why are they "jerks"? not like those games are hot hot in the arcades(whats an arcade looool?) and making bank and people are playing them for free. arcades are dead and emulation is the only the reason these games are not completely lost/forgotten. we should thank all these jerks for still caring about ancient game.

No$ gb emu for me too, mainly to play dodgy 70% translations of Pokemon games since they weren't out yet

While I agree with this 100%... piracy is the very reason that a project like mame remains popular and as a consequence the games are actually preserved and documented, as opposed to sitting on a lone server waiting to be forgotten..... we are going to ruin this thread real quick if we start up that discussion.  I think it's best just to let this one go.  ;)

I refer to the general internet population as jerks mostly because... well... you've been on the internet, yes?   ;D
