Emulator Discords won't help

Just a heads up: anyone that downloads roms for PCSX2 emulators will not get any graphics help or any assistance from the people in the PCSX2 Discord. They take "legal" roms very seriously, even though they expect you to buy the PS2 system from someone else, buy the game, *hack* the PS2 system to download the ISO roms, and *then* use their emulator. Doesn't matter if the game is discontinued and companies aren't making money anymore, I guess.
Also correct me if I'm wrong, but modding systems is technically illegal, isn't it?
