Before I say anything, I would like to clarify that I don't actually do this, or indulge in piracy in general.
But this is something that's been on my mind lately. It would be very convenient to simply emulate many of the older retro games I own on PC. I have a few VC games on Wii, and I think the store has been shut down now, anyway, preventing re-download.
Sadly, I do not have a way of ripping the data from their carts/disks, and I think that ripping is technically the only legal way to obtain emulatable games.
If this topic is considered too controversial, mods can feel free to lock it, I'd understand why.
I don't think I'd personally do it anyway even if it were legal, I wouldn't wanna risk malware.
