snooplyon (02/26/2015) [-] I don't know about Wii, but all of those other consoles are old enough that, even if I buy those games fairly, the money's not going to the people who made the game. I'm not depriving an artist of money that he should have earned trying to make something genuinely entertaining, money that would certainly be used to pay rent/buy food/support family, etc.What I'm doing is getting a game I want to play and not giving $100 to some guy on ebay who wants the money to buy an xbone or PS4.

BerwindTwentyFour ONLINE (02/25/2015) [-] Aside from the fact that this isn't stealing, it's piracy.
You cannot prove that those people would have bought the games in the first place.
Not only that, but a lot of people run emulators to play games they no longer can buy, because no one ******* sells them anymore.

thetoxicketchup (02/25/2015) [-] Stealing removes the original. Piracy doesn't. There's no loss involved since people who pirate games like myself generally wouldn't go to the lengths to track down such a hard to find game when it's readily available for free.
If it's something that's just come out, that kind of sucks, but if it's an old, old game that's no longer being made or sold I really don't see why that should be a problem.

I do think that pirating/emulating games that just came out is kinda ****** , but for stuff that's no longer being sold? Emulate away. I'm digging my Pokemon FireRed hack.

mgsexplain (02/25/2015) [-] 1. The sony and xbox virtual consoles for PS4 and XBone dont have a lot of classics, so they're hard to come by
2. The wii virtual console DOES have a lot of classics, but even so, a ton of the great classic games hard to come by, some obscure and even well known ones arent on there.
3. You act as if people who DONT have consoles (i.e most PC gamers) Are willing to buy a $300-450 console just for a nostalgic romp, it simply isnt worth it.

tesforever (02/25/2015) [-] So many downvotes because a lot of people on here play PC games and probably rip games or use emulators. But I can't hate. An opinion is an opinion. And I get the message that you're trying to say. Nothing really justifies stealing, it is what it is. Even though most of us do it anyway.
So most of all, kudos for having the balls to not delete that comment, even when faced with so much opposition. I use consoles, pc, and emulators. So I'm just really neutral towards everything.

stonetomcat (02/25/2015) [-] Because we all know how we can get SNES games for under $500 at Gamestop, right?
And how every single dollar goes directly to Nintendo for a game they made two decades ago?
And sure it's sort of wrong to emulate the newer games, but the Call of Duty guys clearly don't have money issues.
Also, the content was a PC Mustard Race joke, not a dick. Don't take it so hard.
Not that I'd expect anybody with an IQ as low as yours to get that.
At this point it's too late, but I'm giving you a green thumb every chance I get to help with your thumb count. Despite your stupidity here, I can sort of see where you're coming from, though I don't agree.

The tribe has spoken.
For real though dude, there is no "legitimate" way to get those old games, I'm afraid. You either pay an unreasonable amount of money to some collector, or you get them online.

But what about the older ones? They don't sell new games anymore for any of the other consoles, as far as I know. Yeah, virtual console has some, but what do you think is the most legitimate / honest way to get the really old ones?

mcstorms (02/25/2015) [-] personally Im a console fag. and love playing on a console. it just feels right to me. Growing up if I wanted a game i found away to get it legitly. But if the game is no longer in production I understand. I mean if ya wanna play old school super metroid by all means use an emulator. Kinda like pirating an elvis song. After that intial commet everything I said was specifically to see how many red thumbs I could get. And my god did I get a metric **** Ton.

