    It’s actually kind of funny that emulators, which explicitly violate copyright law in the US as a circumvention measure prohibited by the DMCA as well as infringing for any rom created after the 1920s (ie. all of them) which have not been placed into the public domain, are perfectly fine here because that doesn’t “feel” like piracy since the games are not generating revenue.

    Anyway, you’re almost certainly looking for [email protected] instead of this community. I didn’t even know that community existed until yesterday with the kerfuffle over lemmy.world defederating from dbzer0.com. Streisand effect-ish in a way. Best of luck, and keep a keen eye out for the EIC.

        It does seem fairly empty at the moment. TBH, I don’t have enough time to play the games I’ve paid for (or gotten from Epic), but it’s interesting that it’s out there.

        edit: there is about twice the unfederated content on the dbzer0 server compared to what is here on Sopuli (as of this morning) if that matters.
