the file

No. The game is worthless. The game will be released shortly cause a few dumpers will buy random cheap copies and check if they found it. Literally nobody else would buy this game

>literally collects money on patreon ostensibly to preserve games
Fuck off moron.

Hashes are valuable in themselves. That way when byuu's alt someone dumps it again they can verify it against his and be sure it's the same game.

Hash allows you to check if the thing is for real, an identification number.
The rom is the thing that you can play.

emulation is anti-preservation and the scene itself is full of trannies and weirdos. The only way to preserve these things is learn how to maintain real hardware. You don't see video enthusiasts obsessing over how to emulate CRTs, but how to maintain and preserve them. Emulation is preservation is a placebo statement. Emulation was never about preservation, it's about enjoying games conveniently and for free. Anyone who says otherwise is delusional. You'll do preservation efforts a lot better writing down capacitor lists for each sega genesis revision and service them yourself than you'd ever by contributing code to an emulator.

The video game equivalent of the automatic printer. The only people who have a moral issue with emulation are people who are scared their authentic possessions are going to drop in value.
Kinda reminds me of how the guy who invented the printer got the shit kicked out of him because people were afraid the technological progress would upset the status quo.

Emulation is still inferior to the real hardware, you know?

So it's completely worthless when the only people who actually have the ability to dump the files won't do it because they're massive attention whores.

So it's just a "Fuck you, this game exists but you aren't going to be able to play it unless somebody else finds a copy."
It's not like I want to play it that bad but that sounds like a pretty shit job of game preservation. Imagine someone finding a book and they tell everyone the title and author but refuse to document what's actually inside it.

it's cool that companies are realizing that emulation is the best way to make old games relevant again and releasing them...maybe one day we can go back to the wiishop era of wide availability but on pc instead, where the hardware won't become obsolete

absolutely fucking seething

By a defunct chink company for an I.P. never registered outside chinkland?

This, in every other hobby you have people who preserve the software and hardware, with games you have idiots who slap stickers all over their cartridges because "DUR I NEED END LABELS", who throw out their cases and put their discs in binders to "save space", who can't treat any of their hardware properly they're full of dirt, dust, bugs and shit because their rooms are fucking disgusting and look like a swamp.

Emulation community preserved the SNES CD ROM better than any collector faggots did. They made its capabilities work on real hardware too

No, it's a "I have this game that nobody has ever dumped and I'm about to dump it but I'm not leaking it myself this person over here across the room from me who is totally not me is going to dump it at some unspecified time in the future : )"

IIRC this guy actually lives in Japan and they take software piracy for 20 year old shit a lot more seriously than you'd think.

>I haven't used mesen, higan or blastem

Emulation is one of the best and most important things to have happened to video games.

Only if you fetishize mass-market plastic and care more about authenticity nostalgia than playing a good game or fixing the logic of old consoles in software for all time.

Emulation is good.

dumping would be the pro-emulation choice, physical collectors are the ones who hoard rare undumped games.

>who throw out their cases and put their discs in binders to "save space"

What possesses people to do this?

>Are you a library or an archive? No. You're not.
I actually do own a private library of more than 20 thousand books.

Not caring.

Did you ever see a collectors room? I don't understand why gamers can't keep their shit clean its fucking disgusting.
It takes work to take care of your shit, I have plastic protectors on all my boxes, constantly cleaning shit, my game cases are starting to show natural age and dirt that inevitably accumulates I have to go through hundreds and hundreds of games and one by one clean each case. Every single day I'm dusting shit.
It takes work, you can't just shove it on your shelf and never look at it again

Especially if you're an end user. Popping in an HDD, loading up OPL on a PS2, looking up what modes you need to enable is far superior for the end-user than having new versions of the emulater break everything, degrade performance, require additional adjustment and tweaks on a per-game level.

Emukeks will never understand, while they seethe over some feminine faggots collecting cartridge they'll forever be choked by the godly original hardware back up loader.

