How to play rom hacks on blarg snes4/15/2023 I suppose the other side of this coin is that banning runs done on emulators creates a paywall for submitting legal runs, because in order to qualify to submit a run, you must purchase the game and system. Furthermore, according to the information in that link, it seems that this kind of thing can have serious consequences on the site as a whole, because "(websites) can be held liable for copyright and trademark violations,regardless of whether the illegal software and/or devices are on their site or whether they are linking to the sites where the illegal items are found." If that is the case, then shouldn't runs for Nintendo games played on an emulator be banned from this site?Īs a random example, about half of the runs done for the Pokemon Red/Blue Any% claim to be done on a GBA emulator, but according to Nintendo, these are all done with illegal, pirated software. From what I can tell, it looks like all games played on an emulator- at least for Nintendo- are done so illegally, because they haven't released any of the rights to any of their games, nor have they built or released any ported versions for emulators. I would have thought obtaining a copy of something you already purchased would be within your rights, but it looks like it's not.
