I'm dumb as fuck with running those things so I play games on the Switch still and have fun. Yeah, the performance and image quality isn't always the best but I'm enjoying my time playing games.
Exactly. There's a difference to the current emulation scene and what was happening in the PS1 days where mod chips and modded consoles were more common than unmodded consoles towards the end of that generation and of course the DS where piracy was pretty simple.
Nintendo has a right to shut down pirates. It's pushing things too far when going after YouTube channels and emulators.
That being said, there's definitely a big piracy draw to emulation and always has been. Emulator developers crying about preservation can be pretty disingenuous sometimes.
