Or to the PC is more like it. I'm talking about ROM's. Little game files that, with the right program, allow you to play you favorite games for a system on your computer. (Or ones you don't have/can't afford.)

For DS and GBA ROMS.

Anyone have a site for different kinds of ROMS?

[SPKuja]

I know of a few, but I'm not sure it's a good diea to talk about them on here, as the whole legal grey side fo things

[Finalage]

Oh, that, it's free to talk about mine. It's server is in Israel, where it IS legal to do what they do what they do, offer ROM's to the public. We don't sell any thing to any one in any way. It's free, only takes some of your time to become a member and wait around for a day..or post and convert your earned GP to DP.

No legal problems here. On your side though...I know nothing.

Even so, things like that within the UK and the US has it's finer points, with a hefty fine included.

Still try to be a bit more discreet with things like this as we can be narrowed down by the law in our respective nations.

[SPKuja]

I think we should set a rule. Talking about them is fine, after all, free speach and what not. but just no linking to them? That way, I think it is fair on every one!

[Finalage]

I removed the link, perfectly okay. As I know of the little..complications the world has. Of course, my telling you is perfectly honest and innocent. I'm not actually making you do anything am I?

*Wonders for a few seconds on how that sentence could be taken...*


Anywho, no harm done, and if any was, it has been eliminated in a quick swoop.

To besides...a forum is a forum. There are other things we can do on a forum...

Personally..I linked to here on there. Wonder if anyone will bite the link and check GG out?

haha, the grey area of emulators...

they're actually completely legal, all over the world... as long as you own the game in its original form. I've looked into this many times, and always get the same answer.

If you own an original copy of the ROM'd format, there is nothing wrong with it!

[SPKuja]

But most people don't own the original game

I think it is also legal to have the ROM even if you don't have the game if the game is no longer available to purchase. But, then again, it could just have been an internet rumour, so not sure on that one!

[Uforia77]

technically, thats true, but if you can find it in any second hand shop, it could be argued that it is still available for purchase...

[SPKuja]

Silly grey areas of the law!

[Uforia77]

i agree!

*grabs paint bucket*

wont be grey for long!

[SPKuja]

I'll go get the brushes!!!

[Uforia77]

haha, who needs brushes when you can do this?

[SPKuja]

I'm painting my room next month.... Now I know how to do it with ease!!!

Though, back on topic, has any one ever played a ROM of Streets of Rage 3? It's a fan made sequel, so I believe it is safe to talk about it here lol

It's pretty good, and very true to the originals!

[Uforia77]

no!! i wish i have now though, i remember playing the first one, and for its time, the game was pretty decent... MUST FIND 3!!

oh, talking of fan made sequels... anyone heard of Mother 3.5? looks so bad and everyone is raving on about it, lol, i think fans are going to kill the mother franchise -.-
