Do emulation sites enable video game piracy? Or do they provide a vital public service – access to games that would otherwise be lost? Or perhaps they are both?
That’s the debate currently in the spotlight after a popular emulation site announced it would no longer link to ROMs because it’s worried about potential legal action from video game publishers.
EmuParadise, which bills itself as the biggest retro gaming website on earth, announced the move in a blog post penned by founder MasJ that suggested Nintendo’s recent move against other emulation sites had changed the game for EmuParadise.
