    Well, the PS4 games aren't emulated, they're cracked Windows versions of the games, and the cracks are going to be what is throwing up the hits on the anti-virus scan

      I just like Dawid buying these illegal game drives off Amazon and then being like “guys I don’t think this is allowed, how are they doing this” 😂 …. I’m also guessing that Nintendo and Sony are not ok with you buying entire game libraries for $40
      You are correct this is defiantly not allowed but Amazon doesn’t exactly keep track of that kind of thing and even when they remove a listing or company that company/person will just make new listings and company names and list more of themz

    The big games companies pay the antivirus companies to flag known game hacks/cracks/workarounds as viruses in an attempt to scare the uninitiated away from using pirated games/software. They've been doing this for years now, and the best way to check is to go to the more respected piracy sites and ask there.

    I recently bought that small hard drive one you had for myself with the controllers and also bought a mini business computer off of Amazon and created a pretty nice emulation machine. I ended up cleaning up the hard drive getting rid of games that were not US games since I would never play those when I was a kid, also swapped out the hard drive for a nvme SSD and transferred the contents and then bought new controllers eventually which have been amazing, One small thing about that drive is that the partition was so exact to the size of the drive that I couldn't even update Batocera, I had to realign the partitions when I got the new drive.

    Amazon turns a blind eye because they're getting a portion of whatever people pay for the copyright infringing game drives. there's little enforcement action happening. It's not like the 90's where people set up shop on a corner, selling booteg CDs/DVDs, now you setup shop online and police can't troll online like they troll the streets. That and copyright infringement isn't a "normal" crime, so the average law enforcement agent probably doesn't know what to do about it even if you were to show them the illegal operation. My only question is: who's gonna do something about it to the point where Amazon does something about it. i.e. some one of the copyright holders needs to take Amazon to court for helping in the operation, but proving they were turning a blind eye to it would be a challenge though.

    The fact the drive with all the PS4/PC games costs less than just ONE of those games alone, yeah, 100% Legal, but hey if you have a PC but are low on money and cannot afford to buy the games, these could come in handy for a while till you make enough money where you can buy the games properly then.
    I am sure we all used to pirate games when we were younger, we could not afford them but now we are grown up and have an income we can actually buy them now.
    - These drives look like they would be a good Christmas gift for a child in a family that does not have that much money but don't want their child to be feeling as if they are being left out (their friends have games consoles while they do not, this could help avoid that).
    Because at the end of the day, isn't a happy child, a happy person more important than Piracy, especially when many of these games cannot even be purchased legally anyways???

    As for Trojan Horse, mostly it is just a connection to the pirated game servers. I remembered back then when Garena client (online 'VPN' services for games like DotA) triggered a lot of false positives as well.

The $100+ ones are optical instead and are only used for extra-long cable runs.

    Bastet bless your innocence, Dawid 🥰🥰 Most likely the detected viruses are actually false positives, since the antiviruses detect the cracks as viruses. As for the "OS" on the lastest hard drive, that's actually Launchbox, a dosbox frontend that evolved into a multisystem frontend. Since you can set up the images for each game, they actually gave a PS4 cover to PC games, wich is pretty smart if you ask me.
    Thanks for not endorsing piracy. Pretty tired of youtubers either endorsing it as a form of "rebellion" (wich i find both cringey and very childish) or tiptoeing around it.
