Chat is a text only community for casual conversation, please keep shitposting to the absolute minimum. This is intended to be a separate space from c/chapotraphouse or the daily megathread. Chat does this by being a long-form community where topics will remain from day to day unlike the megathread, and it is distinct from c/chapotraphouse in that we ask you to engage in this community in a genuine way. Please keep shitposting, bits, and irony to a minimum.

As with all communities posts need to abide by the code of conduct, additionally moderators will remove any posts or comments deemed to be inappropriate.

Thank you and happy chatting!

i've hung around emulator forums since i was a pre-teen; these kinds of questions were always very common! Emulators in general are very complex programs, with lots of configurable bits. Tech neophytes are always gonna have questions about them.

emulators are some of the least likely programs to fuck with always-online, specifically because the devs know they're playing with legal fire lol
