1 year agoIt’s arch. It just happened to be the composition i had my previous arch setup as. Yay for AUR stuff, KDE Plasma for DE. Includes a couple of useful tools and makes for a very solid OS.
Anyone who has been in the Ubuntu sphere of things with Linux, should take a moment to try arch. EndeavourOS is perfect for these people.
Legally, it does. For it to be legal, you need to show proof of ownership for the game. At its base, you can say that companies like Nintendo are trying their best to remove access to games through the work of their legal department.
But i think most these games that have been lost to history or are in danger of it are games we don’t care much for anymore. Like old Atari games and the many thousands that have filled the libraries of the different game consoles over the past 40 years.
And even with emulation, that ROM still has to be saved somehow. Any medium we store data on is volatile. So, even with emulation, there’s still a risk of loss and then already we’ve lost the copy of a game and not the original. This also means, the original medium with its artwork would be gone.
Time to make a video game library, i suppose.
