Warning: Using unsupported legacy Windows versions online is dangerous and could – in the worst case in conjunction with a VM-escape exploit – lead to infecting your host computer. This is – admittedly – not very likely because current malware in the wild probably does not have compatibility...
1. My devices:
If I buy a computer (this means PCs, smartphones, consoles, TVs,…), I may do anything with it I like, unless it violates laws. Clearly it is not allowed to smash a laptop onto another person’s head, or open the battery to dispose the chemicals into the wood or using it for...
1.Preliminary remark
As my avatar shows, I like the Mother/Earthbound series – although it was never released in Europe until the Wii U VC version. I got my Wii U at the beginning of this year and bought Earthbound and Earthbound Zero some months ago – and knew immediately I had missed something...
The first part is a little theoretical. I try keep it as short as possible – but nevertheless the text is quite long.

Rough translation of their claim (I have a link and a screenshot but I’m not sure if it is a good idea to post either of them): “If only...
Last time I presented a short text snippet taken from an instruction booklet (Donkey Kong Country) and only briefly commented it. I repeat my translation of this text:
"Warning
Copying Nintendo-games is illegal and violates German and international copyright laws. This is also valid for...
This is the first time I upload a detailed personal opinion on a topic. That alone is not easy for me. Plus: I have do to it in English. Although I read a lot in English on the Internet and watch videos in English, I’m not quite comfortable about writing or even speaking the language myself. I...
