Emulators are a form of piracy though and you really don't have too much of an excuse to be using them for games that are in their prime in terms of sales....

cool. A bunch of people on this forum would feel the same way as I do. I don't care if you think I'm a "goodygoody," it's called having a proper mindset

I agree, I won't never support piracy to an extent, since being a Nintendo fan, I feel some-what cheated, so yeah its all about etiquette and principle.

yeah, the only time it makes sense to emulate games is when Nintendo doesn't sell them anymore and wouldn't make any profit from you buying the game (example: NES/SNES/N64 games)

Yeah, but for stuff like wanting an emulator, it urks me. To be honest I use a Gameboy Advance emulator just to play a few games, other than that I would not want to support it too much.

Yeah makes sense. I mean, anything before Nintendo DS is ok in my opinion, but DS and onwards (for now) there really isn't much of an excuse to do that (not to mention the fact that the DS emulators are pretty terrible with frame rate and all that lol)

Nothing is ever free. Think of it this way: piracy takes away profits from Nintendo that could be used to further advance their games as a whole. So basically, in the long run piracy takes away from the quality of games. You're being rather narrowminded and cheap with this

Think of it this way: free pokemon. And seriously, I only get games for the emulator because theyre free. If they werent free, its not like im gonna go to the store and buy it. So, really its not. I only download em because theyre available. chill bro

There's no point arguing with you because you fail to see the big picture of things. I'm telling you, it isn't free. It *looks* like it's free but in the end the consumers end up paying in a different way in the end.

if you buy any consoles or 3DS games later on then, yes, it is you too. When you grow up and actually see reason you'll be able to realize this for yourself.

To return to the original subject, I have just a Gameboy Emulator on my DSLite (flash cart) just for playing the good old Gameboy Games since my mom told me that there was a while that she sold my Gameboy Color and all my games (including Pokemon Silver) :cry: :cry: :cry: ! But I think that when I'll have some money, I'll buy another Gameboy Color and Pokemon Silver, because nothing replaces the joy and the nostalgia of a physical copy !

Yes... I was actually really disappointed...
Guess that I'll have to search the web, since it's not the same experience on the DS with an emulator, and since Nintendo won't port them to Virtual Console... I will have to search !

One time my mon threw away all of my siblings Pokémon Games and Cards. Ahhh..glad I didn't play it back then.
 
  • #78
Yeah. Glad that I just found a physical copy of Silver for 8€ on the net. Guess that I'll borrow back my Gameboy Advance SP to my brother, when I'll have it.

yeah, I agree with you on that. There's some innate quality to the actual Nintendo gaming systems that make them more satisfying when actually used than with emulators. Emulators cannot emulate that quality :p

Yes, nothing can replace seeing the 8-bit tileset (who is nicely drawn, by the way) on a Gameboy. Because on a DS, yes, it's portable, but you still won't get the same quality as the Gameboy... I miss the PS1 and the Gameboy era...
