29 long years have passed since I founded the emulation archive, Zophar's Domain, on 11.9.96. To this very day, the site still stands as a testament to an era that never actually disappeared but continues to live in the hearts of retrogamers all over the word. Emulation Forever!

Emulation is legal. YUZU settled as they didn’t want to fight Nintendo’s endless money, and gave too much information out with regards to the key decryption process. Do not be afraid to emulate and don’t let Nintendo scare you! They’ve been bullying for decades. Remember this?

Well, if that doesn’t sum it up nicely, I don’t know what does…

Being laid off stinks. That said - I have free time now! I think it's time to finally finish editing my interview with ZSKnight (one half of the original developer team of ZSNES in the 1990s). Let you all know when it's done, should be this week, and I hope you all enjoy.

Nintendo wishing me (the guy that ran the infamous emulation site) a happy birthday never gets old!

Some have been asking me what I think of Nintendo’s actions when it comes to how it “protects its IPs”. I hope this little graphic summarizes it nicely.

Today's the day. 28 years later... (no, not the zombie apocalypse), I still can't fathom that Zophar's Domain has stood the test of time. Truly unbreakable! While many many other sites are lost to the sands of time, The Domain lives on. Thank you everyone, and emulation forever!

A good watch. Remember - Nintendo can't stop all emulators. Don't include step-by-step instruction on how to dump keys and don't put it behind a paywall. Emulation Forever!

I was today years old when I was informed that on the Castlevania II cover, Simon Belmont's whip is extended in a way that makes it form the number "2". Wow.
