I just started using emulators and it's a great gaming experience.
So what I would like to know is what kind of video games do you guys have on your emulators.
So what I would like to know is what kind of video games do you guys have on your emulators.
Mostly japanese titles made by Konami, like Twinbee's Rainbow Bell Adventure and Parodius 1-3.
Of course, I also have ones that aren't made by Konami, like the Quest of Ki (Namco), Shodai Nekketsu Kouha Kunio-kun (Technos Japan), or Captain Tsubasa 3 (Tecmo)

I would just speak in hypotheticals, if I were you, thecrow. Like, instead of "I have these games", say "I may or may not be speculating on getting these games in a semi-legal format". That way, it doesn't look so bad to the mods :)
I got these games legally and even if I didn't I can just remove from my emulators. I got them from -removed- and -removed-.
I thought emulators and roms were illegal regardless of where you got them from. I never knew there was a legal way to get them.
Well...in that case, I guess I got all of mine legally also. Thats a sweet deal!!!!!!!!

Well, I couldn't find anything from Sony, but I'll keep looking. Here is the official information from Nintendo's website:
Can I Download a Nintendo ROM from the Internet if I Already Own the Authentic Game?
There is a good deal of misinformation on the Internet regarding the backup/archival copy exception. It is not a "second copy" rule and is often mistakenly cited for the proposition that if you have one lawful copy of a copyrighted work, you are entitled to have a second copy of the copyrighted work even if that second copy is an infringing copy. The backup/archival copy exception is a very narrow limitation relating to a copy being made by the rightful owner of an authentic game to ensure he or she has one in the event of damage or destruction of the authentic. Therefore, whether you have an authentic game or not, or whether you have possession of a Nintendo ROM for a limited amount of time, i.e. 24 hours, it is illegal to download and play a Nintendo ROM from the Internet.
So pretty much, you're supposed to use your own copy to generate the ROM. Yet, it also contradicts itself:
Are Game Copying Devices Illegal?
Yes. Game copiers enable users to illegally copy video game software onto floppy disks, writeable compact disks or the hard drive of a personal computer. They enable the user to make, play and distribute illegal copies of video game software which violates Nintendo's copyrights and trademarks. These devices also allow for the uploading and downloading of ROMs to and from the Internet. Based upon the functions of these devices, they are illegal.
So pretty much whatever you do, ROMS are illegal, because you can't make your own copy, because the devices are technically illegal that generate the ROM.
Is there a f***in manual to this machine?! I mean, Jesus, make up your MINDS!:confused:
Oh, and sadly, the final part to this:
Can Websites and/or Internet Content Providers be Held Liable for Violation of Intellectual Property Rights if they are Only Providing Links to Illegal Software and/or Other Illegal Devices?
Yes. Personal Websites and/or Internet Content Providers sites That link to Nintendo ROMs, Nintendo emulators and/or illegal copying devices can be held liable for copyright and trademark violations, regardless of whether the illegal software and/or devices are on their site or whether they are linking to the sites where the illegal items are found.
So we're all screwed. :(

I scoff at your roms, you're not really playing the game unless you're playing it on the system it came out for as God inteded you to.
Nah, roms are cool, but as a collector, I don't use them personaly.

Let me ask you this
If roms and emulators are so illegal, why doesn't the provider get rid of them?

I'm suprised this thread hasnt got locked yet.
Agreed. I've actually BOUGHT some of the games I've used to play/tried for a bit emulated (Chrono Trigger, Ghostbusters on Genesis, Faxanadu, Legend of the Mystical Ninja, Castlevania Bloodlines, etc.) It's only the right thing.
I don't really emulate things much anymore, otherwise. I've kinda grown out of it... I've learned that nothing actually beats sitting there with an actual controller. I'd say ROMings only good if you need to rip sprites, record music or SFX, try before you buy... or hacking it to make it a new game, or a sexual, messed up versions of popular NES games.

Anyone know where I can find a good Commodore 64 emulator, i miss my C64 games :(
I use mine exclusively for its "Double Dragon: Birthday Suit Edition".
since we're now posting links to the roms themselves, this will be crushed.
discussing is fine IMO, but when you're linking to the content, that's another story.
also, nintendo is pretty much contradicting themselves with the DMCA. under that, you are entitled one archival or backup copy of your software. as long as you don't distribute the ROM image without the actual card, then you're good. then again, the DMCA is illegal in itself, so hey.
PS: the emulators themselves are legal, however, the ROMs are another story.
