And you’ll have to figure out your dad on your own ig
Search up an emulator for PS3 and enjoy
TO: okay
I pirated Mario and Luigi: Superstar Saga because there's no way to legally obtain a copy without going to things like EBay
And that's my opinion on piracy. It's ok if it's no longer possible to legally obtain a copy without going to people reselling their own copies
RC: IF YOU PIRATE USE A VPN (and not a free one those steal your data) AND LEARN HOW TO TORRENT
Or some shi like that idk
TO: sure
Emulation is preservation
RC: AND ALSO MAYBE GET AN AD BLOCKER AS WEBSITES THAT HOST SUCH THINGS MAY HAVE MALICIOUS ADS
Oh uh... does using a program that loads Game Boy Advance ROMs require that as well?
TO: uh huh
Take notes take notes
RC: you mean like an emulator or...? running an emulator by itself is fine just getting the software that games are contained on is risky
TO: i forgot i literally can’t cause i have literally everything made by him
you want a good site for downloading roms?
this site has a huge store of old games that are harder to find nowadays, plus a ton of romhacks and links to emulators
for emulators, go to the emulation lair, and go to the vault for the actual roms
BEFORE YOU GO TO THIS SITE GET AN ADBLOCKER IT'S SO FLOODED WITH ADS IT'S INSANE
RC: me personally I don't go after anything later than the 90s, as I don't know how to torrent OR can afford a vpn, and I use internet archive because I find internet archive to be the most trustworthy site, but doing all these things I'm doing might be stupid, don't do what I do (except internet archive that's good)
this is so incredibly, horrifyingly real
my biggest experience with this was Kingdom Hearts: 358/2 Days, which goes out for like hundreds of dollars on amazon
The name of the emulator is mGBA if it helps
Oh yeah I also have Pokemon FireRed and LeafGreen. This is because I was playing Pokemon Blue on my mom's Gameboy Advance SP when at some point the save data was erased and I lost like hours of progress
TO: i get my nes snes, like all old nintendo console games from the official emulator, it’s pretty good in my opinion and i found my favorite video game ever made on there so i can’t complain that much
