Emulators are legal and threads about emulators are fine as long as links to download pirated games aren't shared.
Emulators are not piracy. If you're dumping your own games, it's legal.
Goodness me, I don't know if this is a meme or genuine post anymore. Every emulator thread.
It doesn't require you to dump the BIOS, so no, it isn't a gray area at all.
Nah, as long as you have some means to dump the games. (Not sure what that would be without a Switch currently, though.)
This is where I'm at. This isn't emulation of some old console that has long since ceased production, this is a very recent system that is widely available.
Typically you would need a personal dump of your bios or something like that to be able to run most emulators for more recent systems. I don't know what the deal with this one is or anything since I don't intend to check it out until it's more complete. But if you do need files like that then there's no way to legally emulate the system without owning the system, so it's not much of a gray area in that case.
?
You know as well as I do that most people don't use them that way sadly.
Why does this matter in terms of justification for allowing emulation discussion on ResetEra? It can be done in a way that's legal. People, in fact, do it that way. What's the problem?
I never said they can't be discussed. For some people it's a hobby, for some it's a way to experience their games with better resolution and performance. Just saying most people don't use it that way. Always has been like that. Therefore it's a grey area.
