In many cases these games aren't available to buy even if you wanted to, so what other option is there? Ultimately the Devs make no money off of the second hand market, so I don't see a major difference personally.
Thank you someone understand the game is old you cant find it anywhere if the game hasn't been sold in years by the developers that's why emulators exist for people who couldn't afford the game or doesnt have a console too play it on when they have PCs like example people have playstations 3 or playstations 2 unless they buy off of ebay or amazon thats you but yeah you can play playstation 2 games for the memories I wanna re enjoy that I missed out on :)

Always seems to be the same way: "Don't pirate our games, because that costs us potential sales!" "Oh, so... can I buy this game from you?" "NO!" We've been through this with music and movies, and the pirates inevitably win because they're filling a niche in the market that people who could be making money just decided not to fill.
Cause there afraid of any miniscule possible profit loss. As they might see u playing a emulated Nintendo game as u not paying them for there work or some dumb idea like that.
Look at how long it took them to re-release Super Mario Sunshine where they did effectively nothing to it. It's literally an emulated version itself. They just want the option to go back and re-sell anything in their catalog no matter how long it takes them or how unlikely it is that they'll even do it. They've become despicable...
Because they want to sell them to you a second time as "HD" releases for 60 Dollars. But they can't release them all at once, they have to drip feed them to you or else there's not enough hype

I don't like it, but streaming-exclusive games are likely an inevitability at this point.
@@B-Roll_Gaming What about ISPs?. Playing games directly from cloud will require huge amounts of data and bandwidth. What about games that are online only like battle royals?.

There is no ISP that supports this cloud gaming service.

We’ve lost about 50% of all films ever made and 70-90% of all silent films ever made due to mishandling of the original film stock by the companies that produced them. video games are also at their very infancy and if no one works to preserve them like emulator coders do they’ll be lost to history just like all those silent films were, you can never trust the big corporations to do what’s right for the art that they helped create and if you can you need to take it into your own hands
it dosnt matter its not urs if you take some thing that dosnt belong to you its theft and guess what emulation is piracy while you cant get inshit for the emulator software the roms u have to run it they can get you for piracy witch is a fellony in most countrys
Nosferatu is one "good" example of this problem, the master material destroyed because of the family of the author of dracula won the copyright lawsuit and the exported copies got damaged over time.
Im happy with how emulation is progressing through the years.Ps3 emulation has come a long way with framerate, 3ds running better than it does on the handheld is always rewarding
The fact Sony almost shut down the Playstation Store on PS3 is already a good arguement in favor of emulation. When the company is going to shut down a primary source for obtaining games on the system, then yes, emulation is a good thing. Especially when you look at how physical PS3 game prices skyrocketed after Sony's initial announcement and before their backtrack of the decision.
People like to get money for shit the second they get an excuse too, upmarking products and video games are the fucking worse, honestly Emulation is the only way to get those games if its next to impossible to get it legally (looking at you Driver: San Francisco)
While I'm not a legal expert, I feel a lot of things with copyright and copyright arguments are dumb. The fact a company can mark up a product because it's not being made anymore, and take down a way to get a certain product is definitely an argument as to why emulation should be a thing. Companies already find ways and do stupid things to milk more money out of people anyways. Look at copyright on RUclips. The whole music on Twitch thing.
@@AWildCooki what did the guy with the nazi name say? He commented in a quite of few comments on this video but all comments are not deleted. All you see is people tagging him
I'm one of those "retro game elitists" who prefers playing games on original hardware (I have an OSSC instead of a Framemeister though), but even I understand that maintaining a physical collection is extremely difficult (and expensive) and that emulation has a ton of benefits. There's nothing wrong with either, there is a time and place for both depending on your preference.
People get pissed because they had to spend all that money to get there huge collections but the smart ones emulate y because in the end of hardware will die out facts