Which is why an emutranny is hoarding undumped games. Oh but it's even worse, he dumped them and is now refusing to release them. That's the funniest thing yet. When Kevtris and Analogue released the NT Mini, SuperNT users were allowed to dump their own games for back ups right on to the microSD. Byuu the emutranny spends thousands of dollars and Kevtris incidental feature ended up more undumped games getting put out there. That's the amazing thing, that faggot dedicated his life to it and was outdone by some weirdo baldy who cares more about preserving the original hardware than Byuu does.

space is more important than "conservation', boxes are completely worthless for everyone that doesn't have OCD

I wish the actual creators did a better job of preserving their games officially. What the fuck is up with that shit, emulation is treated as though its modern piracy.

Still inferior and not accurate

>Oh but it's even worse, he dumped them and is now refusing to release them.
Anyone who believes he's actually pro-emulation is retarded. He contributes absolutely nothing of value, it doesn't matter if he makes perfect dumps of rare games if he's the only person in the world with access to them. He's a typical snobby collector who claims to care about preservation just as long as it doesn't devalue his rare physical copies.

The only emulation has taught them is that morons will keep paying to buy games they've already bought over and over again.
It's why we will never get true backwards compatibility again because they can just do full price re-releases and sell digital copies (that won't work on the next console and will need to be bought again) and fucking idiots will lap it up

So hes just trying create plausible deniability is that it? So when some "random 3rd party" does drop it he cant be charged? I guess thats where im confused here. If he is holding the only known copy how will he be able to leak it AND deny being the leaker?

I've got boxes that are nearly 40 years old, I take care of my shit everything is in protectors, away from direct light, away from any heat source, and that's why they look the way they do, and they'll probably look just as good for another 40 years

Not wide enough

I need to get a good controller for my retropie. Any recommendations? I've got NES, SNES, GBA, and PlayStation on it currently.

If it's a publicly released game it's probably not the only known copy to actually exist. It's just that he's the only person who actually dumped his own cart to find out it was slightly different than the publicly available rom.

So just two emulators out of all the active ones? Quit making sweeping generalizations.

He's saying he won't dump it because he's a real person with a giant target on his back. He makes a lot of money creating tools that enable piracy, if he were to make a single fuckup, nintendo would be all over it and use the police to punish him to the fullest extent of copyright law.

In reality, he says he won't share the dump so that he has plausible deniability, then a week or so later he uploads it to a private tracker or throws it in a mega and shares it on a twitter or forum alt.

Literally never saw disc rot before outside of shitposts on Yea Forums posted by underage emuniggers

I have old floppy disc and cd rom games that no longer read, and they were all kept in ideal conditions and treated very well. Carts will take longer but discs, especially early ones are going to start dying off before their owners do.

Of course he shouldn't release the ROM. That would be copyright infringement.

Original system + rom loader = best if both worlds

>They dont care that you cant even buy a lot of these games.
You aren't entitled to play all the games that exist. Sometimes, you were just too late and missed the boat and will have to live with missing out on that experience.

Emulation is preservation, claiming it's strictly to play games for free is inaccurate when emulation is also used for legitimate retail releases.

Sure, it varies, but as long as you're using an accurate emulator (especially cycle-accurate emulators) you still have what's basically a program from 30 or so years ago (for example) running on modern hardware in the same way a virtual machine would.

Hardware preservation is important as well, I agree, especially as someone who collects both arcade boards and consoles, and the unfortunate reality is that a lot of systems have already hit their expiration dates.
Sega consoles need their shit capacitors replaced, disc-based systems everywhere have dead or failing lasers and disc trays, the pin connector on your average secondhand NES is so fucked up it takes 20 years just to load a game, etc.

Thankfully replacement parts are in production for a lot of systems, and to respond to your "capacitor lists for the genesis revisions" comment- sites like Console5 sell cap kits for the different Genesis models, and forums like Sega-16 are a trove of information about the Genesis hardware.

On the topic of emulation tho, hoarding undumped roms and acting self-righteous about it is a level of cocksuckery unlike any other and is defacto anti-preservation.
Just because it exists on *somebody's* hard drive somewhere doesn't mean it's fucking preserved, at the very least uploading it to the internet allows for indefinite copies to be made.

I may still buy new games occasionally, but at this point emulation is just less hassle.

Nobody cares, virgin. A box is not a game. Period. You don't actually care about games, you only care about physical stuff you can hoard, probably in a futile attempt to make your pathetic and empty life a little more meaningful. You should consider killing yourself.

