oh yeah, no doubt.
I used to emulate everything and legit play everything too.

I'm slowly modding my consoles, so I can play off hard drives or sd cards at this point anyways.

But I will be ripping only the games I own, it's not as much fun collecting anymore since i've fallen into the trap of buying just because it's there and cheap. I'm making an effort to play my consoles and such, and everything is hooked up to a low end projector, so I don't get a million pixels, and it's fantastic.

At the end of the day, I mean I could just hook a pc to my projector as well, and just run everything like that too... but I guess this is a bit late to the game since the value of a lot of the games now, kinda make it less fun. lol