I don't mind if it's solitary confinement, I just don't want to share a cell nor to be associated with a monster.
For me as a Slav, going to jail for emulation is so laughable but also makes me depressed. Someone can go to jail and get their booty tapped just because they don't want to give corrupt AAA companies like Nintendon't money. What a glorious free world we live in!
legitimetaly I don`t see nothing wrong with pirating ROMs, most ROMs that are pirated are for games that are no longer in the market so the developer are no longer getting any money, so yeah no harm to anybody.
@@makchot3263 from what I've read abandonware is in a grey area and basically wether or not it is illegal depends on if the copyright owner stands to lose money if people download the abandoned product. Essentially, obtaining a "free" version of a game that just got a remaster is a no, but getting an old game that isn't on sale and doesn't have a remaster or something like that available for purchase is perfectly fine
Oh my god imagine a steam deck used solely for emulating various game systems.. a pc, all Sony systems, all Nintendo systems all on a handheld device you can bring anywhere easily. The future truly is now
surprisingly, yes, and they will be assholes abt it specially nintendo fans because as far as i've seen, sony fans give no shit if you pirate a fucking ps1 game
When it comes to piracy, I don’t really care that much, except for one thing: Indie devs. If you are going to pirate, pirate from the big AAA companies and not small devs.
@@ssjfrosty Emulation requires you to get a copy of the game, either via buying the game yourself or getting it from someone else. Then it is your property and anything you do with it falls under fair use as long as you are not trying to sell it.
@@ssjfrosty see prev answer, because that's financially and legally true. it's like saying you want to play basketball but you don't own a ball, so your friend gives you one to play, same thing with games.
@@juliette1374 That is rather scummy of you. AAA companies are not negatively effected at all from pirating, however indie devs 100% are. And honestly what is wrong with you if you can't spare the $10 it costs to buy most indie games...
That happened with Persona 5 and RPCS3 lol. It's the only legal issue they have had, they only had to remove any mention of P5 from their website. But it's still pretty funny how the game was already working pretty well on the emulator before it came out.
I moved to India as a kid and have lived here ever since and when it comes to video games here, accessibility and pricing is a huge issue. By the time the PS3 came out people here were still in awe of the nes and chinese knockoffs of the nes. Emulators therefore made up a huge part of my childhood and if I never found out about them I wouldn't ever have been introduced to a big ass goldmine of a library.
I understand. I am from India and I only had NES as a kid. Thankfully, there's a game store near me that offers most consoles, even PS5, yes. There were only two of them last time I went there. But it's really hard to get actual discs or cartridges of old games and that's where emulators come in. I am not going to go on a hunt for every video game even if I love them a lot. Emulating them is a lot easier and saves you time and at the end of the day, you will still be playing the same game. So it's going to be fun either way.
Emulating games has been so fun for me! I have a super deep interest in older games since I grew up around them but was never able to play them. My older cousins and sibling would hog the consoles. I never got to play a lot of gamecube, GB/GBA, PS/PS2, etc games as much as I wanted to, so emulating totally extended my childhood.
Wow, even though you had them, you didn't get to play? I only had NES but man, emulators showed me a lot of awesome console games and I am still playing and discovering more.
@@Vik1919 As the youngest sibling and cousin, I had to share everything, so I never got a turn to play. No teenager wants to watch a 5 year old play Resident Evil or even Mario Kart lmao. But yeah, emulators gave me the ability to finally play these games after years of speculating! :)
@@pleasurereport These things were desktop background games optimized for like Windows 7, no way I can run it on my current system. But it can be done (just not easily like I said)

Square lost the original source code for Final Fantasy 8 If not even FF is safe from being lost... It's also nice to remind everyone that when Nintendo was selling Super Mario Bros on the Virtual Console it was a dumped ROM they were selling
Also, just a fun fact, you won't go to jail for doing supposedly illegal things like pirating or downloading torrent, as long as you don't do two things with it? 1. You don't do it publicly 2. You don't make money off of it

