Is it legal in the UK to rip your own cartridges and game discs?
In the US it seems to be a grey area but there should be a strong fair use argument for ripping discs for personal use. And Sony vs. Connectix established something of a precedent for running game discs (though not ISOs) on emulators.
Regardless of prohibitions from copyright law and license terms, it would be nonsensical to punish people for downloading the identical ones and zeros that are stored on game discs or in game consoles that they own.
Interestingly enough, some licensed mini-consoles such as the PS Classic (as well as many mobile and compilation releases) use emulators that were developed by hobbyists.

With an adaptive sync gaming monitor, shouldn't it be possible to get an authentic/accurate frame rate?
People who care are probably going to use a CRT monitor anyway, but it would be nice to support adaptive sync.