>what are digital backups

Are collectorfags just retarded?

What's the point of dumping your own roms anyway? They're not magically any different from the ones on the internet

PCSX2 is a beast on its own. PS2 is a pain to emulate and the emulator is filled with hacks to go around decade old code for old PCs.

If you really want to play PCSX2, use the software renderer. It's actually pretty damn good. You can also find progressive scan patches on the forums for some games so you can get rid of interlacing artifacts and deinterlacing ghosting

forums.pcsx2.net/Thread-No-interlacing-codes

Sometimes you may find ones online that are bad dumps or fucked with something. Doesn't happen often depending on where you look, but in the rare circumstance that it does, providing your own (hopefully competent) dump can get around the issue obviously. Otherwise doing your own dumps is basically just "feel good on the conscience" stuff for those scared by digital piracy.

No, we don't play on emulators

I was using software mode, but either due to loading speeds from an old external or the emulator, it ran something like Ratchet Deadlocked at a pretty cumbersome and slow FPS. Might be my rig though. Klonoa 2 meanwhile ran fine for the most part but required constant swapping sound and clamp shit on start up to get around graphical and audio issues.

So you're just retarded, got it.

That's kind of my point. There aren't tradeoffs between dumps. There's one objectively best dump and everything else is worse.

Thanks for confirming you are retarded.

This, I have the 8 hours version of "Greed" by Erich von Stroheim, but I'm suck a dick that I burn a photogram reel each new year's day to fuck the whole world up:
Depending on who you ask, the original cut ran for 8 or 9 hours (some quote an even longer run time) and ran over 42 film reels, but was cut down to about 4 hours (24 reels) by Von Stroheim himself (partly against his will), after which time he insisted that he could not (or would not) cut another single frame of footage from the film.

The film was then given to Von Stroheim's colleagues film director Rex Ingram and editor Grant Whytock, who cut it down to an even shorter 140 minutes (18 reels), before Ingram sent it back to Von Stroheim, who stated "if you cut one more frame I shall never speak to you again". The 140 minute cut was screened to the public, and became the definitive cut of the film, although in 1999, a 4-hour cut was released, with the aim of being closer to the director's original vision, although since by that time the additional scenes had been lost, still photographs were used in their place.

Only 12 people have seen the full 8 hour cut at a special screening in January 1924, many of them proclaiming that they had just witnessed the greatest film of all time and that it was unlikely a better film would ever be created. It's not entirely clear how the additional scenes became lost (allegedly, the footage was destroyed by a janitor), although many rumors of existing copies have been spread and some later disproved. Von Stroheim himself has confirmed that Benito Mussolini was once in possession of a copy of the original cut, but the fate of this copy (as well as the other rumored copies) is entirely unknown, and none of the lost scenes have been publicly discovered to this day. The original 8 hour cut has been dubbed by some as the "holy grail" of film archivists.

>we didn't preserve these things in the past, so we shouldn't preserve things now.

Shit happens and things are lost to time, but if we can make and keep copies to preserve what we've created, we should strive to do so. To say or do otherwise is quite defeatist.

In "Satantango" film there is a scene of people dancing in a tabern during 17 minutes non stop.
You can hack in images more than in words.

If it's a game worth playing, it's a game worth buying, I feel. I only ever emulate if it's too much of a hassle to play on original hardware.

Again, nobody seems to "accept" this fact at all. From NES to PS2, virtually every single game is a google search away, and most people seem to enjoy that and don't find it morally reprehensible or even a waste of time.

The emulation cat is well out of the bag at this point, and even if in the future they really crack down and it's relegated to just illegal torrents and dedicated weirdos doing it alone, it'll keep rolling for a long while.

