Same, I had Deepseek search for, download and transfer (to my Linux emulation machine) the best Dreamcast games yesterday.

GPT refused to do so (citing that it's illegal even though I own the games). Deepseek did a wonderful job for 7 cents.

At work I use Opus because, why not? But I could easily switch to a less capable model if needed.

In the. US at least it is actually illegal to download ISOs/roms of games, even if you own a physical copy. It's a stupid law and as a downloader (as opposed to the people hosting the files) your chances of getting into any kind of actual legal trouble are effectively 0, but it is still against the law.
