Why do so many games ban emulators?
2 years ago

Most big games I've checked out have emulators completely banned with no exceptions. Sometimes even for consoles that are 6th generation and younger. It doesn't make sense to me to block out a huge group of people.

Is there a fully conclusive reason as to why? I guess cheating is technically easier but you could cheat on real hardware as well with basic CFW.

[quote=Winter_Doggo] I think the proplem people tend to have with emulators is that it's not an official way to play the game, and has the potential to be inaccurate. Mario Kart Wii is a pretty competitive game so any little advantage that could come out of emulation would probably not go down well.[/quote]

They're usually banned for one of four reasons:

  • emulation is inaccurate
  • emulation gives an unfair advantage
  • emulation makes it too easy to cheat without detection
  • legal concerns
