This is two very very big false facts about emulation and its also not safe to assume anything.. People dont emulate to play the game looking "just as good" as the original. They emulate to play the game looking "Better" then the original, or in many cases just so they dont have to have the hassle of having a bunch of their systems hooked up. Now dont get me wrong. Im not saying people dont also use emulators illegally but them same people also use their consoles illegally. At least with emulation they have to wait years before most of them games will be playable and by this time the console is pretty much dead/dying/ended. With modded consoles everything is playable from the get go. So like i said the issue is not from emulation but from the person who is using it. If that person uses emulation illegally then they also do with their consoles. If that person has moral issues with piracy then its not going to change by them using an emulator. |
So bascally what you're saying is that when a person starts to accept emulation, there are no moral consequences anymore and therefore emulation is cool.
1) Even if a console is near it's end, there is no justification for emulation other than, you said it yourself, shiny graphics
2) A person using a console illegally has still no justification to use emulators.
3) If someone wants to play a specific game, why not just buy it? Why wait many years for an emulator? It must be the free games.