stonetomcat (02/25/2015) [-] Admin ****** something up so most of the thumbs are gone, but many years ago some dumbass anon decided to speak the legendary words:
"9/11? What? That wasn't even remotely funny.
Neither was the last post. This pic fails."
The Chosen Dumbass, not realizing the power of those words, spoke them.
All of FJ gathered to thumb him down. Years later, we were still thumbing him down.
Eventually, that anon became sort of a pilgrimage. He gathered -20,000 thumbs.
Legend has it that one day, somebody will speak stupider words and beat that anon's record.
Mcstorms may be the new Chosen Dumbass after all.
TLDR: Anon said something dumb, got -20,000
I wanted it to sound like a legend

ludislavonac (02/25/2015) [-] Besides buying some of the old flash game packs at humble bundle or steam there is no other way to get a hold of those games since the systems that are used to play them are no longer produced, most used ones aren't operable and those that are are very rare to find. Hence it's the only way to play most of those games. Plus the games mostly are no longer sold, meaning you don't steal someones profits by flashing them, it's under the fair use category if you don't sell them as your own. I'm glad you got all those red thumbs, ******* retard

buriedstpatrick (02/25/2015) [-] Lol. I'm just gonna' add to the pile here.
These games would not be sold otherwise, other than from second hand purchases, where the money doesn't go to the developer. There is literally not a problem to be found here.
Haha, god, you're a ******* retard.

skeletorexplains ONLINE (02/25/2015) [-] As someone who sells old PS2 / PSX games, This sentence is completely correct.
I have games that are worth pretty much top dollar because they're collectables, But it doesn't mean i'd sell them immediately as sad as that is.
But yeah, I put emulators on my PC Just to play those games, Or download the games i had that no longer worked (Like digimon world.)
So you get a thumb from me for knowing your **** .

twilightdusk (02/25/2015) [-]
You know, even if you go by legalities, the emulator isn't the illegal part, it's the ROM or ISO files that are. Emulators for disk-based systems like the PS2 can let you play a physical PS2 disk on your computer and that's completely legit.

Obvious troll is obvious.
All games (with precious few exemptions) are commissioned works by a company that are a collaborative effort. Once the game is no longer sellable (like 90% of all original gameboy games) the company generally abandons it, meaning that they do not care enough to start up a legal battle over digital copies. This would mean that the game is essentially free to play because the company just doesn't care, there is no money to be made off it.
That is why you will see some TV gamestation style devices that let you play 100's of classic games for around $10. Essentially those companies paid a lump sum to have legal right to redistribute the games. If you buy one, then you have legal right to play those games, but it still doesn't pay the original authors or company anything.
Once a game is abandoned, the company is no longer making money on it. Therefore it isn't technically stealing to play them.
Also, if you ever legally owned a game, you have legal right to have a digital copy of it (up to 3 actually) as long as you can prove you owned it. If you ever owned the system, then you have legal right to the electronic copy of the bios that powers an emulator.
Therefore, mcstorms, you are a moron, because emulators and roms can be legal. Most are in a technically grey area. Some abandonware games have officially been denounced, meaning that the publishers have stated that they don't care if people download them and playing them, which idemnify those people from persecution.

Some games such as CoD:Black Ops have FULL FUNCTIONALITY which is a plus on an emulator. I still have some gamecube games that I have to use the disc for because the emulators can't do them.

Okay.
*looks at my gaming PC that has more than enough power to emulate the 360*
So, instead of just using what I have got, to legally play the games I legally purchased, I should instead go buy another xbox, or EVEN BETTER, pay Microsoft to fix it AGAIN, for the fourth time since I bought it when they first came out.

Yeah, for the first year after purchase, plus an extended time for the RRoD.
But if you are out of warranty, you have to pay out of pocket for repairs (or buy a care plan).
First breakdown: RRoD
Second breakdown: Laser eye failure
Third breakdown: Wireless controller transmitter thing shorted out.
Fourth breakdown: I get the error code for spindle failure (Disc Drive)
The fourth time, I said **** it, I'm not paying microsoft to fix this piece of **** again.

linxindao (02/25/2015) [-]
The last one cost me around $80 if I remember correctly.
I didn't ask about getting it done the 4th time. I personally think that after the 3rd major failure they should have replaced my system for free with a newer one.
I shouldn't be expected to pay twice for a single product. I loved the first xbox, and kinda liked the 360 until then. Nowadays, I see the xboxone and I"m just like, "So not paying for that heap of crap".
Especially since console games will likely be redundant in the near future. (Why pay for a new gaming PC every few years when you could just buy an unlocked gaming PC and upgrade it?) The way things are going, consoles are just small gaming computers that can only do one thing anyways, why not go ahead and cut to the chase.
Most decent games are released for PC anyways, you can use any controller with the PC, plus you can also do other things with a gaming PC.
I didn't ask about getting it done the 4th time. I personally think that after the 3rd major failure they should have replaced my system for free with a newer one.