I remember playing Pac-Man in an arcade in late 2008 as a kid, then in 2011 my older sister got a ps3 that came with Skyrim, played that, enjoyed it. Got a desktop pc like my uncle had and started branching out with games like minecraft, tf2, and terraria. In 2015 I got into Fallout starting with 4 and some lesser known games that I also enjoyed. Later on I got a game called PAYDAY 2 because it went free in 2016 for a day and I got it because a friend told me, I now have 1.8k hours in that game with 1079/1246 achievements in the game. In 2020, when covid hit of course, I found these two games. Kingdom Come: Deliverance, and Mount and Blade II: Bannerlord, those two games really helped me out during quarantine due to how our state's governor handled it, we couldn't step outside. Now, most of my steam friends play PAYDAY 2 since that's the game I'm more, say...social with. I still communicate with the communities of the various games I've played in the past. It is now just a long wait for some sequels we've waited over a decade for, the light at the end of the tunnel for some titles, just waiting for the final announcements, all while enjoying every single minute of it. Gaming has pretty much transformed my life from me being depressed with no hope in life because of abusive family, to me being proud of what I've played and who I've interacted with when his family failed to actually raise me properly. It has been one hell of a ride, one that will continue even when I'm gone from activity, being in the military, I'll still keep tabs on the news of future titles, see what will impress, and what will disappoint, frankly enough has been a lot of disappointment as of lately.
@@AaronCleetus-cj4gw oh, neat..I've come to understand some pirates, especially against the big corporations, though I think it's despicable against smaller devs
the huge problem with old games that isn't available anymore is that is turning into abandonware like say the old Harry potter games for PC or the pokemon games from the Gamecube era without pay massive sum and probably won't get the game running or get it at all.
@@jurassisartto this day I still regretted selling that game, I owned it but sold it for like 15 bucks before it got super rare but after it had been pulled from the shop, and now it's one of the rarest PS4 games..
Emulation is my preferred way of play, in fact, that's how I have been introduced into some of my favorite video game franchises, as well as development studios. I would recommend using LaunchBox as a front end, basically it organizes your entire collection of games into a form that's easy to look at on PC, and easy to use on a big screen with a controller. That's been my goto for a long time.
*The so called "AAA" gaming Industry seems to think Emulator Creators and Modders are a threat,* *when they are actually the only reason people are playing your game Two Decades after it came out* *They are HEROES and they should be treated as such.*
I don't care about emulating games from the Wii and shit. That shit is old as fuck, and even I emulate that stuff. I really only care when people emulate newer stuff, because that can actually get you into legal trouble, but I'm not gonna get actually mad if you do it. Just a bit nervous for you.
@@m00nmayn86 Just saw that on Steam when I opened it up. Looks really cool! The one thing that worries me is how games that don't support controllers will work, but that's a small kink I'm sure they can work out
@@JonasASMR360 its not less legal to emulate a newer system? Im gonna guess youre talking about switch, you need both a copy of the game and a real switch to play the games on emulator. I dont see how thats wrong from a moral standpoint either
I remember somehow getting some very old games to run on my pc, it was annoying af to get Daggerfall to actually run properly on a windows 10 machine had to figure out fps and just general memory related stuff also had to go to another site to get an emulator that can properly run the game on a newer system with all the benefits that come with it, then the next day some unity version was made by a fan. Still I believe emulation is like preserving a fossil, with time degrading it without any action done, preservation can leave it intact and let us know of an era of gaming ,rather than leaving the books to collect dust behind a shelf for 100 years. It isn't hurting sales if a game from 30 years ago is being emulated on newer devices, most likely it'll be forgotten about otherwise.
Morally correct to pirate almost all modern games, they putting fucking microtransactions in single player games, making it boring to play and offer you to buy "exp booster" (especially Ubisoft does that).
I'm honestly sad that I'm one of the few people that actually gives a flying fuck about preserving game data. I have an entire 4 tb hard drive dedicated to all of the games I have ever bought from the ps2 and gamecube, all the way back to some of the first video game consoles. Its a relatively large collection now and I couldn't fathom having an unopened copy of a game and NEVER opening it to preserve its contents. Its fucking insane to me. How can you be a collector of games, and never preserve these games?
@@RyoKasai25 Thanks. If you try to go for a similar thing, Just know that youll probably have to build your own cartridge dumpers out of old dismembered parts for some of these REALLY old and obscure consoles and some of the PC cartridges. That was the biggest learning curve for me, however if you want to go and preserve things like NES, N64, GBA and other types of popular game consoles, you may be able to find something that will work online.
I got archives of them before Emuparadise shut down. You should backup your backup hard drive as well for good measures. I downloaded GoldenEye 64 XBLA when it got leaked back in February and I'm glad I did because it was taken down 2 weeks later. I always wanted to play that remaster but for 14 years it never released due to licensing issues. Someone even edited the Xbox 360 emulator, ironically called Xenia, so you can use mouse and keyboard with GoldenEye 64 XBLA. It's interesting as well how they had a change graphics button 4 years before Halo: Combat Evolved Anniversary was even announced. If they released it on Xbox and Steam, I'd definitely buy it as there'd be a lot of things fixed
@@finkamain1621 I'm saving money so I can buy 3 more hard drives and put them in a raid array. I need the redundancy, but that also means building a pc competent enough to handle raid, while cheap enough not to kill me at the moment. Baby steps.
yeah as a fire emblem fan emulation is pretty much required if you want to play any of the older games without spending shitloads of money or just not being able to play the Japanese-only ones at all
The fun thing is that when you look at the reasoning in those cases that solidified emulator legality is that the Judges actually classified emulators as legitimate competition to the original consoles. So stuff like "Yuzu runs Switch games better than the actual Switch" in legal terms just means that the Switch is not a competitive product.
@@Quoi.Phoque no actuly ur not when you buy a game theres a notice on the game and usuly on the case that states that your not authorised to edit remove or modity any aspects of there game that also implies taking the roms from the disk there isnt a way to leagly with out breaching ur agrement take a rom from a game you can argue all you like its still piarcy and piracy is a fellony

