Emulation, Copyright & Preservation Policy

NerdHobbies covers emulation for education, interoperability, accessibility, homebrew, and game preservation. Emulators are tools; the legal status of particular software, files, and circumvention methods depends on jurisdiction and facts.

What we do

• Explain emulator installation and configuration.
• Discuss compatibility, controllers, displays, performance, accessibility, and preservation.
• Direct readers to official emulator documentation and lawful homebrew or public-domain resources.
• Encourage readers to use software and files they are legally entitled to use.

What we do not do

• Host or link to unauthorized ROMs, ISOs, BIOS files, firmware, title keys, or encryption keys.
• Direct readers to piracy sites or leaked games.
• Sell or promote unauthorized game collections as a product benefit.
• Promise that owning physical media makes every copying or circumvention method lawful everywhere.
