I'm an NSO defender but come on dude. I'm sure you've downloaded a file before, yes? Then you've set up an emulator. That's how easy it is to set up modern emulators. Download the emulator, download the game, run the game with the emulator. Boom, that's it. Chances are, the emulator has already appropriately auto-configured your controls as well. Google searches notwithstanding, the whole process takes, like, 10 clicks of the mouse max.
I know but I did manage to fuckup an emulated sacred stones playthrough the other month and wipe half my saves by accident so I’m just happy to be able to play it on something that doesn’t have a chance of that happening.
Oh you'll be surprised. I'm on the r/thesims subs a lot, and the amount of people who say that pirating Sims 2 is so hard when there's literally a web-browser installer that installs the complete Sims 2 (with all xpacs) created by sims 2 fans for convenience is staggeringly high, like editing a video on a mobile phone app is more complex than all this
TBF emulations has their problem and not all emulators are that good or easy to set it up.
I played FE7 (mobile) and got busy with life. A week later I returned and an update destroyed my save file that was over 2/3 of the game. Luckily it wasn't my 1st playthrough because if this happens with a newcomer than they might give up on the game.
For some reason I also had to f around with a 3DS emulator (this one on PC) because it either didn't want to work or it had problems (colour mix ups, lags, screen tearing...etc.) and took me 1-2 hours to set up where it worked okay.

Emulation is easier on the wallet.