Laws/regulations have greater value and agreements not compliant to those regulations are invalid.
"Emulation is bad. It's illegal." Uh, hi, emulation is also about preservation. I would prefer to emulate old ps2 games rather than buy second hand, because buying second hand doesn't support the developers at all, unless the game is still being produced (most likely not).
@@shahtayyib I doubt anyone is going to buy a new copy of an older game, considering that they probably aren't producing any more of it, just because I emulating the original Monster Hunter doesn't mean I'm not supporting the devs

All I hope is that Muta makes a video walking through the entire process of how to download and sort out emulation because he’s probably the most useful person when it comes to this.
Emulating is legal but the main thing is how you're getting the games. Once you have it in your possession, no one can really question you unless you was traced or that you openly admit it, which is *extremely* rare.
@@lightingthief4482 wait soo its legal for me to own (for example) gta sa and emulate it and i could get in jail if i told the devs if i emulate the game on pc? Is that correct?
its legal to emulate it if you own the game and ripped the files from it to emulate it, its ILLEGAL to download the ripped game files from someone else, even if you own a copy already
Without an emulator I would’ve never played Banjo-Kazooie, Silent Hill 2, F-Zero GX, the Gamecube Mario Parties, Chibi Robo, Xenoblade Chronicles, and so much more. I’m all for game preservation and i’m so grateful that emulators exist.
I played all of those games you mentioned except Xenoblade Chronicles. And yeah, it was only possible through emulation. My parents only gave me one console, which I believe was NES. But that's about it, I never received anything after that. All I have now is an old laptop -- which wasn't meant for me from the start -- on which I get to play sometimes.
Without it i wouldn’t be able to play MegaMan Battle Network series or Astro Boy on the PS2, i’m literally reliving my childhood and i thank god emulation exists.

