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

Get with the times, grandpa! These days it’s all about subscription services and cloud gaming (that can be turned off at a whim)! It’s sooooo convenient :so-true:

The trick is to just get a raspberry pi and shove a terabyte of retroarch shit in there
