all games should be on PC and will be on PC one way or another

This.

>Future consoles should be emulated
Too bad the PS9 has no games.

My stance is

>Current consoles

Fine if you own the console and the game

>Old consoles

Free game to emulate even if you don't own the console or the game if they aren't being sold in stores anymore

This.

Old games should be allowed to be emulated as they're no longer being manufactured.
Current and future games should not be allowed, unless you own the game or if its been say 3-4 years.

Wasn't the GBA emulated before it was even released?

>As they're no longer being manufactured
They're being sold digitally.

An emulator is a boring piece of software similar to an archive manager or a pdf viewer, it simulates hardware and has nothing inherently to do with games.

On a side note, do you also limit what developers? Do you find it better to emulate a game from a big developer rather than a small one?

>I feel like now would be a good time to discuss emulation, more importantly, what is your limit in terms of when it was made?

PS2, Dreamcast, and Gamecube. I can emulate Wii but I find it aggravating due to having to map control sticks to act as the wii mote pointer and direction controls. Makes games like Metroid Other M and Super Paper Mario a pain due to it requiring two different orientations to play. Haven't bothered with Wii U emulation since I plan on getting a switch eventually

it's easier to play many wii games with kb/m

Atlus really fucked themselves didn't they? All this has done is given RPCS3 more advertising.

How is that even possible?

Emulation will never be as good as the original hardware.

This but remakes/rereleases should be emulated.. unless you're a poorfag like me.

it can be better

classic edition is a bad example since it's not powerful. pretty sure there are unofficial emulators that can do the touch fuzzy effect perfectly.

It was made of highly documented (and old) off-the-shelf hardware

The GBA was released in Japan in March 2001 and in the US in June 2001. A proof of concept called GBAEmu was released in September of 2000 that could run demos and by August of 2001, VisualBoyAdvance 0.4 could basically run the whole system's library.

If anything this'll force them to do a PC release, because they're clearly salty that people are getting it unofficially and that's not going to stop.

Man I hope so, just to stop consolewars. But even if they did that I'm sure more people would pirate it compared to yesterday. They gave a middle fingers to a potential audience, it makes no sense.

Is there a DS emulator for pc that has native fast forward that can run on a toaster from the mid early 2010s?

I wanna play pokemon on the ds but holy shit playing pokemon without fast forward is impossible.

desmume though might be too demanding if your PC is shit

DeSmuME is the only worthwhile DS emulator so go try it out

It runs kinda shit on an old laptop I have with a 2.3ghz Core 2 Duo

Last time I tried my version, which is a few years old now I think, the fast forward didn't work at all.

Has that emulator upgraded in the past few years?

DeSmuME might work. You will have glitches, though. The devs hate Pokémon and won't fix them.

obviously but it worked several years ago too

as long as its not current gen, emulation is fine. and if it is current gen emulation is fine too, but more of a grey area imo.

Every computer-based technology ever made ought to be emulated.
Hell, in a lot of ways video games are simply imperfect reality emulators.

>They're being sold digitally.
Which isn't manufacture you stupid donut

>AVG
>Foxit
>iTunes
>Quicktime
>Steam
>Bitlord
>Curse Client
>Internet Explorer
>Unverified copy on Windows 7 Ultimate
Disgusting.

SDK/documentation leak with tests and a tech demo, and simple enough hardware. Obviously couldn't run games until games were actually released though.

>1024x768
>gaming on a "laptop"

>not mentioning the resolution from the early 90's

In other emulation news

Anyone know how to play games, fullscreen at 240p?

buy a crt

What do you think I'm using BOI?

Cheeky cunt, you know that's not how it works

I like emulation

I feel like all consoles, their games, and their schematics, should be public domain after 15 years. That way no matter what content can't be "lost" for more than 15 years.

Preventing emulation is an infringement on another person's right to free speech/expression.

Emulators promote piracy. You're literally stealing from hard working developers.

>DeSmuME is the only worthwhile DS emulator
*blocks your path*

u mad?

I don't fucking care about corporations. I have given them thousands and they will still shit on me, because that is what a money hungry company does. nothing is safe in terms of what I feel like emulating and stealing.
