Emulation

[Godfatha]

That's how my friend beat Mike Tyson in Mike Tyson's Punch Out. I myself am trying to do it the real method with the NES in trying to survive the bastard.

[oldskool]

I beat Mike Tyson in the NES game. Found it easier than doing it in the emulator, that's for sure.

And personally, I think they need to modify the law against ROMs. I mean, sure, if I make a ROM of some new game and sell it, that's one thing; but they're not SELLING the ROMs, for one, and the game company *cough*Nintendo*cough* isn't making money selling the SNES games...because they stopped making them YEARS ago!

As far as I'm concerned, if you're not making the game anymore, it should become open source. It's stupid to lock people out of really good NES/SNES games because you don't want to make them anymore...the only reason they do it that I can tell is to get people to buy Animal Crossing to get the games.

Didnt they make certain roms from certain systems legal a while ago?

I think I heard that all Atari, NES, Master System, Genesis and SNES roms that have not been remade for newer systems are legal now

I used to be all about Roms. One day, my internet provider, Charter, mailed me and said "You have illegal software on your computer. blah blah blah, we'll cancel your internet if you don't delete these." Anyway, I guess they didn't care that I had roms just all of my Mario games. I deleted the Mario games and kept the rest. Haven't heard from them since.

I've never heard of an ISP doing that before... they went through and looked at what you download?

Sega just released Sonic collection, they would be stupid to now go and make all the old sonic games freely available as roms.

In general, they have been making logs of what people have been downloading. If a users rates are insane they'll actually crack it open and find out what the scoop is.

You can thank the RIAA for that one.

If the ISP says, Hey, you have illegal content on your computer delete it or else, can't you just say, Ok. It's deleted, prove it's not.

They can't see what's on your machine, nor what you've deleted, or what you're doing. only what you download/upload..

[EWRFan]

Me too....I had like 1000 roms or so....I deleted a lot to make space, but still have like 300

[Godfatha]

yeah

[Steveomac]

Why not? And it was the movie not the game btw.

[Godfatha]

Well it is against the rules to say that you have downloaded copyrighted material.

[Steveomac]

Whats the difference in what I said and what Carnage said? But sry if what I did was against the rules wont happen again, but isnt this whole thread talking about downloading copyrighted material?

[K]

No it's not. read the new warez rules.

[The Kraig]

You can make back-up copies of software incase your original disk/s is broken/corrupt/etc. I'd assume that computer games count as software.

[Carnage]

Yea I didn't know ISP's could actually see the things that I download or whatever on my computer. It kind of scared me when I first read the letter.
