Terms of Use

Last updated: August 13, 2026

By using BootPixel, you agree to the following terms. If you do not agree, please stop using the website.

Informational purpose

BootPixel publishes educational information about retro handhelds, classic games, emulation, maintenance, setup, and related products. Content is provided for general informational purposes and is not professional repair, legal, financial, or safety advice.

Device and software risks

Firmware installation, storage-card imaging, hardware modification, and configuration changes can cause data loss, device failure, or loss of warranty coverage. Compatibility may vary between hardware revisions that appear similar. You are responsible for checking official documentation, backing up your data, and deciding whether any procedure is appropriate for your exact device.

Lawful use

You are responsible for complying with applicable laws and licenses. BootPixel does not host or distribute copyrighted games, unauthorized BIOS files, activation keys, or tools intended to bypass access controls. References to emulation are intended for lawful preservation, interoperability, homebrew, and the use of software you are entitled to use.

Accuracy and availability

We work to provide clear and accurate information, but hardware, firmware, prices, availability, and third-party documentation may change. BootPixel does not guarantee that every page is complete, current, or suitable for every situation. The site may be changed, interrupted, or removed without notice.

External websites

Links to manufacturers, software projects, stores, or other websites are provided for convenience and reference. BootPixel does not control those websites and is not responsible for their content, security, availability, products, or policies.

Intellectual property

Unless otherwise stated, original BootPixel text, branding, and graphics may not be republished in full or used commercially without permission. Product names, trademarks, screenshots, and third-party materials belong to their respective owners and are used only for identification, commentary, or reference where permitted.

Limitation of responsibility

To the extent permitted by applicable law, BootPixel is not responsible for losses arising from reliance on site content, including data loss, device damage, interrupted use, purchase decisions, or issues caused by third-party products and services.

Changes to these terms

These terms may be updated as the website evolves. Continued use after an update means you accept the revised terms. Questions may be submitted through the Contact page.
