Today marks the 30th anniversary of the founding of Zophar's Domain, the original emulation archive & news site. I am extremely proud that all these years later, emulation is not only still relevant, but crucial as physical hardware can't last forever.

I'm a big fan of emulation, and even have gotten heat for it, but these people are truly insufferable

Anytime I see people talk about emulation like this I think about the Scott The Woz video where he's talking about how confusing emulation can be with footage of Dolphin, the easiest emulator in history, playing in the background.

I think the recent surge of ai vibecoded emulation, especially with the Switch 2, really pushes my personal opinion that the majority of emulation fans don’t actually care about game preservation, and they just want free shit.

One of the most important sites in my early emulation life. I was visiting it pretty much from launch! I'm glad it's still around.

I believe in two things at once.
Emulation is vital in the gaming community to preserve games, especially in an industry that has always put greater value on the newest releases over any attempt at archival.
Emulation proselytizers need an atomic wedgie.
These are not mutually exclusive.

i don't have anything personal against emulation/piracy, but the way people who consume Nintendo games through it specifically always talk like they're sticking it to the man and it's so cringe

Also at least vegans actually commit to the choice whereas most emulation guys just start up a thing, take a picture of the title screen, and then move on

The fact is that emulation has never had that effect in the past, so why would it now?

To me emulation is about game preservation. The switch 2 has not even been out for 2 years yet. This feels so wrong.

Emulation guys gey paired up with vegans a lot because despite both of them arguably being good for you and something you should maybe practice nobody would listen since a lot of the time it sounds like people desperate for any amount of attention without actually practicing what they preach
