Apparently I shouldn't have asked this question. There's nothing to see here.

    The rules thread has been viewed over 24,000 times. Evidently none of those views came from you.

    Ok, so the guy pretty much confessed to downloading a game for use on an emulator, but his question is really on the lighter side of the emulation thing. There's nothing illegal about using a 360 gamepad on PC software (by the way, yes, you just plug it in and Windows gets you drivers. You can use a PS2 one with an adapter), and that's what the question is about. He broke etiquette by pointing out that the software itself is emulating copyrighted stuff from Nintendo, but his question is legit, right?

    This is the problem and this is why the thread shouldn't have been posted.
