Let me start by saying that I have complete and utter respect for the volunteers working on Dolphin.
Thank you for this fantastic emulator and for the hard work of all the developers. This forum however.. hmm..
Ok.. I'm triggered!
Banned for stating they downloaded games? Seriously?
What if the person owned that game?
What if the person downloaded their own copy that they uploaded?
Did they share a link? Did they specifically give somebody the link to that download with intent on piracy?
No, I don't believe they did.
I'm sorry but the rules and regulations on this forum are just... well.. completely and utterly retarded and the level of hypocrisy is beyond words.
I don't believe for a damn second that a moderator or developer on this forum isn't guilty of not once downloading a "back up" of their own game.
And that leads me to the next part of my rant by stating that there is actually no difference in either "ripping", or downloading a copy of your own game because either is action is apparently illegal in most western countries.
"But, but.. this forum is based on US law..".. Yeah I don't give a damn as I'm from a country with somewhat of a digital freedom.
So yeah.. why not just cease work on this emulator and close down the forum.
I say this because the very existence of this emulator and this forum encourages people to download games that they likely have stored away in their attic.
Also don't bother explaining to me about "these are our rules and regulations, either like 'em or lump 'em".
I originally made an account on here to constructively help people with their emulation problems, but the attitude amongst the community and especially on the android section is just appalling.
Infact, I often wonder why there is even an android section on the forum..
Rant over.
Since this is apparently the North Korea of emulation forums, feel free to