It is illegal. The creators of the emulator do not have the legal right to reproduce and disseminate bootleg games in either a physical medium or an electronic one. It hurts the companies who make video games. People who would otherwise buy the system and games will download the emulator and pirate the games. The people who worked hard to develop the system and make games are screwed out of money. Even if you weren't going to buy the system and game, you are still stealing their stuff if you emulate. The industry won't be as lucrative and quality will suffer as a result. Look at the type of music that came out once Napster was popular in the late 90s. It was all boy band crap and crappy Nu-metal. The same thing is happening now with video games. The industry is focusing on free to play, iphone, and android games because the majority of the people won't pirate those games. The majority of those people also want quick, shallow, single serving games, so that's what the industry is becoming. Pirates act like you're stupid for having morals and supporting the industry and blatantly admit to stealing without any remorse. Games are reasonably priced. Even brand new games are $60. After a short while they are $20-30. I can't even think of any hobby that is cheaper and offers lasting enjoyment like video games. he only way to preserve these things is learn how to maintain real hardware. You don't see video enthusiasts obsessing over how to emulate CRTs, but how to maintain and preserve them. Emulation is preservation is a placebo statement. Emulation was never about preservation, it's about enjoying games conveniently and for free illegally. Anyone who says otherwise is delusional.

No, he's actually never going to dump it, that picture is old as fuck. People give him money to buy himself games and suck his dick, and in turn he does literally nothing that could be called game preservation. He's a furry to boot, which I normally wouldn't give two shits about if he weren't an autistic faggot, but this way, all I can offer is an "it figures."

Where do these people live that keeping game cases is "too much space"? I live in a 600 sq ft house. I am able to keep 300 games WITH CASES by buying two shelves.

Ok, I laughed, good one dude

Your bitching does not change reality. People will dump roms, make emulators and continue to not give a shit. You have to work with that, not this fantasy world where it's impossible to emulate games. And it would have to be, otherwise people will do it
Oh, and F2P cancer is a thing because the profit margins are insane, especially relative to the development time. That's why it's being forced into normal games now

You're not gonna convince anyone here with your paragraphs, bub.

You're an idiot. Bootleg games, at least in the modern sense, are not only on commercially dead platforms, but legally abandoned, too. Nintendo and Sega both let their licenses lapse for their 8bit and 16bit hardware years ago, that's why you see GameStop selling Retrons you massive fucking retard.

Without cases you would need only a folder and wouldn't have a eyesore in your living room

I hope someone doxxes him so a hero does what's right.

If it only was a more well knwon game I would understand him not dumping for fear of copyright infringiment. But it's a fucking revision of a obscure shitty pachinko game.

People love my collection.

If I buy a nes and a copy of faxanadu on ebay, which is the only way (to my knowledge) of playing it, Nintendo, the owners of the IP (now Konami iirc), nor any of the devs see a single cent. I'm not hurting them.

If the NES Classic had literally every single game on it, that'd be one thing. But no legal owner of the IP nor its creators currently has a means of buying the game directly from them, which makes the "hurting the companies and devs" argument specious.

Whatever though, these are turning into dissertations. Imma keep my backlog of games that I enjoy and not lose a wink over it. Write me off as a bastard or whatever if you must.

He's byuu, he made bsnes which is cool but he himself is a huge faggot.
Somebody sent him a bunch of PAL games but fucked up on the packaging so the labels got torn off, and instead byuu threw a huge stink at USPS (who didn't even lose the package, DHL did) and when he go his package on-time he didn't even apologize for his wrongful blaming.
When the Super NT came out he got all mad and shit and made a really long blog post about how it's fucking shit while shilling his own patreon so he can "continue preserving games" despite never releasing anything he """""preserves""""" such as label scans and romdumps.

some games are emulated perfectly like persona 5.

lol

imagine actually caring if something violates copyright law. What are you the CEO of a big coporation? Copyright laws are inherently unjust and as such should be disobeyed. The only relevant question is if you'll get caught. The legality of whatever emulation or ROM sharing is irrelevant since the laws themselves represent the unholy union of corporations and government that is literally destroying our society as we speak.

>not accurate
retard those are cycle accurate emulators

I would buy the first Nier if it weren't so elusive and expensive. What's up with that?

Did you see games as "services" or "products"?

