Emulator users are generally only pirates because they cannot just buy the software and dumping carts is costly due to proprietary formats. There is tons of evidence that most piracy is due to unavailability.
I would 100% pay $70 to buy Zelda that just runs on PC at 4K...but nope, gotta have it at 720P @ 28FPS.
- extraduder_ire 3y agoModchips are available for every switch console now, and the early ones can be softmodded pretty easily. It's a bit hit or miss on other consoles, but it's often pretty straightforward to dump your own games. IMO, it's kind of dumb to make people "do a little dance and magical incantation" to make what they're doing "more legal" especially when there's little case law about it. Also, everything on the switch is ID-tagged. If nintendo wants to, they can ban carts, consoles, controllers, accounts, and more for arbitrary reasons.
