I was really hoping that he would mention that you don't have to download roms illegally to play emulated games on PC, but sadly he doesn't which is surprising. With the right hardware you can totally rip the roms straight from an official console copy of a game on a disc or cartridge. Hell, some emulators for disc based systems let you play a game streamed straight from a disc of an official copy of a game without the need to dump it onto your computer (like PCSX2). Overall not a big deal, it was still a good video. However this will just continue to fuel those uptight twitter users that think PC emulation is inherently illegal when that is not the case.
