Exactly whats illegal about it?. Cemu is perfectly legal so is emulation. What you do with the games is up to you.

Why emulation is good for me and im sure many others, it saves me looking for my games then hooking up my system whenever i want to play them, it also means i can play them in higher res and with better effects then they originally had.

I have my whole classic console collection saved and stored on my PC to use whenever i want.

But yes, i guess we should just keep buying "Remasters" of games we already own whenever a company decides to allow us that -_- . Thanks but no thanks!, ive payed for my games, ive payed for my system originally, i dont need to pay again in a few years time to play the game in better res when the company releases a remaster version i can do that on my PC with the games i already own thanks to emulation.

Well what do you think?

I am sure downloading Cemu is OK - but what about playing games are not meant for the purpuse?

Nintendo is the owner of Nintendo games - and we must pay to play them as and when and how Nintendo wants. so yes that's all.

nothing else much to be added to be honest.

Let's say a company released a new form of UHD Blu-Rays. They have a monopoly on the content which is printed on their discs. Would it be wrong ethically to have alternative drives that can play these discs to the proprietary one, even if you didn't use any of the original software necessary to read and write to these discs? Of course not. You created a device which plays a medium that somebody else produced. You are not obligated to play the medium you paid for in that company's player. Now if Nintendo wanted to make this legally binding, all they have to do is make it contractual upon purchase. But they don't do that, because they know they can still make money off people who buy their games but no longer have a working console to play it on, or would rather play it on their own hardware. Sure it is a small percentage, but its money nevertheless. And there is nothing Nintendo can do to make the actual emulator illegal, just the act of playing their games on it through contracts, which they've chosen not to do.