baltaismelnais (02/25/2015) [-] True, true. Console gaming is dying out right now and mainly the thing keeping it alive are the exclusive games.
It's true PC is superior to consoles, and that the consoles are bound to die out (Except the handheld ones, PC can't be carried around like that).
Though it still remains "sort-of-a" dick move to pirate off the emulators and console games, unless you had bought the thing like you have
And I tried out the xbox emulator out of curiosity, it wroks well along with the free 9 adwares it carries in it.

The adwares are usually optional in the install, you just gotta be careful before clicking next.
It is how the emulator devs get money from doing what they do.
Also, I didn't buy every game I have on emulators. I buy what I can but a lot of what I have are abandonware. I like to keep my ass covered should my PC/Wii ever be searched.
I now consider the nintendo Wii to be the best gaming system of ALL time. But this is due to its homebrew capabilities. I have all the games I've ever owned (aside from ps2, dreamcast, xbox, and newer on my wii and some abandonware. My old gaming systems are in storage somewhere and I don't need them if I ever want to nostalgia about playing them in my younger days. I don't actually use my PC for emulating all that much, my Wii does most of that.

If you ever owned them, then you're safe. Even if you ever went to court, most you would get is a warning, if you can prove that you ever owned the game (including testimony from family), unless it is abandonware.
Abandonware fall into a legal "grey area" and even moreso, some games have been deliberately surrendered by their publishers.

grasman (02/25/2015) [-] In fact I'm building a ps1 and ps2 game collection as I write this.
Those games are long gone from the market.
Even if I wanted I couldn't buy them anymore.
Except from other people and that wouldn't bring any more money in the pockets of the developers than just downloading it.
This problem wouldn't even exist to this extand if the console asshats would release their **** on the pc as well.
Because there are good games on consoles, but I'm noot buying a console too play a few several games on it.
So my only chance is to emulate them.
But noo I'm probably wrong with this argument.
Many people are interested in retro gaming or simply playing the games they played in their childhood.
But not all of those people can afford to actually hunt down all those games and the hardware to play them on on ebay or whatever.
There are rare games that cost thousands of dollars but I can get the rom for free and just play it.
So with all due respect, keep your ****** opinion to yourself.

The only way it would seem i would be able to play this remnant of a time long past was through Emulators. This and that one power rangers game. I still find it fun. i still have all my old consoles, But finding those games for a decent price is impossible.
Most of these old ass random games are NOT for sale on any platform of console store. On occasion i find gems such as Dino Crisis, which is nice, but otherwise, Not gonna happen.

240 PS1 games on the PSN, while 1,248 were released. This is a whopping 19.23%, which is nowhere near your claim of 90%.

You think the creative developers of the game will benefit if I buy it for God-knows-how-much from some pawn store?
Did you consider effort went into "refurbishing" the game, to modern platforms? Effort that is arguably wasted, instead of just emulating the ******* thing? The way coding works is that developers typically reuse code. They don't code everything from scratch- if some seperate, independent developers wanted to use randomly generated numbers in their software, each and everyone would code their own random number generator, instead of using the one that comes with whatever dev kit they use e.g Java? Your argument is that developers should get more money for more work, done to create their own Rn-Generator instead of just using whatever the **** already exists. That is not a productive (or even efficient) endeavour that should be compensated with money/goods/services/livelihood.

iamthetoaster (02/25/2015) [-] But there are still a large quantity of missing titles. it's definatley not the proverbial 90% you claim. on the nintendo store, it's only large, first party games, a lot gets lost, the PSN is missing quite a few good PS2 and PS1 titles, and as far as original xbox games go, digital ports are pretty rare. A good example would be, what if you wanted to play the original pokemon games? They don't have those available on the nintendo store (or at least they didn't last time I checked). If you can buy it through legitamate methods, you should, but since there's a lot that you can't, emulators have their place in legitimate gaming.

