Is gameboy emulation okay?
Wynd_Fox:
It's only legal if you rip the game yourself. I think. It may be illegal no matter what.
Telly:
I don't care if it's "okay" to use emulators, I just use them anyway. Mainly it's for games that I don't have, but if I like them enough, I buy them. Conker's Bad Fur Day is one example. I'm not suggesting that you do it. If you feel bad about it, then don't. I'm just saying that I don't personally have a problem with it.

I assume you don't care if you get banned either?

LOL! I do care. I think I'd only get banned if I actually posted links to emulators and roms, though. I should be okay as long as I don't tell people to pirate games and download roms/emulators. I'm just saying I don't have a problem with it.

Rules clearly state that discussing emulators is fine

You illegally steal a loaf of bread from a store. Eat half of it, and later decide to purchase it.
You think you'll just walk out of there without a problem?

You forgeted up on your example
In this case, the emulator would be equal to a food sample at a store
They give you the food sample, so you can tell whether or not you want to buy that type of food
Tyler66 is doing the same thing.