If games are products then somebody who owns the game owns the value of that product. And if you would like one you need to pay them.

anyone else here galaxy-brained emulation on a 980ti with analog input to a CRT monitor? I got an old PS3 for emulation to a Sony Trinitron

This, people think it's sick when they see a shelf full of games especially CIB retro games

So in the end it's about scalpers getting mad they can't compete with free emulators, and that the products they bought aren't as valuable as they "should" be

No it does not, if anything the company gets free money with zero effort by remastering the game or just straight up selling you an emulator.
Faggot

How will your master get any of anyone money when anyone buying old stuff is 100% getting them from second hands on eBay as the company does not produce that product anymore?
They literally get no money whether you emulate or don't you stupid faggot

On the topic of emulation tho, hoarding undumped roms and acting self-righteous about it is a level of cocksuckery unlike any other and is defacto anti-preservation.
Just because it exists on *somebody's* hard drive somewhere doesn't mean it's fucking preserved, at the very least uploading it to the internet allows for indefinite copies to be made.
couldn't agree more. Byuu has the right idea about scanning all the stuff in good quality (even the PCBs) but having it all in one or two places, out of anyone's reach doesn't mean it's preserved. (Yeah I know he uploads the scans, which is good)

He's bragging about the fact that dumbasses give him money and free video games for the privilege to go to a completely different website that isn't his to look up a bunch of numbers and letters that may or may not even have been uploaded by him. As far as preservationists go he's not even important nor involved, he only holds any clout as the creator of a bsnes (which isn't even updated anymore, bizhawk has a far superior fork that's even more accurate and works with Super Mario Kart).

You know that all og Xboxs are ticking fucking time bombs cause Microsoft a shit, right?

Emulation isn't preservation my ass, there's only so much that can be done for some of the original hardware. Everyone that gives a shit about preservation that isn't an idiot does both if they can, anyways.Also quit avatarfagging, tapdancing christ.

first time I've fucked up quoting this badly

>REEEEEEEE YOU CAN ONLY PLAY GAMES HOW I WANT YOU TO PLAY THEM!!!!!!!

Fuck off faggot.

If there are infinite copies of a product, restricting the availability of these copies to increase their value is called a cartel and generally regarded as morally reprehensible. There's also no risk of tragedy of the commons since there's no adverse byproduct of overconsumption like pollution.

The hash is important because it ensures that if someone uploads their own copy/raids his house for his copy everyone will know it's legit

So you view games as a service.

Nope.

Nintendo doesn't need to. They just have to call their ISP and file a complaint with them, too many complaints and Comcast will add a premium to their bill or hand over their info to Nintendo so they can take the person to court.

They have done it before and will do it again. Pirates are technically criminals in the west.

that's why flashcarts exist

But what if the games you want to play are so old that the batteries for their save functions are dead.

I can't fix them myself, that would be reverse engineering and unlawful tampering of copywritten hardware.

Man you're a faggot, just switch the fucking batteries you think Nintendo put a censor in your Famicom carts?

it is their intellectual property, they hold copyright, and are still actively making money with Super Mario Bros. through the Switch, Wii U, and 3DS shops, so legally it makes sense why they would.

Fuck people who feel like they can break the law just because of nostalgia or because they feel like they're doing the world a fucking service by stealing intellectual property or actual ROMs and shit.

>"Uwu, but when companies or artists create media, it belongs to the world now."

Fuck off. I say they sue the bastards for every copy downloaded in addition to any other moneys to be collected. Hell, Commodore Products (the company that currently exists since CBM went bankrupt) should sue for developing for the C64 without a license.

Half the cost, double the autism

I'll never understand this cognitive dissonance. Just admit you like to steal things. In the end, you'll feel better about yourself and won't need to live a lie.

Wrong the hash is there to verify the dumped ROM is a clean replication of the physical copy's data, and needing to actually verify a ROM hasn't been a necessity since around 2004 when the scene got better tools/methods and rom sites began to all collaborate with one another on making sure they have the proper dumps (which may or may not just be everyone downloading from the same source). Even if you somehow don't have a proper dump it's most likely just one with a header or intro in which case you can just load up a hex editor and remove it yourself.

What a scam, I'd sell you the game and manual for 30 bucks easy, i got 3 of them.

That's bullshit though. Emulating an old game whose developer isn't selling it anymore (or maybe even the dev itself doesn't exist anymore lmao) isn't hurting financially anyone. Well, maybe it hurts the hoarders that want to sell their old stuff at insane prices :^)

Because other people who bought the products are selling the products.

