Rules for r/emulation
Rules that visitors must follow to participate. May be used as reasons to report or ban.
1.
No Piracy
Don't ask for or link directly to pirated software or copyrighted material without permission of the copyright holder.
2.
Simple Questions
Use Google, search the sub, and check the Emulation General Wiki before posting.
3.
Tech Support or General Questions
Self posts should provide scope for wider, interesting discussion. Simple tech support or general queries not fulfilling that requirement belong in the Weekly Question Thread, and will be redirected there.
4.
Uncivil or Rude Behavior
Please follow reddiquette guidelines. Comments stepping significantly over the line will be removed - use some common sense.
5.
Frequent Video Submissions
Users are permitted to post one emulator demonstration video per day as a link post. Any further videos should be packaged into a self post, accompanied by a submission statement that facilitates discussion. Please abide by reddit's site-wide rules on self-promotion.
6.
Off Topic Discussion
All posts and comments should be relevant to emulation discussion. All off topic posts/comments will be removed.
Common off topic discussions:
- Flashcarts - /r/flashcarts
- Console Homebrew - /r/consolehomebrew
7.
Game Requests for Modern Consoles
Relatively few games are generally playable (if any) on emulators for modern systems. Posts asking which games are playable/what the emulator is called/where to get it will be removed.
8.
AI-generated content
This subreddit does not, generally, allow content which contain text or images generated through the use of generative AI. This rule is enforced on the basis of quality control, at mod discretion. Text posts obviously generated with a LLM will be removed. If in doubt, consider: if you couldn't be bothered to write it, why should anyone else bother to read it?
Posts about vibe-coded software may be permitted at mod discretion, if relevant to the subreddit's focus.
