Well as always it's not simple when talking about "emulating" old games on modern hardware. But now preservation of games is just to say threatened just because of companies having them licensed don't want those so-called ROM's being available without further paid.
Well, thanks so far to #Nintendo for hunting down sites offering ROM's for free just because they don't want them being offered for "free". But where are the alternatives? And how to have those games being played in the future for younger generations? There would be no problem when the ROM's are offered for a price to be downloaded complete without DRM-methods. But that's not the way and we stand there now, having problems of newer generations disrespecting and even not understanding how technologies are evolving and perhaps using other ways, holding off sometimes instead being just in dependency of more proprietary nonsense at all. Thanks again to the companies, you are doing us such a great favor. In fact, you're doing just the opposite, but just being ironic at the moment. #Thoughts #Retro-Gaming #Without-Hope

And just as an addition: Therefore systems like #Retrode-2 are more needed. Yes, they are not exclusive licensed throughout #Nintendo. But you know what? I give nothing about that. There are ROM-modules I've never heard of back then and I discover even new ones these days. So? Collecting and preserving them, so younger generations can have a look on those. And I don't want some unneede hipster-deals like "Mini-SNES" without the possibility to run the original ROM-modules without modifying, #Nintendo. Keep those proprietary hardware no need for this! #Thoughts

We let the companies implementing this bullshit-bingo with "Software as a Service", with "Online-Activation", with "Streaming-Services", with "DRM-Platforms" (Steam for example) and there was no further protest. Also there will be no further protest now when sites like emuparadise shutting down their really big archives, full with information and modules. So what's next? The next "hunt" for what exactly? The "ghost of the illegal copy"? There is no thing like "illegal copy". #Thoughts
