Hello there !
I wanted to know what to do when you start piracy
I want to play a game, but don’t want to give any money to mustache plumber companie, so i figured out i will be pirating the game
Thing is, i don’t have the slightest idea of where to begin, where to find the files, what behaviour are safe, what practices are bad or dangerous and so on
Mostly on the internet for emulation tutorial, the step “get a rom file pf the game” is never explained (quite understandable)
So if you have ressources to link that explains the “basics” of pirating, i would be very happy :)
In terms of emulators, the only Nintendo ones I’ve used are DeSmuME, which is a DS emulator, and Dolphin, which is a GameCube and Wii emulator. Both worked pretty well in my experience and I can’t recall having any particular issues. In terms of ROMs, just search “game name console name ROM” and you should be able to find what you need pretty easily
As others have said, use a VPN when pirating
Eden for Switch and Cemu for Wii U as well.
Plus a number of options for the older consoles and handhelds, but Retroarch would cover those.