The fact Sony almost shut down the Playstation Store on PS3 is already a good arguement in favor of emulation. When the company is going to shut down a primary source for obtaining games on the system, then yes, emulation is a good thing. Especially when you look at how physical PS3 game prices skyrocketed after Sony's initial announcement and before their backtrack of the decision.
People like to get money for shit the second they get an excuse too, upmarking products and video games are the fucking worse, honestly Emulation is the only way to get those games if its next to impossible to get it legally (looking at you Driver: San Francisco)
While I'm not a legal expert, I feel a lot of things with copyright and copyright arguments are dumb. The fact a company can mark up a product because it's not being made anymore, and take down a way to get a certain product is definitely an argument as to why emulation should be a thing. Companies already find ways and do stupid things to milk more money out of people anyways. Look at copyright on RUclips. The whole music on Twitch thing.
the backwards compatibility sucks, I am trying to play quake on my new pc and looks awful. Wish emulator would be more mainstream.

I'm one of those "retro game elitists" who prefers playing games on original hardware (I have an OSSC instead of a Framemeister though), but even I understand that maintaining a physical collection is extremely difficult (and expensive) and that emulation has a ton of benefits. There's nothing wrong with either, there is a time and place for both depending on your preference.
People get pissed because they had to spend all that money to get there huge collections but the smart ones emulate y because in the end of hardware will die out facts

I remember playing Pac-Man in an arcade in late 2008 as a kid, then in 2011 my older sister got a ps3 that came with Skyrim, played that, enjoyed it. Got a desktop pc like my uncle had and started branching out with games like minecraft, tf2, and terraria. In 2015 I got into Fallout starting with 4 and some lesser known games that I also enjoyed. Later on I got a game called PAYDAY 2 because it went free in 2016 for a day and I got it because a friend told me, I now have 1.8k hours in that game with 1079/1246 achievements in the game. In 2020, when covid hit of course, I found these two games. Kingdom Come: Deliverance, and Mount and Blade II: Bannerlord, those two games really helped me out during quarantine due to how our state's governor handled it, we couldn't step outside. Now, most of my steam friends play PAYDAY 2 since that's the game I'm more, say...social with. I still communicate with the communities of the various games I've played in the past. It is now just a long wait for some sequels we've waited over a decade for, the light at the end of the tunnel for some titles, just waiting for the final announcements, all while enjoying every single minute of it. Gaming has pretty much transformed my life from me being depressed with no hope in life because of abusive family, to me being proud of what I've played and who I've interacted with when his family failed to actually raise me properly. It has been one hell of a ride, one that will continue even when I'm gone from activity, being in the military, I'll still keep tabs on the news of future titles, see what will impress, and what will disappoint, frankly enough has been a lot of disappointment as of lately.

Still I believe emulation is like preserving a fossil, with time degrading it without any action done, preservation can leave it intact and let us know of an era of gaming ,rather than leaving the books to collect dust behind a shelf for 100 years. It isn't hurting sales if a game from 30 years ago is being emulated on newer devices, most likely it'll be forgotten about otherwise.

It's interesting as well how they had a change graphics button 4 years before Halo: Combat Evolved Anniversary was even announced. If they released it on Xbox and Steam, I'd definitely buy it as there'd be a lot of things fixed
@@finkamain1621 I'm saving money so I can buy 3 more hard drives and put them in a raid array. I need the redundancy, but that also means building a pc competent enough to handle raid, while cheap enough not to kill me at the moment. Baby steps.
How the hell do you get the roms? Or back up physical game data like Muta said?
“Piracy is illegal”
Oh no!

