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:

spoiler

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

There’s a HD texture pack for Twilight Princess (Gamecube version) which looks AMAZING. You should really try it out if you’re not that far into the game. Play that shit in 4K. Same goes for Windwaker. Shit’s even better than the Nintendo remaster!

It’s worth it just for the smooth fonts and HUD graphics alone IMO.

There are multiplayer mods for Wind Waker and Twilight Princess if that’s something you think you might enjoy too.

Based on Grimbeard’s recent review I decided to emulate The Darkness. It was a hassle to get a PS3 and figure out how to dump games from it but boy oh boy is it worth it to do everything by the book

Interestingly for RPCS3 you get the BIOS from Sony’s own website, which is thoughtful of them and cuts out the middleman
