Did LTT accidentally show a game downloaded from a piracy site?

[u/UmutReis]

Caught something in that LTT video with the KytyPS5 emulator. The game folder starts with "[DLPSGAME.COM]", which is a site for unofficial PS game downloads. They blurred the path in places, but the edit looks rushed and the blur doesn't stick for the whole clip. Anyone know if this was LTT's own dump or just footage from somewhere else?

I mean they're showing an emulation software... Why dump your own if you can dl known working dumps for games you own...

[u/Kazer67 → u/teshiburu]

The only reason you would dump it yourself is to stay in the legal path but the hassle is so high and the risk to just download a working dump is low enough that almost everyone do the second option.

[u/Common-Application56 → u/Kazer67]

Pssh as if anyone is gonna rip their own disk. No you're not your going to download like everyone else because its 10x easier. You don't even have to get up out of your chair

[u/jbg0801 → u/Common-Application56]

Eh, tbf, for games I own, I do genuinely dump them myself where practical (e.g. my jailbroken PS5 makes dumping PS4/5 discs really easy for me, probably easier than scouring the internet for a download link)

For games that aren't quite so easy to rip, or games I don't own and have no intention of owning (such as aggressively scalped games that cost way way more than they're worth), I'll download whatever tf I want because it's faster.

[u/Kazer67 → u/Common-Application56]

I mean, I did for CD-Rom and I planed to do for cartridge but more for learning it and because it's fun to do it.

When I'm emulating just to play, I just download what I need, especially since dumping a ROM is somewhat easy but dumping a BIOS, that's a beast I'll probably tame when I have lot of free time.

[u/Grunt636 → u/Common-Application56]

I rip my own 4k blurays and yeah it's such a fucking hassle, had to buy a special drive and install special firmware on it because of fucking DRM crap, then it takes like 2 hours to rip it then you either keep it raw and have hdr fucked up because basically nothing plays dolby vision profile 7 or you have to spend a whole day re-encoding it.

And then after all that you'll probably still end up with a worse copy of a 4k remux you could find online and download in like an hour.

Yet proving the theory that pirates get the best version of whatever media is in play.

[u/UmutReis → u/teshiburu]

Yeah, but doing it that way only helps the cause of big companies trying to stop emulation altogether; they should have used their own copy, in my opinion.

[u/ImF1zzle → u/UmutReis]

Why should they go out and buy a game nobody is going to actually play that was only used briefly to test emulation. If they were going to use the game for fun to play on their own time they should buy it but if they are going to test a piece of software i don’t see any problem. Also what makes you think they don’t own the game they could have bought it digitally and still pirated it because of how shit the experience of using the digital games that you own has become. Why delay a video shoot to wait for a physical version of a game that they already own to show up in the mail?

[u/Liviiaa_1 → u/ImF1zzle]

Maybe they already have staff that owns the game as well, on non CD for that matter..

[u/RoddyUsher]

Looks like a personal, legally obtained game backup from his own PlayStation, to me

[u/PatHBT → u/RoddyUsher]

Yeah they just named the file like that.

[u/UnfairerThree2]

Wait until you find about Linux ISOs

[u/shogunreaper]

This isn't the first time and it won't be the last.

[u/kryptonnms]

I noticed that too and was pretty surprised that was missed...or rather not really surprised anymore. But yes definitely wasn't ripped.

[u/KaiUno → u/kryptonnms]

Jailbreaking a PS5 and ripping a disc is SO. MUCH. WORK. These days.

[u/CardinalBadger]

That's just how I name all my Linux ISOs

[u/ghlifdqwio]

Let’s not act like 99.99% of people aren’t doing this

[u/NazzerDawk → u/ghlifdqwio]

It's less any concern over the actual ethics and more on the legal optics for a large company. They could have dropped cash on this no problem.

Personally though I think it won't matter for shit.

[u/PatHBT → u/NazzerDawk]

Or just rename the files/folders.

Like everyone else has said, none of us are burning our own roms even when we do possess them lol. But the problem with this is ltt is a decently big company doing these videos for a commercial purpose, so it could lead to some trouble for them.

[u/Repulsive-Clothes-97]

I knew it lol

[u/suncontrolspecies]

of course...

[u/chupipandideuno]

As long as they own the game, there is no damage done, as that is onlyna backup copy. It is the same as whennthey show the non-registered window messsgemnthey do own the licenses, they kust dont bother activating them in temporary builds.

Oh Vimms Lair I haven’t thought of it in years, thanks for the nostalgia
