That -is- emulation. The exact same emulation.

Emulation is a piece of software that emulates another hardware environment... That never changes regardless of the "media" being input into the emulator and is 100% legal.

And if we are speaking roms, not all roms are illegal either. - Homebrew roms where games are made from scratch in an emulator environment are 100% legal.

Making "backup" copies of your media is also legal in some jurisdictions, so is "format shifting" in other countries (I.E. Mine.)

Again, Emulators aren't illegal, never were, never will be... Which was the original claim.

We all know the guy who was claiming anyone with physical games is a hoarder was talking about illegal ROMs esp later listing off systems.

I'm more than happy to purchase access to games.  Like I have the Mario 3d collection on Switch.  But if you are asking what I do when it comes to something like vay?  No, I'm not hunting down a working genesis, working sega cd and copy of a rare game.  Especially since I had previously bought and owned the game.  

I also tried the whole collector thing.  At one point I had 15 consoles. Too many issues with wires, controllers, disk drive failures, cartridge batteries dying not too mention the space it takes up.  

Either way I'm glad we est the fact digital>physical
