It's harmless and easy to get away with, but downloading and using copyrighted content without paying for it is illegal. But in 20 years when Nintendo and the market has moved on, emulation will preserve an entire generation of games for posterity.Įdit: Stop downvoting OP, he's correct. I don't think pirating switch games is defensible at the moment. The switch is still new and actively supported. I think the majority of the emulation community agrees that once a console or game is no longer for sale, no longer supported, and difficult to find, emulators and pirated roms become a little more ethical. Companies like Nintendo are rightfully concerned about what their next big money maker is going to be, and very often retro games are not it. But I'm glad work is already so far along on a switch emulator.Ĭonsoles all get abandoned at some point and without the dedication and hard work of the emulation community, a large chunk of gaming history would be inaccessible. Pirating roms is illegal and no one will dispute that. We know spam when we see it and will delete it. This means things like repetitious posting of similar content, low-effort posts/memes and misleading/exaggerated titles on link posts. We all need to support each other to help GNU/Linux gaming grow. If it's a link post, think about writing a comment to tell us more - the more you engage with us, the more we like it.

Heated discussions are fine, unwarranted insults are not. Please flair tech-support requests as tech support and re-flair them as answered if an answer has been found. What exactly did you do, and how, and with what version of what? How have you tried to troubleshoot the problem? Vague, low-effort tech-support requests may get removed. Include relevant details like logs, terminal output, system information. Tech-support requests should be useful to others: those who might run into the same problem as well as those who might be able to help.