No, Nintendo is keeping an eye on them.

I own a switch and I owned a Wii and a DS, doesn't mean I throw a fit when popes emulate those DEAD systems that are decaying and getting unplayable with age, stop being a greedy fuck and let peoples enjoy things.

rom dumps are a thing. People share the files embedded amongst each other on their own accord.
There were studies which prove that piracy barely even makes a dent on sales.
Studios don't care about their product lile you or I would out of nostalgia, they just want your money, and proof of that is countless hackjob ports or 4k films which looled worse than youtube fan edits.
It's a self perpetuating cycle, and I can't afford to pay such exorbitant prices for what is effectively a children's toy, if I'm being honest.
Studios and publishers should up their game and make better security for the crap they peddle if they don't want people giving it to others.

Why would I? I won't go to jail :^)

This is why you don't liberally torrent whatever without a VPN or some shit. But torrents put your IP out for anyone to see, and the government does track most major piracy sites to see what goes where. If you're pirating via torrents and don't have something to save your ass, it's your own damn fault you got caught.

our cops have better things to do like chasing drug dealers and thieves.

No they're not. They might be released physically but video games are still digital code.

Not only that but the supposed "not making a dent in sales" is derived from interviewing pirates and asking them "do you buy the game you download afterwards if you like it?"

It's fucking junk science.

Because gamers hate old graphics, fullscreen and low amount of FPS. And people will pay less for the same game. A lazy "remaster" allows publishers to charge more.

I'm aware, but a lot of Emulatorfags don't bother attempting to contribute to such efforts and are more interested in the free games aspect. My post was also more about the attitude of both parties, and people who sing the praises of emulation tend to be hard to put up with. But any words collectors spew out will make one's fucking blood boil and make the annoyance seem tame by comparison.

Games are not art in Germany and for that reason, any of them featuring swastikas get censored.

often sub-par modeling, texturework, sound design, and art direction.
Sometimes the originals use proprietary engines of which the license has expired, so hastily built shoddy replacements need to be made.
FFX HD is a good example of both cases being the cause of the game looking off, it's unironically best looking when emulated.

So you admit the preservationist excuse for emulation is just a farce. Pirating is just some egotistical random shit people do when theyre lazy because its convenient, its just a way to circumvent a sale so you can play a toy for free. Im not so severe about it, but its such a lazy thoughtless activity that its usually disingenuous to turn around and defend yourself as a second sales-booster pirate just because you saw it posted years ago. Its just something unimpprtant you do in the laziest moment of your day without any regards to the consequences

>AND STOP USING FILTERS AND SAVE STATES

Too bad. You aren't entitled to play all the children's toys that exist. Sometimes, you were just too late and missed the boat and will have to live with missing out on that experience.

Nobody else would care about unauthorized distribution of shit that went out of stock decades ago other than idiots who bought 10+ copies of some bargain bin game hoping to make a quick buck 20 years later.

it's always funny to see a retarded corporatelicker paying thousands of dollars every month to play retarded games while I just pirate everything and have a nice dinner with my girlfriend instead of paying 60 bucks that night. I guess I'm special ;)

Yea Forums and Yea Forums along with Yea Forums Yea Forums and every other interest board doesn't give a shit about piracy because it's the fucking norm on those boards.

My Wii discs survived the shutdown of the store though.

There's retards everywhere constantly spewing the same shit over and over again, very often bringing whatever it is into completely different discussions for what appears to be no good reason. Eventually, should you stay here long enough, you either shrug it off and recognize that they're REEEEing for no good reason and ignore them or you turn into a retard yourself and immediately begin spouting off the contrary to whatever they keep going on about, only to eventually find yourself bringing up whatever you believe constantly into different discussions, for what appears to be no good reason.

Then YOU are the demons.

Uhh doc I'm not feeling too good, I think this is the wrong prescription.

Emulation is fucking amazing. And the people who say "I want to play the game in its original shitty resolution through a shitty composite cable" are literally fucking morons.

Example: I still have my original N64 with Ocarina of Time. But I play it emulated on my laptop. The resolution is VASTLY superior, so it looks WAY better. Plus I can move saved games around, if needed. Plus I can fast forward through all the unskippable cutscenes, which VASTLY improves the gameplay experience.

