Seriously, if you ever owned a game and console you have the right to run it emulated right? What if you rented it at blockbuster and it was in your game files or memory cards? They'd have no way to know, also it might not later anyways. If you rented a game you legally could've spent tons of time and beat it all. So what are the official rules of it all?

As scary as these anti-piracy screens are, nothing comes close to the horror that is Earthbound's actual legitimate anti-piracy tactics which literally delete your saves.

[@TheMrRuttazzo]

Though current versions of the roms actually won't do that anymore, maybe they fixed it in the meantime? My friend played it on a Raspberry/RetroPi machine and the finale went regular like expected, and I... I mean, my friend... didn't even know about that harsh measure.

[@UntalentedBrick]

You couldn't save either. They let you play to the very end (and it was harder) and stops (and thus deletes) the file at the VERY end, right before the final boss to my knowledge.

[@yurei4414]

Nah, the personalized copies were better. Because yeah, the Wario head videos were dumb, but the personalized copies had also those fever dream like video such as Breaking the Barrier that were waaay more intresting and also do a better job at being eerie creepy. Also because they showed a lot of competence in romhacking while theese antipiracy videos are all just lazy and the concept of the antipiracy is not intresting, unlike the personalized copies, wich on paper were a very intresting idea (wich as I already said shown their potential sonetime). I was a lot into the personalized copies's groove but not on this one: they took everything that was bad from the past creepypasta, leaving behind all the cool and intresting ones.