yeah as a fire emblem fan emulation is pretty much required if you want to play any of the older games without spending shitloads of money or just not being able to play the Japanese-only ones at all
The fun thing is that when you look at the reasoning in those cases that solidified emulator legality is that the Judges actually classified emulators as legitimate competition to the original consoles. So stuff like "Yuzu runs Switch games better than the actual Switch" in legal terms just means that the Switch is not a competitive product.
its not the emulator that is the issue its the roms that it uses to play on the emulator and that is piracy
@@Quoi.Phoque no actuly ur not when you buy a game theres a notice on the game and usuly on the case that states that your not authorised to edit remove or modity any aspects of there game that also implies taking the roms from the disk there isnt a way to leagly with out breaching ur agrement take a rom from a game you can argue all you like its still piarcy and piracy is a fellony
@@brendonrookes1151 Those notices aren't necessarily legally even valid or binding. Remember the guarantee void stickers? not legally valid. Also cloning a data medium doesn't modify the original, so the argument is far fetched. Look into what regulations exist in your country about these things. Laws/regulations have greater value and agreements not compliant to those regulations are invalid.
"Emulation is bad. It's illegal."
Uh, hi, emulation is also about preservation. I would prefer to emulate old ps2 games rather than buy second hand, because buying second hand doesn't support the developers at all, unless the game is still being produced (most likely not).
Buying 2nd hand still doesn't support the devs lmao
yeah literally nobody is gonna buy Shin Megami Tensei: Devil Summoner 2: Raidou Kuzunoha vs King Abaddon for 300 dollars
@@shahtayyib he said that it doesnt support the devs at all lol
But it's still illegal tho and he should go to jail
@@shahtayyib I doubt anyone is going to buy a new copy of an older game, considering that they probably aren't producing any more of it, just because I emulating the original Monster Hunter doesn't mean I'm not supporting the devs

At this point its gonma be a sin too repair your old console once it breaks because ItS NoT ThE SaMe ThInG
The same people against emulation are the ones destroying their consoles. Instead of just emulating where you get whatever resolution your screen supports, they'd rather modify their console for HDMI
Almost was thanks to them trying to make it too difficult to repair your tech overall. Look at "the right to repair"
@@Necromorph790 i just seen that like Apple trying stop people by building in some shit that blocks or locks idk the iPhone so guys can't fixem & tells the company's not to sell parts out to any one but them i think( im not very tech smart)

So basically companys and elitists = big doodoo dumbo
All I hope is that Muta makes a video walking through the entire process of how to download and sort out emulation because he’s probably the most useful person when it comes to this.
Emulating was designated legal decades ago, I don't know why people insist it's illegal
Probably due to a mix up between getting the games and actually just emulating the games
Emulating is legal but the main thing is how you're getting the games. Once you have it in your possession, no one can really question you unless you was traced or that you openly admit it, which is *extremely* rare.
@@lightingthief4482 wait soo its legal for me to own (for example) gta sa and emulate it and i could get in jail if i told the devs if i emulate the game on pc? Is that correct?
its legal to emulate it if you own the game and ripped the files from it to emulate it, its ILLEGAL to download the ripped game files from someone else, even if you own a copy already
@@rayq4235 it's perfectly legal to emulate a game as long as you ripped the ROM or ISO yourself--you cannot be prosecuted for that.
Without an emulator I would’ve never played Banjo-Kazooie, Silent Hill 2, F-Zero GX, the Gamecube Mario Parties, Chibi Robo, Xenoblade Chronicles, and so much more. I’m all for game preservation and i’m so grateful that emulators exist.
I played all of those games you mentioned except Xenoblade Chronicles. And yeah, it was only possible through emulation. My parents only gave me one console, which I believe was NES. But that's about it, I never received anything after that. All I have now is an old laptop -- which wasn't meant for me from the start -- on which I get to play sometimes.
Without it i wouldn’t be able to play MegaMan Battle Network series or Astro Boy on the PS2, i’m literally reliving my childhood and i thank god emulation exists.

Dead/old games should be open sourced or change it's license to something free to distribute and share
@Sebastian Hahn Just to be taken down by Nintendo for no reason.
I got downvoted about a bazillion times on Reddit for pointing this shit out. I sold all my games for 30k and have no regrets. Emulation is supreme.