Final Fantasy VII retails for upwards of $200 everywhere I've seen, the original Silent Hill 2 goes for like 150$, etc.
You can still get your hands on the majority of PS2 & Xbox 360 titles easily enough from used game retailers, but everything prior to that generation is near impossible to get unless it's at a ridiculous price.

for the older machines like the NES, SNES, Dreamcast, PS1, N64, Genesis, whathaveyou... you can only find them nowadays in the back of other people's closets, or in their official cases still. one you will not be able to reach, cause people are lazy. the other you wont be able to afford, cause the people that sell them treat them as collector's items.

And I still maintain that it's not 90%, it's closer to 50-60%. and those 50-60%, you should buy from the first party, but the rest of them, why would I buy a resale copy if the money isnt' supporting the developer?
#159 to #158

iamthetoaster (02/25/2015) [-] But here's the thing, they aren't keeping NEW copies in stock. they don't make the disk anymore, they're keeping trade-ins in stock. the money doesnt' go to the developer, so the only person you'd be supporting in that scenario is gamestop. and as far as PR goes, the resales are often included in sales numbers, but bragging about good sales doesn't matter after your games been out for more than a year. unless you're an MMO.

unikornking ONLINE (02/25/2015) [-] Yes. And your point? Mine is that most people use it as a joke, and the only people that use it seriously are the guys who can't tell the others are joking (which I haven't seen a single person EVER say it seriously, only people who complain about the phrase pc master race)

It really shows you are of superior mind when you refuse to restrain yourself from primal urges of violence at a moment's discontent.

Heres my issue with that. One it's not stealing. Stealing means you no longer have the property. It is still there. I have made a copy of it. But you yourself still have your copy. Second, I pirate games to try them. Think of it as a forced demo. If I like it, I pay for it. In hopes that they will keep making games I like. If I dont I uninstall and do not purchase it. If I dont have the money I pirate it and pay for it when I can. If I can't pay for it ever/forget about it. Then they've lost nothing. I didn't have the money, they would not have recieved my non existent money at the time, and I would have never remembered about this game to begin with. So I don't see the problem here as long as you pay for what you can.

How would you know and if so so what? odds are if you're just gonna pirate it you probably wouldn't have bought it in the first place. I really like super mario 64 but if you think im willing to go out and buy a nintendo 64 for 80 bucks and the game for 30-200 (depending on who you buy it from) youre wrong. I'd much rather buy an emulator.

What if someone has no way to obtain the console in question or the games?

No there's not. Are you so incredibly deluded and stuck up in your own thinking that you cannot consider others arguements? Do you always have to be right or something?

Life necessities > Gaming consoles
If you can't buy it, pirate it instead. If you can buy it, then buy it. If you've pirated it, and now you can buy it, buy it.
And what if there's literally no way to obtain the console in question, regardless of money.
The games themselves are exclusive to that console, there will never be and are no remakes of them, they are unobtainable except through emulation. Same with the console.

In alot of places including other countries, you cannot obtain these consoles.
Yet the person may have access to internet and a computer, and can emulate them.
That and who would spend hundreds of dollars to buy an age-old console that's effectively worth less than 50$, and on a game possibly worth hundreds dollars that would get shat on if it was made and sold for so much today.
It's easy for you to say this, but not so much for everyone else who isn't stuck up and doesn't have to be always right.

Yet everyone disagrees with you, presents reasons as to why emulating is A-okay, and you still go "NO ITS JUST WRONG YOU CAN JUST BUY THE CONSOLE"
It's as though you just can't comprehend being wrong.

Because I didn't have the foresight as a 10 year old to see me wanting a n64 when I'm 20, but that's a stupid question. What if it was just a friends n64 and I never owned it. You're still stuck in the same situation.
