> Why not show off more legitimate ways of playing games on it? While emulation gets a bad rap because of rampant piracy involved with it for most people, it's the piracy that makes it illegitimate and not emulation itself. There's nothing about emulation that requires piracy - e.g. Nintendo Switch Online has NES and SNES emulation without piracy. You can also dump cartridges [1] or buy legal ROMs [2] to play on this Odroid [3]. I understand the confusion, but please do be careful to speak about piracy when you mean to speak about piracy. Emulation is a technically interesting exercise that allows for the preservation and transformation of old video games.

[3]: You might argue: "but few people actually do this". And you'd be right. Piracy for old game systems is just far more convenient. But that still makes piracy piracy and emulation emulation.
