And you can't use it without the emulator. You might not need it to download the game, but you need it to play the game. If anything, your post only furthers the idea that emulators are a tool for piracy since there's no other way to play your stolen game.

"Hacked" consoles are a thing you know. In fact, the majority of piracy likely happens on PS3s with custom firmware because the emulator has high system requirements.

This thread reminds me: how's BotW on PC coming along?

If you have an overclockable i5 and a newer Nvidia card, it is nearly perfect. For those with AMD cards there are bugs. For those with weaker processors performace is not going to be solid.

I've never been much of a hardware guy but it sounds like it's making progress?

They should just release it on steam already, horrible choice not to do it at start, sure I have a ps4 but we have to play a worse version of a game because they don't support the open platform.

Horrible.

Yep, slowly but surely. I personally get 20 fps with all the hacks, the latest update, and with tons of bugs, but that is because I have an r9 280x for my GPU, and CEMU doesn't seem to play well with AMD's drivers(especially any for cards that are earlier than the RX series.) My i5 4690k @ 4.6 GHZ should be enough though once I upgrade to a new Nvidia card. 

I prefer playing the game on Switch anyway, for the portability. 

Anyway, here is the game running on an i5 7600k and a GTX 970. Seems to be running pretty smoothly.

Meh. How's the PS4 emulator coming?

Looking good. Hope to see more progress as time goes by and a modding community to spring up around it.

you can play it on the modded hardware...

now what?

Now most piracy still happens on PC via emulators. Gasp.

The majority of PS3 piracy happens on hacked PS3s, but PS3s they haven't passed that firmware milestone of being locked out are few and far in between. Everyone else uses emulators because they're free and the type of gamer to adamantly refuse a console will likely have a beefy PC.

 

 

Emulators are tools of piracy, just as much as hardware modification. It's not even close to be debatable.

I can play pirated games on NES, SNES, N64, PS1, PS2, PS3, Xbox, Xbox 360, Gamecube, Wii, Wii U, Gameboy, Gameboy Advance, Nintendo DS, 3DS, PSP, Ps Vita, any Android phone, any iOS phone, any PC and many many more devices. Should all those be illegal now?

Interesting spin, except no. Just the software or hardware that allows you to play a digitally stolen game on an otherwise legitimate piece of hardware. Keep trying, though. I feel like I'm arguing with a mugger on whether or not mugging people is okay.

 

It's not.

Yeah, but that is not what you said. You said,  

"And you can't use it without the emulator. You might not need it to download the game, but you need it to play the game."

which is false. Which is why we disputed your claim. 

Anyway, you need more than a "beefy PC" you need an overclockable CPU for any post-5th generation emulation, which is an even smaller subset of gaming PC enthusiasts. 

Neither emulators nor hardware modifications are exclusively "tools of piracy." The majority of the games that I play (rather than merely test) through emulation I've owned, most I have even ripped myself (particularly when it comes to my Wii and PS2.) Why do I emulate my games? Because this

looks much better than this 

and this 

looks much better than this

on a big television.

And I don't have to lug all of these 

around with me. 

 

This is likely the case for most emulator enthusiasts.
