    Default Why isn't there an emulation board?

    Or any emulators in the emulation section, for that matter.

    It might because most of THEM frown upon emulation and things it usually pertains to.

    That and you can get better results just asking in individual forums.

    The emulators probably just never got uploaded again when all of the changes occured.

    No emulation forum because that would lead to millions of "omfg can you get me xxxx game plz" or "omfg where r da ps2 emus." Generally piracy is looked down upon on these boards.

    I recommend Emulator Zone if you're looking for an emulator.

    I figured that's what you meant, but we'd still probably get a lot of people in there requesting all kinds of things that could get us in trouble. That's a problem a lot of boards dedicated to emulation have.

    I don't think there's enough threads to justify giving emulation it's own forum at this place Most of such threads work well enough in the appropriate game forum the person is trying to emulate, or in General Gaming

    If you want to talk about Emulation you can, there are enough forums to do it in. As cl_out said we don't need to make another, there's no justification.

    We try to avoid having a forum for each and ever little thing. The Emulation forum would either get spammed with people looking for ROMS as some have suggested, or would eventually get mostly ignored.

    And there's also the legalities of ROMs in general. We have, as I recall, some older ROMs on the frontsite, but what happens if people start trading more recent ROMs? It would be more trouble than it's worth.
