Emulators and ROMs are illegal. I suggest deleting those links at once.Rules said:The Hive Workshop does not condone, encourage, support or tolerate the use of any appz, cracks, hacks, spoofers, torrents, warez or any other type of bootleg, illegal or pirated software (or techniques). The posting of such material or links to it are absolutely forbidden. Posts or threads referring to these subjects will be deleted. Violators may be banned.
Bah, whatever. I'm not a Fair Use lawyer..From what i remember they are legal as long as the game is not longer officially sold in stores etc.
Wiki on ROMs said:However, in the U.S. it has been illegal since 1983 for a user to create their own backups of video game ROMs onto other cartridges. This was decided in the court case of Atari v. JS&A. JS&A manufactured a "game backup" device that allowed users to dump their Atari ROMs onto a blank cartridge. JS&A argued that the archival rule allowed for this. The court disagreed, noting that ROM media was not subject to the same volatility as magnetic media (for which the law was created). Thus, not being so relatively vulnerable, ROMs were not applicable under section 17 USC 117(a)(2).
whoa, this time it really IS a topic revival case in the Gamer's Hub, not just the result of slow forum activity..and nice revival =_=
this deals with the blank cartridge and this was also when these games were availible for retail saleOriginally Posted by Wiki on ROMs

no they dont "compete" but it is a great way to play old games if your nintendo dosent work ne more like mineI don't think it's possible for a nintendo game to be a pc title. I don't think they could ever compete with microsoft in the pc game department.
yes i know the odds are slim but hey its not my problem if he/she uses it for illegal purposeswe already know drugs are illegal to possess, kthx. and honor system? what the hell are the chances that the next person to use the site you've linked to has the game he's about to download? I'm willing to bet the odds are astoundingly slim.
Yes, i'm sure the thing that holds the software makes all the difference when you duplicate it.this deals with the blank cartridge and this was also when these games were availible for retail sale
Yes, I know if I spray someone's food with lead paint the odds are huge that it kills him/her, but hey it's not my problem if he/she dies.yes i know the odds are slim but hey its not my problem if he/she uses it for illegal purposes
There's a CHANCE that spraying lead paint on food will not result in death. Because of that chance, in your logic, it's "not my problem"totally different but if thats what you want to think ok...
spraying someone with lead paint is attemptive murder witch is a whole nother world of wrong and it would be your fault because you knew it would cause them harm and like i said i dont know if he is going to use it for legal purrposes or not just like limewire so its not my problem
In your point of view, then, it should be legal to sell crack, meth, heroin, etc. But to use it would be illegal?thats like saying if someone gave you a gun and u shoot someone they are to blame...
Yes, that reminds me, you never had a rebuttal for my statement about the "current law"no my point of veiw is the current law

It doesn't matter the vessel, it is still copied material, and if you use mod apathy as an argument for the legality of this, it's honestly not much to stand on.it matters BECAUSE that was a product that put the ROM onto a cartridge for play on its original system
and therefore was illegal but roms are NOT and obviously either the modoration sucks or takes my side because my links are still active and im not banned
Correct me if I'm wrong, but the DMCA prevents this kind of stuff unless the game itself is not commercially available.im just sayin ROMS are not illegal
the law is screwed up an contradicts itself deal with it
ROMS are legal
