The Ethics of Emulation David Gale February 24 th

What is Emulation? OED2: The technique by which a computer is enabled, by means of special hardware or software, to execute programs written for a different type of computer. Commonly, “emulation” refers to emulating a video game system on a computer.

Emulated Systems on Macintosh Listing from

Why Emulate? Price Nostalgia

Why Emulate? Price Nostalgia Replace old or broken system Portability Translated games

Why Emulate? Price Nostalgia Replace old or broken system Portability Translated games Games which are no longer available on the mass market

Why not emulate? Piracy Inferior quality Inferior experience Potential viruses

LegalityLegality Backing up your own software is “fair use” and protected under copyright law. Reverse engineering to create the emulator may be legal. –DMCA appears to inhibit reverse engineering. –Sony v. Connectix allows for reverse engineering as “fair use” for “non-infringing” functionality.

EthicalityEthicality Backup purposes are ethical (and legal). Avoiding purchasing a system widely available on the market is questionable. Avoiding purchasing available games is piracy, and unethical. If a game is no longer or never was available, there is no ethical burden.
