You should be focusing your efforts on curbing piracy (illegal) not emulation (legal).

Well stopping the people that think it's ok to donate money to piracy tool would be the first step. That's basically like if a guy that jailbreaks iPhones set up a patreon. That's why I think publishers should start going after these people they're already going after the last gen versions of persona and​ Zelda how long will it be before these people start going after the switch or ps4 or xb1

You know, this is the ONLY emulator right now that actually attempts to make any money right?  And it barely runs anything. Every other one out there is free and most are open source.  I personally won't be spending a dime on CEMU, but if the guys want to take donations for their work, they're not actually breaking any laws by doing so. Look, I get that CEMU is the big new hot thing to talk about because it *gasp* runs Zelda at like 20 FPS or something (top end hardware required), and all the anti-piracy warriors feel the need to make themselves feel important, but you're kind of wasting your efforts on the small stuff.  Wii U emulation is much more prominent on actual modified Wii U consoles.  Why?  Because it only needs a 200 dollar console, not a top end expensive gaming PC.  And the games actually run (all of them), unlike about 98% of what you throw at CEMU.

And if you know anything about emulation (which it seems you don't), you'd know how ridiculous a statement it is to be worried about PS4 and XB1 emulation.  NOT. GONNA. HAPPEN.  Not for 5-10 years.  BOTW is a Wii U game, a console that is on par with consoles that came out 11-12 years ago.

I've been using and following emulators since before you were born.  It hasn't killed the industry yet.  And it's not gonna start.  I'll just continue to play my legal games in high resolution while the rest of you try and save the world, one canceled emulator at a time.

However big you think the number is, it's likely MUCH MUCH lower.  But whatever.  You people seem to have it in your head that all people emulating are a bunch of dirty pirates and nothing is going to change that.  It's getting tiresome.

It's just as tiring to see you people continue to be unwilling to admit that illegal emulation does have a negative impact on games. Try to downplay it all you want it doesn't make it right

There is no illegal emulation.  Only piracy.  And piracy exists on many consoles.