I fired up my N64 with Ocarina the other day but it was just shit. Shit resolution, blurry as fuck, and I couldn't skip the unskippable cutscenes. Yes it was great in its day, but why would I choose a worse experience now when I can get an objectively better one?

Emulation, once competent, is always better than the original hardware. Because you can play the game on a much more powerful machine, resulting in higher resolution and higher frame rates.

Pic related is Breath of the Wild running on Cemu (a Wii U emulator), at 120 fps, and probably some crazy high resolution too.

if everyone could just MAKE cars from nothing, we wouldn't need the car industry, ever.

the amount of pirates, outside of fucking BR huehue shitholes IE 3rd world countries, is so fucking SMALL compared to everyone that buys on PC or Consoles.

For some reason, I think this is a /leftypol/ LARPer.

Was this post meant for ? Cause I'm not the one who made the car analogy.

I'm not dumb enough to buy digital so I dont have any.

I mean, yeah. If your argument is that you shouldn't emulate because corporations lose potential profit, all of those situations do apply. And if it's not yoyr argument, then what harm has emulation done?

Blargg's NTSC filter is a straight up improvement, though, since it brings you closer to how it was on an old TV. I assume you guys are referring to Eagle2x or whatever the fuck they're called that make the pixel art look horrific.

because you can't believe any /pol/itician can be that retarded? They're always crying about communists.

>How do you not know what a filehash is?
Why WOULD you?

I just use my Xbox 360 wired controller, which isn't ideal, but it's perfectly fine for me. I've got the C-buttons mapped to the d-pad because I found that mapping them to the right thumbstick was problematic. Since obviously an analog joystick is not designed to make only four separate digital inputs, so it never worked how I wanted it to.

This does mean I have to reach over to the d-pad with my right thumb in order to access C-items, but it's really not that bad. I usually assign the most important C-item to C-right so it's less of a stretch.

Oh yes you're right, I'm sorry, playing an N64 game in 320x240, through a shitty component cable, using a shitty analog stick on the original N64 controller, is obviously way better than playing the game in a MUCH higher and superior resolution, with whatever controller you want, and with the ability to fast forward through unskippable cutscenes.

If you're an absolute fucking moron that denies objective reality, that is.

>And you'll get a vastly superior image since you'll get higher resolution and you won't be viewing it through analog video.
This is wrong for one simple reason.

What do you think devs were designing these games for? Because it wasn't high end LCD or OLED panels. These games were made for CRTs. Modern screens offer an objectively inferior experience with incorrect pixel layouts, failed dithering, they're just not comparable experiences.

Even handhelds aren't safe. I'd much rather play gameboy stuff on my backlit GBA over any other option. Because it's the only system where the pixel spacing looks right, because it's the screen the games were made for. Hell, some early games even require mods to look decent on the backlit screen, because they came out on the lower contrast OG screens.

That's a fact though, not why I should list anything for you.

>They dont care that you cant even buy a lot of these games.
List me games you can no longer purchase user

why should I?

I swear only the gaming community has these weird piracy moralfags.

You'd never find this shit with movies or music.

lol

Most stuff that's older than 5 years, realistically.

I know what you're going to say, theoretically you can buy these games off some dude on eBay or YJA once every few years, but you aren't really buying the game when you fund reseller scum. Even things like GoG are usually just collections of faggots who bought rights from studios going out of business, it's not like you can buy enough copies of these games to get the band back together for a sequel.

Even when it's a company that still exists, buying a billion copies of a Super Mario ROM isn't going to lead to a new Super Mario being made. You'll get garbage like the 2D Wii game, or the shitty 3D ones where the only thing in common is that the main character is called Mario and he wears overalls. Because the programmers behind the originals have long since left, or completely changed their opinions on things because it's been 30 fucking years.

difference being the people who start these arguments are piratefags themselves not moralfags and only the gayman community has pirates who enjoy arguing over every little thing

Bonus: Grand Theft Auto (excluding PlayStation Classic).

Because a dozen or so copies circulating amongst collectorfags isn't the same as being able to buy these games normally. Of course you already knew that, you're just a pedantic autist screeching about piracy and feebly trying to win an internet argument.
