@sanderev As an owner of a “piracy machine”, I just want to note that there is a difference between preserving games and piracy. Nintendo or Sega is not likely to re-sell their 30 year games at full price, and I already own NSO, so the only reason I use these methods is too play games that I couldn’t play otherwise Ex. Mario RPG, Earthbound, Golden Sun, the list goes on. Even games that I have that I am technically discrediting Nintendo from my money, like Pokémon Mystery Dungeon or Advance Wars, don’t do enough as remasters to entice me to buy it. If Nintendo really wanted people to not use these methods, they would provide enough of a reason to purchase a remaster, such as an actual new way to play an old game. However, I draw the moral line in the sand at N64 and GameCube games, as those are graphically advanced enough to perhaps offer a fair deal at full price. But, playing games that no company offers me the choice to play or a better alternative than just playing the game is not piracy, it’s just good business.
